Slimming rope. How to jump, workout exercises for women. Feedback and Results

The jump rope has a number of advantages over other weight loss simulators that perform the same function. This is an ideal simulator for independent training. It weighs little, differs in compactness, and in terms of utility it can be compared with the “king of simulators” themselves – a bicycle.

1. Such exercises allow you to quickly lose weight (1-2 pounds will leave in a week).
2. The muscles of the arms, legs and buttocks are significantly tightened.
3. Coordination abilities develop, the ability to maintain balance is developed.

Indications for jumping rope

Rope exercises are recommended for people who:

• want to strengthen the muscles of the back and legs;
• tend to lose weight;
• want to maintain muscle tone throughout the body;
• wish to improve the work of the respiratory system, heart.

Contraindications

Who is contraindicated in jumping rope:

1. Pregnant women and recently given birth. The woman’s body is in constant stress at this time. In no case should he be injured. Therefore, active jumps, which may turn out to be traumatic, will have to be abandoned in favor of something more calm and less mobile.
2. Overweight people (in the last stages of obesity). Despite the fact that the jump rope helps to solve problems with excess weight, classes on it need to be read, being somewhat prepared. Muscles and joints may not be able to withstand excess mass and excessive pressure during such exercises.
3. People with vascular disease in the lower body. Since the load is exactly on the legs, you should take care to maintain their health. Increased pressure in this area will not help people with varicose veins.
4. People who have serious problems with the joints, musculoskeletal system, and spine.
5. Those who have serious vision problems. Active physical activity increases eye pressure, and this is contraindicated in this case. Otherwise, a person may completely lose his sight, without the possibility of his recovery.

Pros and cons of rope training

Slimming rope has its pros and cons:

pros	Minuses
A significant amount of energy is spent on each jump. Therefore, rope lessons are recognized as one of the most energy-intensive sports. An hour of active training burns about 1000 calories. For comparison: an hour of running on average allows you to throw about 560 calories.	Although the skipping rope is a small and compact tool in itself, training with it requires space. Jumping in your own room is unlikely to succeed, because there is a risk of hitting something important and valuable (or someone). For classes with a rope, a park, courtyard, stadium are ideal.
If you want to begin strengthening your vascular system, heart and lungs, you can also turn to the help of a jump rope. It creates an excellent cardio load, which will allow you to develop stamina.	Improper jumping (yes, and there are rules, violation of which leads to injury) can lead to serious health problems. Serious damage can be caused to the knee joints, back frame, lower back muscles, and ligaments.
Jumping rope allows you to work together a whole complex of different muscles: stomach, buttocks, arms, shoulders, legs and back.	Jumping rope has a number of contraindications. Therefore, such a sport cannot be called universal – it is not suitable for everyone.
When jumping on a rope, joints in the feet and hands are also strengthened. Their development will help to disperse the salts accumulated here and prolong health.
If a person is faced with the task of “Reducing the volume of legs in a short time,” then the rope will become his best friend. It will take a long time to look for funds that would cope with the goal more effectively.
Rope classes bring not only benefit, but also pleasure. Scientists have proven that jumping from childhood is associated in people with fun, carefree. Therefore, our brain, willy-nilly, will produce endorphins during such exercises, even in small quantities.

 How does jumping rope affect the body

Rope as a sports tool works best on the lower body – lower back, legs. Strengthening the legs is one of the most important points in maintaining the health of the body. Performing jumps will help increase endurance and prepare the body for more serious stresses. Rope classes can temporarily replace cardio training.

Varieties of sports rope

Arriving at a sports hypermarket just behind a skipping rope (the simplest rope with handles), a person runs the risk of being in a stupor and bewildered by an incredibly wide choice. You can seek help from a consultant, or, if you are used to doing everything yourself, to the Internet. It is better, as a diligent student, to prepare in advance and decide: what kind of jump rope and for what purpose is needed.

There are such types of ropes as:

• high-speed;
• with weighting agents;
• electronic;
• rope
• rubber.

Rope rope appeared on shelves with sports equipment a very long time ago. Such simulators were popular 50 years ago and were distinguished by safety and efficiency (the rope was used strong, dense, and it was much more difficult to twist it, due to which the muscles of the hands were strengthened).

Ropes with weighting materials took over the experience of previous generations .
Their approximate weight is one and a half pounds . Such a rope is made of steel cables. Twisting it is hard enough, so it is
suitable for professionals. For beginners, lightweight models, for example, from elastic rubber, are suitable.

The high-speed jump is distinguished by its superpower – magically rid the athlete of excess body fat. Working with it, you can develop a decent speed and make a much larger number of jumps per minute than training with a normal skipping rope. Thus, the body will spend more energy, which means that calorie consumption will increase.

Miracles of technology got to such an ordinary simulator as a simple jump rope. They, through technical improvements, turned the aforementioned rope with handles into a compact personal trainer. A calorie counter is integrated in such a rope. Now after each workout, you can see the results – albeit not in the mirror, so at least on the screen of the rope itself.

This is a good motivation to continue training. The main thing is to properly configure the “tool” before starting classes. Finally, the most simple, universal and familiar to everyone from school jump rope – rubber. This option is suitable for those who do not pursue technology, and those who are limited in budget.

After all, if the main goal of buying a rope is speedy weight loss, then you should not hesitate to choose the classics. She will cope with this task 100 percent.

Criteria for choosing a rope for weight loss

The first and most important criterion is length. Everyone remembers how important it was at school physical education to choose a rope for size. Otherwise, one would have to practice acrobatics (in order to group correctly and not get entangled in a short jump rope), rather than the correct execution of the jump.

Ropes are suitable for an adult, the length range of which will start from 2 and a half foot, and end with 9’8 foot.

The second criterion is weight. As it was written above, jump ropes are weighted and ordinary. For beginners, the simplest, rubber ones will do. With them, the probability of learning how to correctly perform jumps and quickly master the technique in order to enjoy the process is much higher.

The jump rope should serve its owner immediately until it is lost weight, and better and longer. In order not to run in the midst of training for a new simulator, you should initially take care of its quality.

A good jump rope should have:

1. Sturdy handles, best made of wood or sturdy plastic. It is worth checking right away how much the material bends when pressed, on the sounds that are made when the rope is twisted. If the handles crackle, creak and bend too much (up to the appearance of small white cracks), then they will soon become worthless.
2. The cord should be made of either thick rubber, plastic or leather. The latter material is the most durable and durable, but its price may not be affordable for many.
3. The cost of a good jump rope cannot be lower than $ 6,8. This should be remembered before going to the store.

Recommendations for beginners

A skipping rope for weight loss and maintaining muscle tone is suitable for beginners as an addiction to intense training.

Beginning athletes should pay attention to the following points:

1. Training with a skipping rope should not be monotonous. It is necessary to dilute the jumps of the same type with different types, to alternate them with bends and squats. Exercises of the same type very quickly become boring for a beginner, and his interest in any workouts disappears.
2. It is necessary to engage in a pleasant atmosphere. If the inspiration is music, you need to turn it on. If a person likes to enjoy the sounds of nature (the sound of the wind, birdsong), then you can go to the park. If a large crowd of people is embarrassed, then it is worth choosing a secluded place. For example, a school stadium at 5 in the morning or a separate section of the park, also desirable in the morning.
3. No need to work “for wear”. In everything you need to adhere to moderation. Good intensive and regular workouts, rather than a 3-hour “strength test” once a week.
4. Every 4 days it is necessary to give the muscles a rest. At first, an unprepared organism will resist such an outrageous disturbance of its calm. Do not injure him and annoy him once again. The regularity and duration of training can be increased, but gradually.

Clothes for jumping rope

A tracksuit suitable for jumping rope must meet the following requirements:

1. Do not constrain movements (materials must be elastic).
2. Do not interfere with perspiration (no rough synthetics – only natural materials).
3. For girls, a mandatory element is a sports bra. It not only has an aesthetic function, but also benefits. The chest must keep fit during active jumps so as not to distract the athlete and not cause pain.
4. A separate discussion is about jumping shoes. There is only one option – sneakers on a stable sole. It is advisable to choose light shoes. The main thing is to fix it well on the leg in order to prevent damage to the joints.
