What Are The Benefits of Jumping Rope for Bodybuilding?
I have to say that for some reason I never actually jumped rope other than when I was a kid. A week or so ago a reader of this blog asked me to do a post on the benefits of jumping rope. I said that is a good idea, but what I did not say is that I have little idea of the benefits of jumping rope simply because I have not incorporated it into my workout routines. yes me, the guy who advocates to try any and all exercises I some how lost sight of jumping rope. So I went and bought a jump rope at the store and come to some very quick conclusions. Before I get to those however I just wanted to point out that although something like jumping rope has been around for decades it does not mean it is less effective. I am learning that the hard way at the moment. All that to say there are benefits of jumping rope and if you want to know the ones I have found in this short time, then keep on reading.
What I Quickly Found Out About Jumping Rope
After I purchased the jump rope I went home with an intention to simply do just that, jump rope for 10 minutes. Being way out of practice it took me a couple restarts to find my groove without having the rope get tangled on my legs and feet. Within 5 minutes I knew that there were some pretty strong benefits of jumping rope, here are the top three benefits of jumping rope I found:
- It give you on heck of a cardio workout. If you simply just jump rope with no variations you will notice that it gets your heart rate up rather quickly. Within 10 minutes I had a strong sweat going and my calves were burning a bit.
- It can work your core like crazy. I would say within the first five minutes I started to shuffle my feet, get into a squat position and jump rope from that fix position, I did doubles, and a few different variations that all require not only leg strength but core strength. If you simply clench your abs while jump roping you will feel it. I was truly surprised as how effective it worked my core
- It helps increase your agility and leg endurance, especially with the variations. The more variations I threw into the 10 minute jump rope routine the harder it got, the more I was out of breath, and the more I was sweating. That is probably why jumping rope is a staple in a boxers training routine.
I consider myself a novice in jumping rope, and have only seen a small sampling of the benefits of jumping rope. But I know for a fact that I am going to put jumping rope into my workout routines from here on out. In fact, I have jumped rope each day since I bought my jump rope. It has already helped me build more muscle endurance in my legs which is a target of mine as of late. The benefits of jumping rope are quickly paying off I must say.
Here is a good video by a fellow fitness blogger Srdjan where he shows you 23 jump rope exercises you can do:

Final Thoughts on The Benefits of Jumping Rope
I know that there are far more benefits of jumping rope than I know of at the moment. I would love if you would leave a comment as to what benefits of jumping rope you have found and if you know of a good routine. Since I am new at this I am all ears for any ideas and feedback. One thing is for sure, I am going to keep jumping rope and incorporate that into my routines moving forward. I know I am just at the very early stages of knowing all of the benefits of jumping rope and that is a good place to be I must say.
