Back in the day as a wrestler we used to jump rope using a chain. This not only strengthened your wrist but made you very coordinated. Otherwise you ended up with bruises when you got out of time and whacked by the chain.
Sounds pretty hardcore, that's awesome! Yeah, I can see the chain being painful hitting you. Even the rope can cause a little pain. Thanks for commenting!
I often think people try to avoid jumping rope because of the coordination and rhythm needed. Pity though as it is not only an excellent cardiovascular exercise but you learn gross motorskills.
Exactly. It took me a couple of weeks to get the hang of it. I was terrible in the beginning. I didn't jump rope when I was younger, so I was learning as an adult. But, after watching some YouTube videos and going to boxing classes I picked it up. It definitely helps with your motorskills. Thanks for the comment!
I jump on a rebounder for all the same reasons but jumping rope would definitely be a tougher and a more intense cardio workout. You've convinced me. I'll give a go.

Awesome! If you are new, it may take some practice to get started. Once I figured it out, I thought I was really cool. Made me feel like Rocky lol.
