The Fat Blasting Jump Rope Workout

It combines 5 basic jumps into a circuit that not only blasts tons of fat but also tones the legs, abs, and arms.

If you're new to jump rope exercises be sure to warm up with 5-10 minutes of walking, cycling, step ups, or stair running.

Perform each each jumping exercise for 2 minutes. Take breaks when you lose your coordination but try to keep moving the entire time. Go from one jump rope exercise to the next with no breaks so your jump rope workout lasts only 10 minutes.
