Last weekend i have flew to Poland as we had some family celebration.
As usually I try to kill two ( or more ) birds with one stone by seeing as many family members and close friends as possible.
I never know when will be next time I am going to see them again.
One very important person I went to see was my younger brother, Pawel.
Pawel is seventeen.
Him and his friends are keeping active and doing all different sorts of sports.
Martial arts,Thaiboxing ,football,weight lifting, running and many others.
They have got a lot of energy,looking for challenge and different way of spending the day.
I was thinking what kind of useful present I could bring with me for Pawel to share with his friends.
Something not too big or too heavy, to fit my hand baggage.
Something practical, universal, sports related and promoting healthy lifestyle.
Couldn't think of nothing better fitting all these criteria than skipping ropes.
Basic PVC cord ropes, couple of pounds worth, available at any sports shop in UK.
Them basic ones I personally found the best. Light, fast and strong.
Jumping ropes are my every days training equipment. Running, skipping, shadow boxing, stretching, meditating, body weight workouts. All these are essential of mine and I believe many other fighters training.
You don't need much to do all of these activities. Jogging suit and trainers, skipping rope, bit of creative imagination to make your training more interesting and finally bit of strong will power.
You can use skipping rope as a great, full body warm up, you can use it to cool down as well as you can use it as a complete training.
You can put it in between other exercises to boost up your cardiovascular achievements or you can use it as an active rest in between the series.
Skipping can be done with different types of ropes to adjust the weight of that great tool. When using one type you can always put some weights on your wrists, ankles or even you can wear weighted vests.
You can increase the speed, bring your knees up high or double skip.
It is fantastic cardiovascular workout which develops coordination, arms and legs strength, especially calves muscles.
A lot of skipping ropes beginners, get problems with with their shins.
I suppose it is due to unusual vibration and usage of that part of the legs while skipping.
So I wouldn't recommend to over do it at the beginning.
Increase the time and pressure of rope jumping gradually.
When doing the exercise remember that you wanna do it as a imitation of your fighting movements.
Make sure you keep your chin down, arms and elbows close to your body, use your shoulders rotation to move the rope more than your arms.
Stay loose and enjoy it.
Don't make it hard work .
Cross your arms, change your stands, play around.
Remember that you doing it to get better not to punish yourself.
Have fun.
Good luck.
