hobz Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Alright, I did a quick search and I found that there are many posts about skipping rope and if it is beneficial. But none of them really went into technique of it. Does anyone suggest a book to read or website? Or would anyone be kind enough to suggest some drills to do. I want to develop my footwork, agility, cardio/endurance, etc. Anything would be appreciated. Thank you! Rule #1: Play the game to the limit. Damn the consequences.
TheDevilAside Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 "Skip rope for three minutes. (A round in boxing is three minutes long.) Take a minute off, and do as many crunches as you can. Skip rope for another three minutes. During the next minute between rounds, do as many push-ups as you can. Back to skipping for three minutes Do crunches for another minute. Repeat." I lost the URL from what site I got that off of, but I got it by searching for "jump rope exercises" on google.com "If you're going through hell, keep going." - Sir Winston Churchill
Rich67 Posted February 15, 2004 Posted February 15, 2004 Try this: Skip by alternating left and right feet. Almost like you are kicking your heels out. It's real hard to describe. Watch Rocky. LOL...that'll give you some ideas as far as footwork is concerned. Throw in doubles- one jump and pass the rope under you two times. Also throw in cross arm jumps. Again, real hard to describe... As far as overall workouts, the 3 minute jump and calisthenics mentioned above is great. Do that for a total of 20 minutes and you'll be toast. Mixed Martial Artist
hobz Posted February 15, 2004 Author Posted February 15, 2004 Thanks for the responses guys, I'll try it. I also think I'm going to buy some books on speed + agility and see what I can discover Rule #1: Play the game to the limit. Damn the consequences.
