Hi SF-crew!
Do any of you have experience with jump rope training or know enough about sport science to evaluate it's use as a way to train the heart and lungs?
Is there any truth to the common phrase that 10 minutes of jumping rope equals about 30 minutes of jogging? (I personally doubt it)
What would a basic jump rope routine look like that would be similar to a beginner running program for a 5k/3mi run?
One of my goals for 2019 was to meet my governments recommendation for cardio vascular training and to build up 3-4 weekly 30-45min runs. Problem is I really struggle making time for running or going to the gym to cycle or row. It's not really something I enjoy doing.
So for the last couple weeks I have worked on Buddy Lee's 3 steps to master the basics were I will build up to 3-4 10 minute sessions a week. So far I really enjoy it but just getting to the point were I can jump for 10 minutes straight takes its time. No idea how feasible it would be to work up to 20 or 30 minutes. Any thoughts on this? Are there other approaches to jump rope training that would be more up my alley (cardio benefits vs. cool moves)?
Thanks everyone! I hope you can enjoy the last days of summer!
