Jump Off Your Calories

Lunden Souza's Jump Rope and Burbee Workout 

 

 

Lunden Souza is a personal trainer, writter and blogger. She has great ideas for workouts! I just did this workout and felt amazing afterwards.

 

You do a pyramid of jump roping starting at 10 jumps then 20, 30, 40, and 50. Then you work your way back down starting at 50 jumps then to 40, 30, 20, and 10. In between each jump set, you do 5 burbees. Altogether you do 300 jumps and 40 burbees.



This workout took me about 15 minutes, burning about 150 calories. I calculated how many calories I burned jump roping with Self Magazine's Health Calculator. Doing different jumping styles such as one legged, side to side, and open close, really helps to work different parts of your legs such as your outer and inner thigh. This also helps you really feel the burn!

Another great idea in this workout is using a weighted handle jump rope. I had no idea they even existed, but this is great way to give your arm muscles a better workout. Rogue Fitness has plenty of options for weighted jump ropes to better your workout. This workout is great because you can do it anywhere, especially great with nice weather approaching.
