Best Jump Rope Training DVD Workouts

If your looking for a high calorie burning workout in a short amount of time, then jump roping workouts may be something of interest to you.

Jump roping has to be one of my favorite workouts, its like going to recess and getting rid of all the extra flab around my waist. I like to jump rope to DVD's because they get me focused, I am not worried about the time or how many reps I am doing.

Once you get into the hang of jump roping you can do more then just do workout videos. I personally like to have the jump rope with me to do little ten minute exercise times in my free time, but the videos are great.

If you want to learn jump rope why not learn if from United States Olympian Buddy Lee. This workout goes over the basics but also has a guide for those that can go quickly beyond the basics into more challenging jump rope workout routines.

This jump rope video is more instructional then the basic workout video. If you looking for a video to workout with every time you jump rope this is not it. But if your looking to learn the basics and advanced moves so you can workout with a jump rope on your own.

Both dancing and jump roping burns a lot of calories why not combine them. This video defiantly stands out from the rest so it can be a great stand alone workout or you can buy it with more traditional workouts to use when you want to do something a little different.

This is a traditional half hour jump rope workout with lots of new turns a twists to learn. If you are not yet to this level, don't worry they also make a basic jump rope workout for beginners too.

To find a rope that fits, place one foot in the center of the rope and lift the handles -- they shouldn't go past your armpits.

Are you wondering what size of rope you need? You should be, a too small rope or too big rope can hinder you jumps. Although if when buying it is best to buy a rope that is too big because you can always Tie a knot in it to make it shorter.

A rope that is the right size for you will not go past your arm pits if your standing on the middle of the rope.

Its time to go back to fifth grade gym exercise routines. This simple exercise done right can burn just 135 calories in ten minutes.

1. When Jumping only the balls of your feet should touch the floor. Each jump should be one to two inches from the floor.
2. Move the rope by keeping elbows close to side making the movement from the wrists and forearms. Avoid moving rope from the shoulders.
3. Keep going through your set goal of time. If you wanted to jump rope for ten minutes but find yourself to tired to keep going after 8 minutes, drop the rope and keep jumping without the rope.

1. If new do not give up. Its normal to think of jump roping as a kids game, something that is easy and anyone can do it. But truth is we are not all kids anymore and jumping at first may be a little tiresome. But give it time and effort and it will become more like play.
2. Invest in a rope that is meant for your height and size. Getting a dollar store jump rope may sound an easy fix at first but it will only hinder you further. A rope meant for working out with may even help further.
3. Drinking water is good and is needed to keep hydrated. But drinking to much before or during will only get you sick and may shorten your workout.
