Jump Roping

[BatesMotel]

I just started jump roping last week to build up my stamina but it's really hard.

Does anyone jump rope for 5 minutes or more?

[Shaolin-Do]

yup.

with ankle weights. Makes you jump real high.

Just stick with it, it'll get easier. I wouldn't do the ankle weight thing though. Could be bad for you joints(not those joints SD;) )

I usually jump for about 20. Do it in rounds, not straight - especially in the beginning. Jump for two mins, then rest for 1 min. repeat.
