The Benefits of Jumping Rope – The 15 Minute Full Body Workout

A couple of weeks ago I shared my 5 Healthy Habits for 2019. My #5 is all about why I love to jump rope. Did you know you can slow down the aging process by jumping for 10-15 minutes per day?! It’s true, you can! Another thing I know any mom reading this will love: you can also tighten up your pelvic floor muscles which will prevent any leaking when you sneeze or jump. I am proof of this! I starting jumping when Poppy was little and re-trained my pelvic muscles. 4 kids and I do not have that problem, at all!

10-15 mins seems like a lot once you first begin to use a jumprope. Don’t give up! Start slow with 20 jumps. Rest a few seconds then 20 more. Work up to 100 then 200 then 500 jumps a day. Once you hit that mark, you will totally be able to hit your goal of 10-15 minutes a day.

Another reason I love jumping rope, you can literally do it anywhere. Goldie and I brought ours to the beach and jumped for 10 minutes on the deck overlooking the sunset. It feels so good to move your body with fresh air. Plus, I think I try harder knowing other beach goers are watching to see how long I can jump without tripping on the rope;)

January Fitness Favorites from Backcountry

• • Clearly our family loves a good Patagonia! My latest is this slightly cropped BLUE PUFFER. I am wearing the XS. It’s just as warm as my other Patagonia jackets. I think the color and length is perfect!
  • I own several pair of the Nike BLAZER high-tops. They are so comfortable and look great working out or with an everyday outfit.
  • I shared a sneak peek of this BACKCOUNTRY HENLEY the other day on my story. I can’t say enough good things about it! It’s lightweight and layers well. I am a huge fan and hope they make this one forever..and maybe also make it in black #hinthint
  • I love BEYOND YOGA pieces. They are soft and hold you in where it matters. My latest CROPPED TANK fits so well and features a built-in bra. I have a size small, true to size. Get it!
  • You can never go wrong with a basic BLACK LEGGING! 
  • Remember Poppy’s sweater from our FITNESS post? Well it also comes in TONS OF COLORS. The perfect oversized sweatshirt.
  • Goldie is wearing a easy to layer long sleeve BLACK TOP and loves these NIKE SHORTS! 
  • Obsessed with this new ALO SPORT BRA!
  • My favorite Hydroflask is the TUMBLER with LID/STRAW!
