A Jump Rope Cardio Workout

[libra32]

Cathe,

How about creating a cardio workout, using a jump rope? I'd love this because it's relatively low impact, yet high intensity (and in my opinion, fun!) with fat/caloric burning benefits. I love how rope jumping improves coordination, timing, endurance and muscle toning. And since a jump rope would be the only equipment needed in addition to the DVD/tape, it would be less expensive and easier to take on vacations/travels. I know some of your workouts include moments where you "mime" rope jumping without the jump rope and I've always enjoyed them. Now that I've pleaded my case, hopefully you'll consider

Thanks!

I only cask, Cathe, that if you do this, please have someone doing the same moves but without the jump rope! Some of us have low ceilings and/or not enough room to use the actual rope, so having someone mimic the jump rope movements at all times would be a big help!

I'd go for this---with or without the actual jump rope. It should make for a pretty good cardio workout, and with Cathe's creativity and cueing, it should also make for a fun workout.
