Skipping and Bone Density

The Osteoporosis Society in the [...]]]> skip-hop have produced skipping workout and skipping workshops programs, carefully designed to improve your levels of fitness, agility, coordination and general health. If you think about it, can it be a coincidence that almost all professional sportsmen and women use skipping as part of their daily workout routine.

Skipping and Bone Density

The Osteoporosis Society in the UK recommends 2 to 5 minutes of a physical activity like skipping every day to help prevent osteoporosis.

The benefits of a physical activity like skipping in relation to osteoporosis are very well established. Weight bearing activity that puts stress on the bone is recommended during adolescence to develop optimum bone mass. It is also beneficial to maintain activities like skipping throughout life because it minimises the rate of bone loss and provides the maximum protection against osteoporosis. Skipping is an ideal activity to help prevent Osteoporosis.

Visual Spatial Perception in Skipping As if the aforementioned were not enough, skipping must combine the skills of rhythm and timing in relation to visual spatial perception by recognizing the skipping rope’s; distance, direction, speed and position.

All these calculations are performed very rapidly in the brain and then converted into movement by the skipper to enable him or her to perform the basic skipping techniques. Once these basic skips are mastered then there are ever more complex skipping techniques and skipping tricks which will further tax and therefore develop these emerging skills.

Another amazing benefit of skipping to lose weight is that it’s so cheap! You don’t need a gym membership, DVD, video, bike, treadmill or weights. All you need to add skipping to your workout is a jump rope.

Skipping is a wonderful workout for both the heart and lungs, and it works the muscles too. Jumping is excellent for shaping up your hips, stomach, thighs and buttocks, and swinging the rope even gives your arms a work out. Jumping rope really is a total body workout, and you don’t have to do it for hours to reap the rewards.

Without running it speeds your heart rate like that of a runner and so requires a lot of energy to maintain a good fitness point.

But skipping rope can be frustrating or boring as after missing a few jumps. Even if you have a good stamina and maintain a good coordination, you fail to skip for more than 2 minutes. This is because your calves and Achilles tendons are stressed when you keep skipping in the same pattern and when they sting you start missing.

So to skip without missing you have to keep changing from a single bounce to a double bounce or to a skip or a jog or a knee up. You should keep changing the skipping style after every 30 seconds to avoid fatigue. To avoid a miss you can even do side skipping or rotating rope without jumping. This can be to warm you up in the start or to avoid any halt during the sets.

Skipping is a great exercise and something that everyone can do in their spare time.  Skipping is also the ideal sport for everyone, regardless of age and is enjoyed by all.

Skipping is a great exercise and something that everyone can do in their spare time.  Skipping is also the ideal sport for everyone, regardless of age and is enjoyed by all. 

As well as being fun skipping rope is a fun and efficient way of losing weight.  Skipping is also an excellent exercise for improving cardiovascular fitness and is medium impact. 

You will find that skipping is a great way to exercise whether as part of your warm-up or included in your main exercise session.  In no time at all you will see that a few minutes of skipping training creates lots of fitness benefits. 

 

 

The Benefits:

Skipping can be used for several reasons in respect to your fitness.  For example, it can help with endurance training or to develop your speed in short bursts.  It is also an excellent exercise to help you train your coordination and to develop a sense of rhythm. 

Skipping is excellent because it is a cheap, medium impact exercise and extremely effective for improving your cardiovascular fitness. 

Skipping will help improve cardio-respiratory (heart and lungs) fitness, flexibility and co-ordination and can help reduce the risk of heart disease, lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

It’s also an excellent way for you to lose weight or tone up.

 

 

Equipment

A good place to find a quality skipping rope is at a boxing/martial arts shop.  However, most good sports shops should have what you will need.  I would recommend a good quality leather skipping rope which will have a good weight to it and will be fast at travelling through the air.

Always make sure, as well, that you have the right length skipping rope for your height.

 

 

The Basics of Skipping

Always make sure that you skip whilst wearing properly fitting trainers as this will help to support your feet, ankles and also your knees.

Ensure that you keep your elbows tucked in and do not lean forward.

Try to skip quickly but keep your movements to a minimum.  You want to keep the rope tight.

Alternate jumping from one foot to the other whilst skipping the rope.  Do not jump the rope with both feet together.  Try to be light on your feet and land softly with each foot.

At first it is a good idea to try to skip for at least a minute and then take a 3 minute rest.

It’s also a good idea to skip with music playing which will help you to keep going.
