When you were a kid, did you jump rope? This is Judy Gaman and this is your Stay Young Medical Minute. That age old childhood game is great exercise for both kids and adults. Besides, no other exercise prop is as easy to carry with you on trips and to the office. Not only is jumping rope a great cardiac workout, it also strengthens muscles in the arms, legs, and core, giving you a whole body work out in a short time. 8-10 minutes of jumping rope can erase the sins of a regular size candy bar – so go ahead and cheat on your diet, as long as you’re prepared to jump it off. Don’t forget, jumping rope is also good for coordination and brain health because you have to concentrate on jumping at just the right time. If you think you’re out of practice – well that’s ok. Jumping rope is like riding a bike, once you learn it, you never really forget it.
