30 Minutes Of Jump Rope Every Day For 30 Days
These are the benefits you could have.
Have you ever thought about doing 30 minutes of jump rope every day for 30 days? Could you imagine what that would do to your body in terms of fitness and health? Here is what you can expect.
Jumping rope is one of those great exercises that most people skip doing (pun intended). It is great for conditioning while targeting most of your lower body muscles such as the calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, abs and even your forearms.
Plus, these are some of the benefits you could expect from regularly skipping rope.
Honestly, we don't know why people don't do jump rope exercises more often as it can translate to improving other areas of your fitness by leaning out your body and strengthening at the same time.
Perhaps, not only you want to be persuaded to do jump rope daily, but you would like to know what 30 minutes of jump rope every day for 30 days would do to your body. For that, we can look at someone who has done it previously, like the brother from Goal Guys.
The Goal Guys are two brothers (Brendan and Cam Jones) with a YouTube channel with more than 400,000 subscribers. They share videos in which they take on "different goals in fitness and productivity."
Turns out that Cam Jones did 30 minutes of jump rope every day for 30 days. Here are the results.
So, what would happen to your body if you do 30 minutes of jump rope every day for 30 days? One thing that Cam Jones does talk about, before anything, is that he trained with different ropes.
There is the speed rope, which is quite famous among CrossFit athletes to be able to do double-unders easier. There are also weighted ropes, ones that are heavier than normal, which would push you to train your arms even more than regular skipping ropes. By the way, Cam Jones decided to train with weighted ropes at some point and challenged his brother to a strength competition.
The first week was incredibly difficult for Cam as he got brutally whipped by the equipment. He learned how to perfect his technique – keeping his head up, jumping in the same place, and not flaring out the elbows.
By the end of the 2nd week, Cam Jones is actually enjoying skipping rope and doing different styles of jumping. By week three he would do 10 minutes of speed rope, 10 minutes of weighted rope, and the last 10 minutes back to the speed rope.
And he continued on for the remaining days until day 30 came the results.

Oh, and the strength challenge with his brother? He won. While Brendan did 2 minutes of weighted jump rope, Cam managed just above 4 minutes.
