Jump rope exercises have been used in fitness for a long time now. However, because of the availability of the rope and the exercises can be done practically anywhere, this "old school" of exercise is still being utilized up to now.
The physical benefits of the exercises are tremendous, ranging from a total cardio vascular workout to toning of arms, legs and the core. However, precautions should be undertaken as this high impact exercise program can aggravate painful conditions of the joints of the spine, hips, knees and ankles. It is not advisable too to be performed by extremely obese persons because the added pounding on the joints brought about by the extreme body weight can hurt the joints themselves. Special consideration also, for the elderly who have been diagnosed with bone demineralization problems.
