No doubt you have seen video of boxers jumping rope. The flashy and mesmerizing moves. It is not all for show. Jumping rope is one of the best ways to improve your footwork for fighting; whether in boxing, kick-boxing, or MMA. It helps your rhythm, balance, coordination, and endurance. The exercise strengthens your calf muscles. Jumping rope is great for a warm up exercise before you engage in more strenuous work in the gym. The basics - rotate your wrists, not your arms and try to just clear the rope with your hops, and look straight ahead and not at your feet. Now grab a rope and start skipping!
I am a big believer in physical fitness. This is especially important for those engaged in Combat Sports, such as Boxing, Kickboxing, and MMA. It does not matter how skillful you are if you cannot go the distance. That is why I became a Certified MMA Conditioning Coach. I wanted to have the knowledge to train athletes to be in top physical condition to compete successfully. To show just how serious I am about fitness, I recently entered a fitness competition. I am competing to be crowned Mr. Health & Fitness for 2023. You can view my profile and cast your vote here: https://featured.muscleandfitness.com/2023/roderick-p
