Sure, everyone spent their childhood jumping rope at recess, but who would've ever thought that it would come to be one of the best ways to stay fit as an adult?
Rope'n, a group exercise class offered at Fitcorp Prudential, combines childhood roping with plyometrics, and strength training to help participants burn up to 700 calories in an hour.
This high energy class is a great anerobic work out. By pairing exercises that cause your heart rate to rapidly rise and fall, one is able to burn more calories than a basic cardio work out.
Jump roping also tones muscles in the entire body and maximizes athletic skills by combining agility, coordination, timing, and endurance.
"Not only is this class efficient, but it is fun," says Jackie Glandon, Group Fitness Director. "It is my favorite class to teach."
And don't worry, if your not a jump roper, practice makes perfect. - Says Group Fitness Teacher Corinne Donovan, "Don't get nervous if you haven't jumped rope since you were 12 years old. It's easy to pick it up again, it's addicting.. And most importantly, it's a great work out!"
[Both Jackie and Corinne teach ROPE'N at Fitcorp Prudential; Mondays from 12pm-1pm, and Thursdays from 6:45pm-7:30pm - For more information visit www.fitcorp.com]
