Hi Everyone!

This is a fun and challenging workout! The Lower Body Challenge is going strong. Jump Rope helps tone the muscles of the lower body, while also providing great cardiovascular and fat burning benefits. The benefits of jumping rope are comparable to the benefits of running in many ways. If you want to read more about the benefits of Jump Rope click here. 

If you don’t have a jump rope you can complete Ropeless Jumping, High Knees, Jumping Jacks or cardio of your choice. 

When you jump rope you want to focus on keeping your arms bent at a 90 degree angle and maintaining a pace that challenges you throughout. Land from toe to heel, and don’t worry to much if you step on the rope. The more you practice the better you will get. Just get right back into it as quickly as you can. 

I hope you enjoy this workout! Get ready for a repeat of the Lower Body Fit Test for the Tight and Toned Lower Body Challenge.
