The movement especially targets your legs, calves, quads, and hamstrings, as well as the muscles in your feet and ankles.
It also works your core, biceps, and shoulders. What’s really neat is that you don’t have to actively think about engaging all of these muscle groups at once, while you jump—it tends to just happen naturally.
Proper jump rope helps develop good footwork and agility. This benefit of jump rope translates especially well to sports where you have to change direction very quickly like boxing, basketball, and volleyball.
Jumping rope requires a lot of coordination. Your hands, feet, and sometimes even eyes all need to work together to ensure you swing the rope properly, jump over it at the right time, and then repeat the pattern at a steady cadence. This high level of coordination may feel super challenging at first, but stick with it and you’ll see your baseline skills improve. As this happens, you’ll be able to tackle new footwork patterns and tricks with the rope, which can keep the activity feeling fresh and fun.
If you skip regularly, you will be able to get rid of excess belly fat, also known as abdominal fat. Skipping exercises your abdominals by using them to stabilise the bod, and it burns calories really quickly.
