Jump Rope Training

[gotHEARTfighter]

Does anyone use jumping rope as their primary means of cardio conditioning? I bought one a few weeks ago and started using it, most often on days that I'm not lifting. I'm trying to not do so much cardio, because currently I'm tryig to gain some muscle mass.

Anyway, I was looking over at www.rossboxing.com and came across this. Jeez! It made me feel like I was on the playground! Of course, even after about a minute I'm breathing a little heavy. His advice was for 6 X 3 minute rounds. What does anyone here who does use the rope do for a workout?

yeah after a while it gets kinda easy though... rossboxing is an AWESOME site though. i post on there too- whats your name?

practice, i also used a leather rope with weighted handles for a while, then after that broke, the speed ropes at the gym were ridiculously easy. And get a rope thats the right size for you, stand on the rope and the handles should come up to your armpit no futher.

Thanks for that advice, i was always wondering how i could tell if the jumprope was too long.
