I want to do HIIT and my prefered method of cardio is jumprope. Problem is I don't have a timer to time the "hard" and "moderate" cycles of the intervals, and counting seconds whle I jump rope confuses my rhythm and makes me trip more often. So can I do HIIT on the jump rope using number of jumps instead of time? Something like this: 250jump warmup 60 jump HARD 120 jump moderate 60 jump HARD 120 jump moderate ...repeat for ~15mins... 200jump cooldown Would that give me the benefits of HIIT or what? If not, how could I do a timerless jumprope HIIT?
buy a small kitchin timer for 4 buck at wall-mart ,targrt ect set it for how ever long you want to train set it in front of you then watch the seconds as it counts down
I was shown a similar thing not too long ago that takes about 3 minutes up and down 10 slow 10 fast 10 slow 20 fast up to 50 and down again. Admitedly you can't sprint for the whole duration, but it sure gets your arms used to the lactate involved in boxing (yes yes and skipping)
