i want to add jumping rope to maybe the same day i run and lift weights, but i never jump rope. i read 10 minutes is a good start, i used to count how many jumps. do i count or just do it by minutes?

    Whatever works best for you! I started to do mine in batches of 50 jumps and just keep adding on whenever I feel I can!

    It's probably easier to do it by minute, but it's whatever works for you really! I count by minutes and use my phone's timer.

    Just do it by the minute, and 10 minutes is a good start. But you probably won't be able to jump rope for 10 minutes straight for 10 minutes. I like to do 20 seconds on, 10 second rest, do that 5 times and then do 20 squats then back to 20 seconds on, 10 second rest.

    There are some great 5-10 minute jump rope routines/workouts on YouTube, and also some good workouts that show it as part of a good HIIT workout as well. I ordered my Buddy Lee jump rope a few days ago and can't wait to add it to my routine as well.

    Good luck and enjoy.
