A technique to HITT " Jump Roping"

HIIT with a jump rope is a really good workout, especially if you are already handy with a jump rope. If you’re new to working out with a jump rope you probably aren’t going to look like Rocky Balboa the first few times – but you will get the hang of it.

The basic principles of jump rope high intensity interval training are exactly the same as any other HIIT. You need to alternate between high and low intensity (active rest) intervals and you can monitor your intervals via time, heart rate or number of jumps.

Personally I find it difficult to count the number of jumps for HIIT so I use my Gymboss to monitor intervals, along with a heart rate monitor with a chest strap.
