Thinking about Cardio

The next thing to add to my workouts to really make my weight loss a reality is some cardio. Cardio comes in many forms like jumping rope, running, biking, aerobic kickboxing, etc.

I’m sure you can tell that one of the things I am trying to do is make this a low cost workout routine that anyone can do. I could lay out a bunch of money and get a gym membership, but besides the cost, there is also the time, driving to and from the gym, waiting on equipment.

So my low cost choice is jumping rope. I bought a GoFit Weighted Jump Rope from Amazon. Many people think of jumping rope a something kids do but jumping rope is a great cardio workout. For example a 175 pound man will burn 225 calories in just 15 minutes. If that doesn’t motivate you think about rocky and all the other boxers using a jump rope to prepare for fights. This should do the job and is a great price!
