Benefits of Skipping

Children: Skipping improves co-ordination and rhythm, it also strengthens and tones the muscles, and it's lots of fun.

Ladies: It improves the figure by tightening flabby muscles and loose flesh on the arms, thighs, buttocks and calves. Prolonged skipping improves the bust and posture, and combined with a calorie-controlled diet, a skipping programme will help to shed pounds.

Athletes: Because of the all around effect on the body, skipping is a great way to warm up before exercise. As in running, the use of a skipping rope brings into play all major muscle groups. The longer the skip the greater the endurance.

Boxers: The boxer needs to be fast on his feet. Skipping will greatly increase speed and lightness on his feet. 10 second and 30 second bursts of speed skipping are needed and can be easily achieved.

Summary: The regular skipper, will perform his everyday activities better, will tire less, and gain better posture and confidence. Skipping is an excellent form of exercise. Important: Before starting any exercise programme - HAVE A CHECK UP.
