Rope work a lost art of CV

Rope work (skipping) is in my opinion one of the best full body conditioning and fat burning exercises.  After your weights  training try this little number for 15  -20 mins.  It takes alot of practise but will have you sweating and burning fat at a ridiculous rate. 

Start with some light skipping to get the blood pumping and to make sure you are fully warmed up, then skip as fast as you can  for 1 minute stop then rest for 1 minute and let you heartrate which should be high come down then repeat.  Do this for 1 min on 1 min off for 15 - 20 mins and you will feel the burn trust me. During the fast skipping minute, work as hard as you can and you will reap the rewards afterwards. The plus side to doing this after weight training is that you have used up all the glycogen in your body and will be burning bodyfat only.  Also the sortness of the training makes sure no muscle is lost.  This training is a form of interval training. Interval training involves short bursts of high intensity training  split up with rest periods.  In short your heart rate is elevated then brought down then elevated again.  This training also called HIIT training (high intensity interval training) it keeps your metabolism at its peak and can keep your body burning fat all day long.
