Buy a jump rope! That's right a jump rope take your health and fitness to a new level. Jumping rope will work your entire body while elevating your metabolism to speed up your fat loss.

If you haven't jumped rope in a long time or ever it will take a little getting used to. Start off slow to get the rythem and coordination down. Start off following a pattern similar to interval training.

As a beginner start with a count of ten jumps(one-one thousand, two one thousand etc)depending on your fitness level. Then drop to the floor and do ten pushups( or whatever your health and fitness level will allow).

By adding in the pushups you have now added an anaerobic movement.

As your health and fitness levels increase jump for longer periods and add more pushups. You can also add in other bodyweight exercises such as dips(done in between 2 chairs), reverse crunches,bodyweight squats etc.
