Jumping rope is one of the oldest training activities on the planet.

Athletes have been using jump rope exercises for centuries to achieve elite levels of fitness. But over the past decade, we’ve seen some drastic changes in this arena.

New jump rope designs, creative programs, and better materials have opened up new possibilities for anyone looking to add a unique element to their training mix.

In this post, I want to show you some of the most powerful and unique jump rope exercises that you can add to your own routine today to build endurance, burn fat, and have fun while doing it.

Let me show you.

Crossrope to the Rescue

There’s no way I would’ve been able to create this video by myself. As you’ll see in a moment, there are some challenging jump rope exercises in this video that take time to work up to.

So I ​called in the big guns…

I called up my buddy Dave to meet me in Toronto. I told him I wanted to create a video that showcased the baddest jump rope exercises on the planet.

He was game, of course.

Dave’s the owner of Crossrope, a company (which I’m affiliated with) that makes what I consider to be the absolute best jump rope training system on the planet. He’s also a jump rope ninja which is what I needed.

We’ll touch on the ropes again in a moment.

Dave and I met up and put our jump rope skills together to show you all the possibilities available with this one simple training tool. When you have the right tool and the right mindset, you can achieve any fitness goal you set out for yourself.

What I love most about jumping rope is the versatility and flexibility. It allows me to train anywhere, anytime. No gym required.​ Complete freedom.

It gives me the freedom to play around with different combinations of rope styles, rope weights, foot patterns, hand movements, speeds, and intensities to adjust my workout. Even small changes in certain areas can have HUGE effects on my workout.

That’s what I want for you.​

My hope is that this video inspires you to get out there and come up with new ways of incorporating skipping rope exercises into your own training routine.

Of course, I’m going to get this question. So let me answer it:

All of the jump rope exercises in the video were done using Crossrope’s Infinity Rope System. More specifically, we used the Premium Set:

Crossrope Premium Jump Rope Set

The Premium Set comes with six high-quality ropes that range in weight – from the 1 Oz speed rope all the way up to the 2 Lb Fury (yellow) rope.
