Speed Ropes Are Used By Many People

By Traci Witt


There are a myriad of exercise routines out there and people looking to lose weight or gain muscle have tried them all. Or at least it seems like they have. There are routines for endurance and some for speed. There are those for burning calories and some for adding more bulk. But no matter which you are using right now you most likely have included speed ropes at some point.

Jumping rope is no longer just a children's game played in the street. There are people who are taking this sport to the next level and doing it bigger and faster than most people would have ever guessed was possible. The competition teams are traveling around the world and filling arenas all because people want to see what they can do.

Competition teams have developed over the years from the people who have been doing this for a long time. They travel all around the world and amaze people everywhere. There are a variety of styles that they compete in from freestyle trick teams to endurance teams. Some of these athletes have been using speed ropes for many years.

The materials used for the speed ropes made today are more high tech than anything every before. In a way you almost can't even call them ropes because they are rarely made from such materials anymore. Today they are using high intensity cables and handles that reduce friction on the cable and your hands as well as allowing the cable to rotate smoothly.

Removing any form of resistance makes for a smoother transition with the exercise and therefore a better workout. When used in combination with various other styles of work out many people say that it is probably the most complete exercise you can do. This is maybe one of the reasons why it has taken off so quickly.

So many companies today have gotten into the speed ropes business that you can search the Internet and come up with over a hundred results. Looking in world record books also can give some insight into the popularity of the sport. People are vying for new records every year. Rotations per second or super long endurance records.

Some will also do these in 30 second intervals so as to give themselves a small break in between. This can be helpful because until you start doing these you really have no clue how tiring it can be. Looks can be deceiving and using these workouts will surely build strength but they also take a lot of energy.

It can be like running or sprinting. Large amounts of energy in short bursts. It might not be for everybody but that does not mean you shouldn't at least give it a try. Speed ropes can do wonders for your body and your conditioning. Just make sure you do it right and do not push too far too fast. Just like anything else, start off slow and build up to a higher workout. You want to lose calories and build your strength.
