Here’s my friend Dennis Heenan. It’s unlikely that we’ll be sharing shoes or pants ever. He’s one of the tallest dudes I know. I feel like a pixie next to him. This dude can really move surprisingly well with those long legs.
We were in Vegas for a meeting of Fit Pros not too long ago and being the fitness geek I am, I had my jump rope with me. Dennis and I broke out and did a little video for you on the merits of jumping rope.
The great thing about jumping rope is that it’s surprisingly easy on your knees when you do a double foot jump.
Also, you can jump rope anywhere. You can get a FAST, fat burning workout that will boost your metabolism for hours after you’re done, unlike low intensity cardio (like jogging) where your calorie burning ends with the workout.
If you want some cool jump rope workouts, you can check out Challenge Jump Rope. You’ll find workouts that you can do as a ‘finisher’ or you can use the workouts as a ‘stand alone’ program. Perfect for the holidays, vacation or just when you need something quick with very little equipment.
Ever tried to jump rope with a giant? Take a look:
Have fun jumping rope, (jumping with a giant like Dennis is a REAL challenge). Need a plan? Challenge Jump Rope is your answer.
And speaking of workouts that can be ‘done anywhere’, Dennis has a great one for you below:
This is a perfect ‘finisher’ or encore workout that you can do at the end of your workout. OR, if you only have 4 minutes, this is MORE EFFECTIVE for fat burning and fitness conditioning than 30 minutes of low intensity cardio.
This is a ‘do anywhere’ bodyweight workout: 
Super Hero Bodyweight Seven
- 7 burpees
- 7 squat jumps
- 7 push ups
- 10 seconds of ALL OUT stationary sprints
Repeat AMRAP (as many rounds as possible) in 4 minutes
