Jump rope as Cardio!

[int3l]

also for this kind of stuff probably not in the mornings. you'll have to pm warboss or something but to my understanding if you do intense cardio in the morning before breakfast when your glycogen stores are depleted you'll burn muscle along with fat because muscle supposedly gives energy faster. (i should really know this crap cause im doing biomed but nooo see what happens when you slack off) so i'd probably say around 4-5pm for best results.

I read on a military website that you're suppose to land on your heel to avoid injury to knees and ankle. Is this true?

When i box, i do 3 minute rounds, and 1 minute rest, then 3 minute rounds for 20 minutes or so. Do the intervals for fat loss, and if you are going for performance, try to do a constant 10 minute.. Will be hard at first, but i do about 100 jumps / 40 seconds at a steady pace, so 10 minutes is about 1500 jumps.. SO just count in your head to time yourself.

When i jump freestyle, like no timer or anything i will do about 1000 or so, but i go by the 100, so if i mess up at 210 i start back at 200, if i mess up at 286 i start back at 200.

If you can, do it about 2 hours after lunch
