Old School

We took the training today old school with some rope skipping. Jumping rope has been around since people starting training and some of the worlds greatest athletes have used this simple tool to build high levels of conditioning. Athletes include Muhammad Ali and Bruce Lee to super stars like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods. Skipping rope builds much more conditioning, while training the athlete must maintain focus to time the jumps and use good hand foot coordination to keep the rope turning and not get tangled in the athletes feet. And when fatigue sets in the athlete has to dig deep mentally and physically to complete the training session. More challenging and fun than running and the pay back is tremendous.
