I was wondering if anyone jumped rope as part of their fitness routine. I injured my back at the beginning of the year, and I only recently have been able to jog and jump.
I've noticed that in just a few short sessions I have already increased my lung capacity, and I currently am limited by my back more than my lungs now. I have a friend that I do some work for occasionally and I found out that he has been jumping rope regularly for some time as part of his soccer training. He recently showed me his jumpfit log on his phone of a 17 minute jump session with about 2000 jumps and 250 calories burned.
He really inspired me to try to incorporate jumping into my routine. I can't help but think that my tennis would be much better if I had that level of cardio fitness. So far I am only up to 5 minutes.
If you jump rope regularly, I'd like to hear about your results as it relates to your tennis play. Thanks.
