Strenuous jump rope workout

Today, I was especially motivated to get a good workout.

I chose a guided training session offered by an app on my phone.

The program was approximately thirty minutes long and entirely designed around jumping rope. I have invested into a jump rope system that uses a single set of handles that link to ropes of different weights. This workout involved the one-pound, half-pound and quarter pound ropes. I began with the heaviest rope and completed one minute of free-style jump followed by twenty seconds of rest, repeated four times. I then switched to the lightest rope. I jumped for forty seconds, rested for twenty seconds and then performed forward lunges, backward lunges and lung jumps. I repeated this twice and returned to the one-pound rope for one minute of work and twenty seconds of rest. The half-pound rope followed the same patterns as the lightest rope. I finished with the heaviest rope, completing four rounds of work and rest. The workout burned approximately 400 calories. It was extremely intense. Afterward, I was out of breath and drenched in sweat. It got my heart pumping and definitely worked my lungs. It took me quite a while to cool down. I got a fantastic stretch at the conclusion of the workout. I concentrated heavily on stretching all of the various muscles in the legs, especially in my calves, to avoid soreness. I also drank a tremendous amount of water to make up for all of the moisture I sweated out. While the jump rope workout was strenuous, I felt wonderful after my shower. I had extra energy all day and was super productive.
