Hello everyone!
You all are welcome again to our training section with @Okoriepresh27, courtesy of @steemfitnesshub.

Today, we would be discuss an important program- Skipping .

We hope to understand the following by the end of the class:

• What's skipping?
• Benefits of skipping.
• Targeted muscle group.
• Proper ways to do it!
• Mistakes to avoid!

Before we continue, I want to believe that we all have been practicing the programs we've been discussing.
It's really important that we do that, cause it is the essence of all this.
We want us all to stay fit while we steem.

Having said that, let's get to our program for today.

SKIPPING EXERCISE

Skipping is a cardio, aerobic and full body exercise that is very effective in the burning of calories, improving body stamina, lessens jointing on the joints, improves ones focus and other benefits.

This program is cost effective and can be done at the comfort of your home.

Analysis shows that you can burn up to 200-300 calories when you skip for 10-30 minutes.

It has more benefits.

BENEFITS OF SKIPPING EXERCISE

Every exercise has it's benefits.
Below are the benefits of skipping exercise.

• Burns body fat and calories.
• Improves body flexibility.
• Reduces risk of heart diseases.
• Increases body stamina.
• Strengthens the bone.
• Boosts mental health and many more.

TARGETED MUSCLE GROUPS

Note first that skipping is a full body workout, so it targets lots of muscle groups.

They are:

• Calf muscles.
• Quads.
• Hamstrings.
• Glutes.
• Abs.
• Oblique muscles.
• Forearms.
• Biceps.
• Triceps.
• Shoulders.
• Back muscles
• Chest muscles and others.

PROPER WAY OF SKIPPING

Method 1: Get yourself a good rope. It should be one that almost gets to your shoulder when folded in two.
That way, it makes it comfortable for you to jump when you flip the rope.

When choosing the rope, it should be one that has a handle that isn't too light or too heavy. The handle should also be easy to grip.

Method 2: While standing, hold the handles of the rope in each of your hands.
Place your hands and forearms at least foot-width apart from your body.

Method 3: Step over the rope while it's still on the ground so it would hang behind you.

Method 4: It's now time to do the exercise.
Using your hands and your wrist, flip the rope over your head.
Hop over the rope when it's coming toward your front feet.

N/B: While doing this, make sure the movement of the flip is limited to your wrist.
And the hopping movement is limited to your ankle.

Also note that the heavier the rope, the higher the resistance level. That helps to build more muscle.

Return to the starting position to complete a rep.

For a beginner, do a 3-5 minutes reps of 5 sets.

MISTAKES TO AVOID

1. Do not use an unsuitable rope length.
If the rope is too short or long, it becomes a problem to get the exercise well.

2.Do not fail to grip the handle of the rope perfectly.
When you have a good grip of the handle, it makes its easier for you to control the movment of the rope when you are working out.

3. Do not place your arms too far apart.
Doing that shortens the length of the rope and makes it difficult to make a jump.

4. Not having fun when working out.
Yes, it is an exercise, but you still need to find a way to have fun.
So, when skipping, try to also make it fun.
