In times of recession, costly gym gears are way beyond reach for many of us. But, a mere ten-minute, fat-blasting, over 150-calorie-burning workout program could reap analogous rich dividends but in an economical manner.
All that is needed to get started on this fantastic workout program is a jump rope (like the one from Reebok costing just twelve dollars). Circuit is to be repeated thrice.
Foot-Firing Combos
- One starts off by straightening the jump rope on the ground, straddling the rope with feet placed apart from each other.
- Bending the elbows by shank and forearm placed out on one’s sides in parallel to the ground and hands to face forwards.
- Moving the feet upwards and downwards as quickly as doable (soccer drill-types) to be done for twenty seconds.

Squat Jacking
- Standing with feet placed close to one another, hold each of the handles in either hand.
- The areas of the arm, abdominals, buttocks and leg are targeted in this exercise.

Jump Rope Interchanging High Knee Moves
- Standing with feet placed slightly apart and hold one knob of the jumping rope in either hand.
- Jumping rope and bringing left knee upward ahead of us as near the hip level as doable while the right left is skipping as normal.
- Switching the leg on the subsequent jumping and bring the right knee upward.
- Continuing swapping the knees for sixty seconds.

Jump Rope Running
- Standing with the feet about shoulder width placed at a distance; hold one knob of the jumping rope in both hands.
- Jumping the rope and attempt touching the left heel to the buttocks while right leg is skipping as normal.
- Switching the legs on the subsequent skip, bring the right heel towards the buttocks.
- Doing six skips in totality, alternate the legs every instant, then jumping straight upwards with both the feet at one time and repeating the combination for sixty seconds.

Zig-Zagging Move
- Straightening jump rope on the ground. Standing with feet in concert to left of the jump rope at one end, facing the converse end.
- Jumping in a diagonal manner to right side of the jump rope, place feet close to each other, then swiftly jumping obliquely to left side of the jump rope.
- Continuing skipping forwards in zig-zag manner till one reaches the other end and reversing the skips back to beginning.
- Continuing skipping forwards and backwards for sixty seconds.
