Submitted by on March 22, 2010 – 3:18 amOne Comment



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.

  • 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.
