Jump Rope Training

I had a Junior High basketball coach, over 40 years ago, who was also my P.E. teacher.
He was an elderly gentleman who was in excellent physical condition.
Before each practice, we had to jump rope at least 600 rotations.
I can attest to the fact that it was an excellent method of getting us in shape rapidly, and it dramatically helped with developing our coordination.
Years later, I decided to purchase a jumping rope when I was in College. Once again, I found that it helped me stay in shape and that it was just great fun.
At 56, I decided to buy a jumping rope to complement my exercise routine. It is like riding a bike.
No matter how long you have been away from jumping rope, it all comes back to you including the fond memories.
