Jump roping is a good cardio work out that works your arms, legs, and core. It also strengthens  your bones and helps improve your balance.  It's a great conditioning exercise which increases your heart rate and works your lungs to warm your body up.  Jumping rope as a warm up increases blood flow throughout the body which in turn helps prevent injury.  Jump roping can be done in a small area with little equipment.

There are 650 Striated muscles in the human body. These 650 muscles are important

because without muscles you would not be able to stand, sit, talk etc. What people don't

often realize is that if they do not take care of these muscles they are shortening their own 

life span. For example as you get older your muscles start to deteriorate. Without regular 

exercise they could deteriorate faster. Resulting in earlier death.

The best way to lose weight is to pick an activity and stick with it. Exercise for at least thirty minutes

a day to be healthy. Watch what you eat, but don't do any extreme diets. Simple activities, like

cleaning or walking, can also help. Taking pills to lose weight can be unhealthy unless directed by a doctor.
