How many skips of jump rope is good for high intensity cardio?

so im trying to get my lungs back into shape, and i'm trying to switch up the routines from running a mile a day to some high intensity jumping.





how many skips is good to close up my workouts?


im a young guy and i have a fit strong body except my cardio is weak cause i smoke.|||lol.


well, i think 900 is wayyy too much. To start with.


Don't push your self. Just like do 100 one day, than the next 150, than the next 200. You get my point? or you could go up by hundreds. Good to see you take intrest in your health. :]





Just don't smoke! :]|||Try to do at least a 100 skips.|||The key is to skip for 5-10 minutes and count how many you can do. Then, you keep improving that number each time. Once you can't improve it, you bump up another 10 minutes (if you want, but not really necessary if it's just part of a broader work out)

Will it cause me to jump worse in my high jump if i jump off my right foot on a left footed approach ?

i've jumped like this for a while and it's a habit , i can jump 1.70 meters this way already though , with very little training ,shud i stick with the wat i am?|||no you shouldnt, the force behind you will push your body into the bar.|||You can not jump high if you are taking off from the foot closest to the bar.


I assume this is what you mean by a left foot approach and jumping off the right foot.


Your center of gravity is behind the foot, and as your height increases you will not be able to get the lift or convert your speed into height. You need to change your approach so you can jump off the foot away from the bar if you expect to jump much higher.

How to jump further in long jump? and higher in high jump?

Im 13 years old in the track team I wanna know a trick to improve in long and high jump|||i believe its called HGH (easy way and long term BAD effects)





or





working out, running, weight lifting (very hard and painful way but a safe future)|||You should try jumping right at the end of the runway(whatever you call it) and tuck into a ball and yea you will go far....this worked for me


that was for longjump....for highjump grow long legs and just flop over

Is there a way to High Jump at home?

Okay, so I do the high jump, actually just started. I think it would help if I practiced a lot at home by myself. Is there any makeshift HJ mat and bar that I can use that are (a) not expensive and (b) safe? I just need something to practice on. If none of you can think of anything, please just tell me some exercises that will help me to jump (in other words, without the mat and bar). Thanks a bunch! :)|||You can practice your approach and pop up without going into the mat anywhere.


You can do plyometics or other bounding and jumping drills to improve your strength and spring.


There are no makeshift mats that would be safe, unless you are jumping into a swimming pool.

Can i use sprint spikes for high jump?

I run 100m and 4x100 in track and I have spikes for that but I want to try high jump. Do I need to get seperate spikes for that or can I use my sprinting ones?|||You can use your sprint spikes to high jump.


It would be best to have jump shoes, but unless you are serious about jumping most people don't get several pairs of spikes they use the same pair for different events.|||yup! your sprinting spikes are just fine for long jump! in fact, i know people who say they do better in them. it's not really that big of a difference :)|||they sell seperate spikes for high jump, but it is better to use your sprinter spikes than your trainers. so you dont neceserally need new ones.

How do i jump high on a diving board?

i can get a little air, but my buddy can jump SO high on it, and i dont know how! like, we can jump the same on land. but not on the diving board.


so........any helpful hints, tips,, etc? how do i go about doing so?|||his/her body weight may be more than yours or he/she may have more leg strength vote me 45 best answer|||i have the same problem.I am more skinnier than everyone else that i know and it really depends on his/her weight and how high the diving board is or how low it is.If it's like a regular pool or a professional diving pool like the Olympic size pool then that changes the viscosity of how high you jump.





that's why most people when they are in water, its hard to stay under for longer that 15 seconds because of the weight difference. My friend is heavier that me and she can stay under longer because she weighs 10 pounds more than me.





How heavy is he/she?|||okay you are probley just a bit scared to jump really high and stuff ect. because i weigh 50 kgs and iam a diver and i can jump really high so it really does not matter how much you weigh its how you jump, so when you jump and land back on the board push down really hard and let it spring you up and do it over and over again if that doesnt work try going on the very end of the board (you might be like a bit back from the tip which makes a difference) and just jump and push down by bending your knees ect. good luck with that =]

How high do pet Chickens jump? Plus other info.?

Can chickens jump high (with the use of their wings of course)? How high of a fence would you need to make sure they never escape? Also are chickens smart? Should you keep just females or would a mix be better to keep them happier?|||Chickens can fly! (mostly short distances of course) So unless the tips of the wings have been clipped off at birth, (depending on the breed) they can probably fly any where from 3 to 9 feet high or so. But for many chickens a 4 - 5 foot fence will work, but research your breed.





My silkie bantam is only supposed to fly one foot high, but some how she manages to escape from a 3 foot high fence, She jump/flies as far as she can in the corner and climbs the rest of the way out. I gave up and now just let her roam free threw out the yard.
