Jump Rope HIIT Workout





Do you want to push your cardio workout? Skip on the weights this day as this is one of the most efficient pieces of equipment you probably got laying around.

A jump rope just isn't a kids toy, it's a great workout for adults! It's okay if you haven't used it since you were a kid, you'll get the hang of it again!

Studies show that just doing jump rope for 10 minutes a day it is comparable to 30 minutes of jogging.

Keep it to the basics to start jump rope for 10 minutes on both feet, if you need a break try and make it in 2 minute intervals with a 30 second break between each set. Then workup to the full 10 minutes. Once you can do 10 minutes on both feet start practicing on one foot, go as long as you can. Keep practicing the one foot.

Then work on your other foot, again as long as you can. Once you can do both feet and each individual foot put it into a workout. Skip on both feet for 10 skips, then your left for 10, then your right for 10. Then go back to both feet for 9, then your left for 9 and your right for 9 and keep going from both to each separate foot until you have dropped your reps down to zero.

Apple Ginger Fizz for Fall

  The kids deserve a special drink for the fall besides apple cider. This is a great fall mocktail with a beautiful flavor combination. Not just for the kiddos. This makes 1 drink What  you'll need: 3 oz still apple cider 1 oz freshly squeezed lime juice 6 mint leaves 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Pinch powdered cinnamon 3 oz ginger ale Create: Place apple cider, lime juice, cinnamon, apple cider vinegar and a few ice cubes into a cocktail shaker. If you don't have a shaker, anything with a tight lid will work, such as a mason jar or drink bottle. Clap the mint together in your hands to release the scent, and add to the shaker. Shake for about 20-30 seconds until ingredients are combined. Pour into an ice filled glass and top with ginger ale. Stir gently, garnish with mint, dried citrus or a cinnamon stick, and serve.
