Boot Camp 8- Jump rope calf burner






Today is the day after the workout and my calves are so sore and tight. I normally don't do many jump rope workouts, so this was a nice way to change it up.  Did you know that jumping rope for 5 minutes straight is actually equivalent to running a mile? Anything that can give me the same benefit without actually running I am all over!





What you will need:
Jump Rope
Exercise Ball
Dyno Ball or medicine ball




The Workout:

1) JUMP ROPE SERIES:
       30 seconds each

  • Double foot 
  • Single foot
  • Single high knee
  • Boxer shuffle (both feet jump side to side)
2) STATION WORK
        2x at each station for 45 seconds with a 15 second break in between
  • Squat throw burpee- Take the dyno ball do a squat throw into the air as high as you can. Let the ball drop and then do a burpee on the ball.
  • Ab ball straight leg sit up- Lay your legs straight on the exercise ball and do a sit up while your legs are straight on the ball.
  • Plyo pushups- Do a regular pushup but when you are going up you explode your hands off of the ground.
3) JUMP ROPE SERIES
    same series as #1 except its 40 seconds long

4) STATION WORK
     2x at each station for 45 seconds with a 15 second break in between
  • Overhead plyo split squats- Have the dyno ball over your head. While doing that do jumping split squats.

  • Ab ball exchange- (see video)

  • Moving pushup- Regular push up and move laterally across the room while doing pushups.



I hope you guys enjoy. Let me know what you think!!!
