Over the years, my jump rope training has evolved from learning jump rope tricks with a beaded rope to focusing on the fundamentals with a high-quality weighted rope from Crossrope. 

Jump rope is my favorite type of cardio training because it burns many calories, strengthens coordination and bone density, and can reduce your risk of injuries and heart disease. 

I have had Hashimoto’s disease, an autoimmune disorder, since I was 33. Hashimoto’s disease can cause depression, fatigue, or weight gain, so daily movement is significant for my mental and physical health. Jump rope has helped me maintain a healthy weight and mind so far, and I plan to continue using this for many years to come.
