I was reading through my REAL SIMPLE Magazine and I came across this great workout (only requiring a jump rope). Since I just ordered my weighted jump rope last week I look forward to giving this a try, figured I'd share it with you.
Enjoy!

15-Minute Jump-Rope Workout
Hop to it! This old-school recess favorite has great fitness benefits for grown-ups. Jumping rope is an effective cardio exercise that works your arms, legs, and core, helps strengthen your bones, and improves balance. Try this routine, designed by Virginia-based jump-rope expert Buddy Lee (buddyleejumpropes.com). Begin each move standing with your knees slightly bent, holding the rope at about hip height, with your palms facing your body. With each jump, push evenly off the balls of your feet, keeping your knees soft and your torso upright. Resist the urge to bounce between jumps.
A note on ropes: If you’re a beginner, grab a heavy PVC rope (available at most sporting-goods stores; test the weight by hand). Its weightiness will make you jump more slowly. As you advance, switch to a lighter PVC version, which will let you jump faster, increasing intensity.

You're right, it's all in losing that fat. You could have great abs but you won't be able to see them if they are covered by fat.
ReplyDeleteWear proper basketball training shoes. Although this sounds obvious, it's amazing as to how many people I see who still wear badly fitting, badly worn and non-basketball shoes. Shoes are known to not just assist players to perform well but can also add up to the esteem and confidence level of the player.this trick can also helpful to jump higher.
