Thread: do you use jump roping as apart of your conditioning or as apart of your plyo workout

i havent touched a jump rope since elementary o__O but go ahead and add it to your conditioning..matter of fact play double dutch with the neighborhood kids lol

im not sure whether to include that with my plyos or my conditioning day.

you can do it for conditioning if you can maintain a steady pace for a while. I cant jump rope for crap so I wouldnt even think about it for conditioning/cardio work for myself.

Jumping rope is a great conditioning tool. There is a reason boxers skip rope. I like to use it as a station in a circuit. For example, last week I did: 4 rounds: 100 rope turns 1/4 mile sprint 10 burpees 60 seconds rest To be effective as a conditioning tool, you do first need to build some basic competency so you rarely get tangled up or step on the rope and stop. If you a very heavy, you may not want to do too much. I have heard heavier...

Mix plyo with conditioning. I would do 5 5 min rounds focusing on pulling endurance, pushing, strength and cardio endurance and last round mixing things up. all rounds consist of 5 stations pretty much like caveman training. See Sean Sherk's training, Wnaderlei or brock lesner. So basically im mixing everything up hence its called MMA. I hate doing cardio (conditioning) on its own. THATS my opinion, do what you like.

Aren't plyo workouts apart of conditioning?

Figure out what your trying to develope. If jumprope fits in, then use it, or both if it fits in criteria for both
