Day 21- 1 Mile Sprint Interval & Feelin'Skippy!

Got adventurous on my work-out today at home.

Jump Rope Baby! Boom! This is an AMAZING cardio work-out!

I actually am going to start implementing this into my daily work-outs :)

When I google all about skipping rope I have learned that this is just as much if not more of a calorie burner than running a 10min pace. That Jumping rope for ten minutes is like doing a 30min jog! That you burn .75 x (your body weight )x (minutes you'll skip rope) so If I skip rope at about 80 jumps per minute then I will burn : .75 x 162 x 30min = 360 Calories

This is an amazing cardio work-out but it takes time and patience to really get strong at (not cardio wise for me cause I'm strong as an ox in that dept!!) but in terms of keeping the calves happy! This will challenge every muscle in the lower leg! So I must be careful :)

Ok Here's my 20min routine at home followed by a One Mile Speed Drill

Jumping Jacks

Burpees

cardio kick

cardio punchs

15 push ups

2 (1 min) planks
