Beyond that, jumping rope can provide a host of serious athletic benefits, from coordination to explosive power to agility. And yet another big perk: It’s just plain fun.
Perhaps it’s no surprise then that jumping rope seems to be rising in popularity. Kollins Ezekh, a certified personal trainer and director of programming at Mayweather Fit Atlanta, tells SELF he’s definitely seen more clients express interest in jumping rope recently.
