Jump Rope - Medicine for Bones & Joints

According to the National Institutes for Health, the best form of exercise to improve bone strength and bone mass density is a weight-bearing one such as skipping rope as it forces your body to work against gravity.

• Jump rope benefits after 3 months include increased forearm bone density of participants by 18.9%.
• The heel bone density has increased by 5.8% after 10 weeks of jump rope workouts.
• Based on extensive studies, bone density gains from 24 weeks of jump rope training can be sustained by doing just 11-18% of the initial exercise.
