The Benefits of Skipping on Saturdays
Starting your Saturday with a high-intensity skip rope session not only sets the tone for the weekend but also boosts your endurance, agility, and coordination.
Skipping rope is a full-body workout that targets your core, legs, and shoulders while also improving your cardiovascular fitness. It’s a great way to build mental toughness, sharpen your focus, and prepare for whatever challenges lie ahead.
