On September 16th, the sound of celebration echoes throughout Mexico, from the streets of Mexico City to the smallest villages in the mountains. It's Día de la Independencia, a day of pride, power, and freedom! At Fight Rope Fitness, we’re honoring Mexico’s rich heritage and fighting spirit the only way we know how: with an explosive jump rope routine that ignites the body and fuels the soul.
The Heart of a Warrior, The Pride of a Nation
Mexico’s struggle for independence wasn't just a fight for freedom. It was a fight for identity, honor, and the future of a people. Today, that same spirit fuels every rep, every jump, and every drop of sweat. As we honor heroes like Miguel Hidalgo, José María Morelos, and the countless fighters who sacrificed everything for a better tomorrow, let’s channel that energy into a workout that symbolizes resilience and strength.
Mexican Independence Day Power Routine

Whether you’re a seasoned jumper or just starting out, this Mexican Independence Day workout is designed to make you feel like a true guerreo—a warrior in every sense.
1. The Hidalgo High Knees (3 minutes)
Just as Hidalgo rallied the people with his call for rebellion, kick off the workout by rallying your body with high-intensity high knees.
- How to do it: Keep your posture tall, drive your knees towards your chest with each jump, and swing the rope with controlled intensity.
- Why it works: Engages your core, legs, and cardio—perfect for setting the tone of the workout.
2. Morelos Muscle Burners (4 rounds)
Like Morelos, who led Mexico with unstoppable determination, we’re diving into strength with this endurance-builder.
- Combo Set: 30 seconds double-unders, followed by 30 seconds burpees (repeat 4 times).
- Why it works: This killer combo pushes your legs, arms, and shoulders while testing your stamina—just like the warriors who marched for freedom.
3. Las Adelitas Speed Skips (2 minutes x 3)
Named after the brave women who fought alongside men in the revolution, this drill celebrates Adelitas with fast feet and faster skips.
- How to do it: Jump with quick, small hops, focusing on speed while maintaining control of the rope.
- Why it works: Increases agility and coordination while torching calories. It’s about precision and rhythm—just like our Adelitas.
4. The Revolution Roundhouse (5 minutes)
Time to power through the finish! A knockout 5-minute, non-stop jump rope session.
- How to do it: Alternate between cross-overs, side swings, and single-leg jumps every 60 seconds.
- Why it works: This final set mimics the battles for independence, with bursts of energy and intensity needed to finish strong.
Break Free from Limits
As we celebrate Mexico's independence, let this workout be a reminder of your own potential. In fitness, like in life, it’s not about the fight—it’s about how you rise after every battle. The struggles, the sweat, and the effort all lead to greatness.
Fuel for the Fight
After an intense workout like this, recovery is key! Stay hydrated, replenish with nutrient-dense meals (think: lean proteins, avocados, beans, whole grains, and lots of greens), and stretch to maintain that mobility. Treat your body like the machine it is—strong, resilient, and unbreakable!
