Rope Cardio

We all know the importance of a good cardio workout. But we also know how boring the same exercises over and over again can be. And studies show that your body gets used to things you do repeatedly so the benefit eventually begins to dwindle.

Maybe it's time to replace those boring cardio workouts with some jump rope routines to kick your metabolism back into high gear. Jumping rope seems simple... and it is. After all, kids do it all the time! But when we get to be adults we feel we need to move on to less childish things and so some of the best exercises (like jumping rope) are shoved aside and forgotten about.

Well, things are starting to change. We've all seen professional athletes jumping rope with seeming ease. We may have even thought it was kind of a sissy thing for a macho man to do. Believe me, those athletes wouldn't waste their workout time on a "sissy" exercise if it didn't benefit them.

So what is it about jump rope workouts that cause big strong professional athletes to revert to what is so often thought of as child's play? Several things actually.

Jumping rope provides some vitally important things that athletes want to focus on. It will help to improve your coordination, agility and muscle endurance. It also helps to strengthen your entire body, giving most of the major muscle groups in both your upper and lower body a good workout.

It is easy to understand why so many at-home exercisers like the jump rope. It is, after all, probably the most inexpensive and portable piece of exercise equipment around. You can use it inside or outside... anywhere you have the room and regardless of what the weather is like. You can take it with you when you travel... whether for pleasure or for business.

And a proper jump rope routine can give you as much as triple the benefits of most other exercise programs. While it may take a few tries to get the hang of it, the calories and fat that are burned in a simple workout routine are well worth the effort.

Jumping rope is a unique alternative to cardio exercise. And best of all, you can start out slow and work your way into a regular and rewarding workout... one that will inexpensively and very effectively work all your upper and lower body major muscle groups. What more could you ask for?

So what are you waiting for? Aren't you ready for some exercise that will kickstart your metabolism and shape your body at the same time. Then come check out the tips and resources on jump rope workouts that you will find at http://Jump-Rope-Workouts.blogspot.com. Your body will thank you!

Cardio $32.99 Miguel Bos?'s first album of all-new material in five years, Cardio is an electro-rock collaboration with producer/songwriter Nicol s Sor n that results in a few highlights. It's not one of Bos?'s better full-length efforts, unfortunately, as he and Sor n have crafted an album far richer in style than substance. While there's no question that the electro-rock style of the album is thoroughly contemporary, it doesn't fit the 30-year-plus Latin pop veteran especially well and the songs generally aren't all that memorable. The sly pop instincts of Bos? are nonetheless in place throughout Cardio, so even if it's not one of his better albums, it's one fans will want to hear, in particular the highlights "Estuve a Punto de...," "Cardio," and "Ayurv?dico." After all, fans were eagerly awaiting Cardio, Bos?'s first album of all-new material since Velvetina (2005). During the five-year gap between albums, Bos? commemorated the 30th anniversary of his recording career with Papito (2008), on which he teamed up with an impressive guest list of Latin pop superstars to re-record his greatest hits in a contemporary style. Papito was a commercial blockbuster, and Bos? embarked on a triumphant concert tour in support of the album. Cardio inevitably feels anticlimactic in the wake of Papito, which had so much going for it in terms of greatest-hits material, superstar guest features, and so on. A fairer comparison to Cardio is Velvetina, which likewise found Bos? embracing contemporary trends in pop music in an attempt to come across as cutting edge in spite of his advanced age. Like Velvetina, Cardio is a mixed bag that falls short of masterworks like Bajo el Signo de Ca n (1993). The few aforementioned highlights are enjoyable enough, and others like "Dame Argumentos" and "La Verdad" are good if not great; moreover, the production work of Bos? and Sor n is often interesting, even if the songs fall flat. Still, after five years one expects more from Bos?, who used to release a new album every year or two, most of them excellent. ~ Jason Birchmeier
