Obliques Exercises with Skipping Rope

Many people put a lot of focus on working their abs but forget their surrounding neighbors; the oblique muscles. Obliques serve as stabilizers, and are used in almost every physical activity. Exercising your obliques should be a very important part of your workout program. The exercises below will help you work your oblique muscles.

Skipping rope is a low impact, aerobic exercise. In contrast to running, jumping rope is unlikely to lead to knee damage since the impact of each jump or step is absorbed by the balls of both feet rather than the heels which greatly decreases the ground reaction forces through the patella-femoral joint. Skipping rope also helps strengthen the arms and shoulders. This combination of an aerobic workout and coordination-building footwork has made jumping rope a very popular form of exercise. This exercise is appropriate for all ages and fitness levels.
