Beginner Geriatric Chest Exercises with Skipping Rope

Strengthening the chest muscles will help you push things easily and effortlessly. The muscles in your chest help stabilize your shoulder joint, which reduces your vulnerability shoulder joint injuries. Working your chest muscles also has an aesthetic factor (body contouring).

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.
