Geriatric Buttocks Exercises with Skipping Rope

Gluteal Muscles (Glutes) are one of the strongest muscles in the body and are the connecting point between your legs and back muscles. Glutes are used in a variety of actions from moving the leg to extending and rotating the hip, as well as extending and rotating the trunk of the body. Strong glutes will also define and shape your buttocks.

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.
