Getting fit the fun way has never been so easy!
Jumping clinic
Who didn't do it as a child? Suddenly you hear and see it everywhere:jumping rope. In other words, rope skipping or single rope jumping as it is now called. You don't have to go back to the schoolyard, but you can now attend a professional jumping clinic. With two ropes against each other? Today that is called Double Dutch.
Burn calories
Actually, it's not that strange, because this form of movement is an excellent way to work on strength, speed and explosiveness. In particular, the Achilles tendons, calves, ankle and foot muscles are put to work. With 10 minutes of jumping (120 skips per minute), a 75 kg man consumes about 130 calories. The faster you jump, the higher this energy consumption.
Jump rope gift
Of course, commerce is cleverly responding to this. In this case Danone's Actimel brand:they brought the American dancer and top choreographer Dan Karaty to our country for a jumping clinic in Amsterdam's Vondelpark. Karaty, best known in the Netherlands as a jury member of The Ultimate Dance Battle and So You Think You Can Dance, wants to inspire as many people as possible together with Actimel to do something good for themselves every day. That's why you will receive a skipping rope as a gift in the coming weeks when you buy a promotional package.
