Steady your nervous system with breathing you can do anywhere.

Jump Rope

Skip rope for fitness and tricks, a cheap, portable cardio workout with a deep skill side.

Before you commit

Breathwork

  • Sitting still counting exhales while nothing seems to happen would bore you.
  • You'd quit before the payoff that only shows up after weeks of practice.
  • Feeling faintly ridiculous in early sessions would make you stop.

Jump Rope

  • The rhythm and tricks take practice (mind your shins).
  • High-impact, so a forgiving surface helps your joints.
  • Cheap ropes tangle, so a decent rope makes a big difference.
