    Jump Roping?

    Whats some good sets/reps/time or whatever plans to jumprope for cardio? Its pretty hard to go for minutes straight, so is there like HIIT stuff you can do for jumproping? Also, i dont wanna start and argument, but which is better cardio in the morning or night? Also is it cool to eat something like a bagel or some fruit in the morning then not eat lunch then eat at home? Cuz school food is expensive and nasty, if i need to i can bring chicken salad sandwiches or tuna salad sandwhiches and shiot.

    Why not do it DURING you workout? Try doing 2 minutes of jumping after leg sets and 3 mins after any other set. I've seen this done in workout plans before.

    windly you speak of circuit training.. its effective but also not the easiest thing to fit in your schedule. Some people like to keep things simple, and keep from looking like a crazy man in the gym.

    I suggest cardio before you leave for work with a little pre-workout snack.. for me i work during the day, so i do cardio in the morning. Im just too exhausted to do cardio after a working day. i feel fine and awake during work so its not a problem. But that aside, you can do cardio whenever you have the time.. anytime.

    HIIT routine:
    1 minute real fast
    15 seconds high knee jumping
    1 minute active rest



    Try alternating that for about 11 minutes youll be sucking some wind boy

    Yep, that's what I'm talking about, circuit training (had a brain fart).

    As for looking crazy in the gym, I could give a rats ass. There's so many people in my workout room at my apt that don't know what the hell they are doing it almost makes me want to laugh at them. Seriously, coming in the gym in jeans or khakis and a belt, and wandering from machine to machine doing a few reps of some random weight...cmon, who's the crazy one here...

    I get what you're saying though

    crunches
    so on and so on
