Get fit with just 10 minutes and a $10 jump rope. This week staff writer Jon Anderson tells you jumping rope isn't just for little kids anymore:
If you're like Buddy Lee, you grew up thinking jumping rope was for schoolyard play, not hard-core workouts. "Honestly, I thought it was a little-girl thing," Lee says.
But that was before he met a fifth-degree black belt who changed his life forever. The martial arts instructor showed him a few rope techniques that Lee, a former Marine, credits with providing the core strength, speed and agility to go on and become a champion wrestler and two-time Olympian.
Now a conditioning coach who works with everyone from up-and-coming Olympic athletes to octagon fighters to the CrossFit faithful, Lee has become a full-time rope-jumping evangelist.
