Jumping rope will help in training for boxing because it helps increase endurance, coordination, agility and footwork. You desperately need to endure every round, and you need coordination, agility and footwork when you are in the ring with a tough opponent.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1
Find your rhythm. Stand with the jump rope in both hands, and swing it from one side of your body to the other to find your beginning rhythm.
Step2
Jump rope when training for boxing by alternating from one foot to the other. It should not be exactly like running in place, but this general rhythm will help to get your heart rate up and give you the benefits of running.
Step3
Speed up your rhythm once you have established a good pace. Training for boxing requires that your pace is adaptable, and jumping rope at varying rhythms will help you prepare.
Step4
Jog back and forth while jumping rope. Keep your rhythm steady while moving slowly forward and back. You can sprint and then jog to help keep your rhythm changing.
Step5
Put your boxing training in high gear. Try variations, such as the double under. This requires your arms to move the rope under your feet with each jump. Working your legs and arms, at double speed, will get your heart racing.
Step6
Cross the jump rope in front of you. As you continue jumping, criss cross the rope in front of your body while training. This is another variation that can help you combat boredom.
