JUMP ROPE DRILLS!
This is a VERY INTENSE 10 minute cardio HIIT home workout that exclusively uses jump rope.
Equipment Required:
- Shock-absorbing surface, such as interlocking floor mats.
- A Dr. Sara Solomon Cross Speed Jump Rope by Buddy Lee Jump Ropes. It’s portable and inexpensive. I always travel with mine!
- I like to drink BCAAs. Click here to read why.

Keep this circuit mega-INTENSE; otherwise, you are not going to benefit from metabolism-boosting effects of HIIT. Maximize fat-burning by doing this workout fasted as soon as you wake up … and stay fasted for at least 2 hours after the workout (you can drink your BCAAs).
This circuit consists of 12 Jump rope exercises. Set your timers for 20 seconds of work and 5 seconds of rest. If you are a beginner, then stick to the bounce step for the entire workout. Once you have mastered this, then try the other moves.
Each circuit is 5 minutes.
- Bounce Step
- High Step
- Bounce Step/High Step Combo
- Alternate Foot Step
- Side Straddle
- Travelling Alternate Foot Step/Side Straddle Combo
- Bounce Step 360 (clockwise)

- Forward Straddle
- Skier's Jump
- Travelling Skier's Jump
Do the workout with me! Just click on the video and GO!
Make sure you stretch and foam roll after the workout (especially your calf muscles). I used my Beastie Bar and Stand in today's video, and strongly recommend it, as well as the Rumble Roller. Watch my video to learn how to use the Rumble Roller.

Just found you by accident and glad I did, you are funny and informative and I like your videos of the jumping exercises. I am going to try your recipes as well. I am a fan of yours now . I also like your story and how you started out.

A friend turned me on to your website about 10 weeks ago. I do your workouts fasted first thing in the morning 5-6 days a week. I can’t believe the difference in such a short period of time!! Looking great and getting fit for bikini season!! Thanks Dr. Sara!!
