“Jump ropes are an incredible tool to burn calories, improve cardiovascular health, and sharpen your hand-eye-foot coordination. They are portable and very cost-effective, making them an essential tool for an at-home workout,” says Rhys Athayde, the founding trainer of New York City’s supermodel-favoritegym, who now offers daily Instagram Live workouts. “My favorite jump ropes are from Rush Athletics because of the weight distribution between the handles and rope.
If you mess up in the first minute of work, start back again from the top!”Another favorite of Athayde’s? The Ab Wheel. “It’s a simple but deadly exercise tool that is both cost-effective and space-efficient,” he adds. “Ab Wheel Rollouts are extremely difficult and should only be done with proper form. If not, there are several regressions you can do to work up to this exercise. Not only does this exercise work the abs, but it also targets the back, shoulders, and arms.
