Intro: Jump rope is one of the most underrated tools in fitness. It’s portable, scalable, and brutally effective. In this challenge, you’ll perform 10 rounds of 100 jump rope skips, either for time or as part of a larger cardio circuit.

It’s a test of rhythm, conditioning, and focus — and a great way to rack up 1,000 total reps without boredom.
