Unstable Jump Rope

Feb.
I was reading the Lebron James work out schedule at WebMD and saw that on one of the days he integrates “Unstable Jump Rope” into the routine.
Skip rope for 45 seconds on a cushiony surface, such as a stretching mat. The instability will help strengthen your ankles.
During my boxing training I’ve been jumping rope every day as part of my effort to increase stamina, get a cardio work out, and increase my leg strength. Playing other sports, mostly football and basketball, have left me with a weak left ankle from being rolled too many times.
This variation of jumping rope may help me rebuild strength in my weak ankle. I’m going to give it a shot…I’ll post the results.
