As a devoted Jump Roper, I knew and experienced the benefits of jumping rope from improving cardiovascular and pulmonary health to helping with circulation. The combination of the jump rope and running help me overcome asthma. The body has a miraculous ability to heal itself given a chance.

I learned recently that the Calves are know as the second heart due due to the ability to pump blood from the lower part of the legs back to the heart. The stronger the calves the better your blood flow and the more efficient your heart Anything you can do to help your heart will naturally improve your health.
Be sure to stretch you calve muscles along with your achilles tendons. A little jump rope can go a long way to improving your overall health, a not only does it benefit you primary heart but your secondary heart also.
