Booklist Review

In this introduction to jump roping, physician Solis makes a strong case for incorporating what he calls the "ropics program" into a well rounded fitness routine. He sells the reader on the versatility, adaptability, and health benefits of jump roping before introducing the workout regimen, which consists of a warm-up, stretching, aerobic, and cool-down phase. Jump roping techniques and specific movements, including the forearm wrap, matador whirl, heel touch, and crossed step-through, are clearly explained. While it is doubtful that jump roping will replace jogging, bicycling, and stair-climbing machines as popular aerobic activities, exercisers looking for a different cardiovascular program may be attracted to this basic, no-frills introduction to the "ropics program." ~--Sue-Ellen Beauregard
