WHAT’S PUNK ROPE?

Punk Rope is a blend of recess and boot camp for people of all ages, sizes, shapes, and fitness levels.

Playful themes, story-driven calisthenics, fitness games, rope jumping, and raise-the-roof music bring out the kid in all of us, even in kids.

To see Punk Rope in action, check out this video as well as the other clips in the Videos section of this site.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH & FITNESS BENEFITS OF PUNK ROPE?
Punk Ropers experience a wide range of benefits including improved:
body composition • bone density • strength • aerobic capacity
anaerobic capacity • coordination • agility • balance

HOW MANY CALORIES WILL I BURN DOING PUNK ROPE?
Caloric expenditure depends on many factors including the exerciser’s weight, fitness level, work rate, and choice of exercise so beware of vague and outrageous claims.

A 150-pound person jumping rope at 145 revolutions per minute—which is a moderate pace—will burn approximately 13 calories per minute or roughly the same as they would burn running at an 8-minute-per-mile pace.
