Jump into Spring Challenge
Jumping brings countless health benefits while also enhancing balance and coordination. Plus, this activity is great for any age! All you need to get involved with this challenge is a jump rope, but even if you do not own one or cannot buy one, you can still participate in this challenge.
You can either get creative and create your own rope using a clothesline, a bathrobe belt, or old shirts tied together, or use nothing at all. This challenge is to help improve cardio endurance mainly. Secondly, it should help improve balance, coordination, reflexes, and bone density.
