4 minute Jump Rope Tabata Workout For Weight Loss:
Here’s how the jump rope tabata workout is structured:
Total time:
4 minutes.
Type of workout:
- 20 seconds of high intensity work (as many reps as possible with good form)
- 10 seconds rest
The key is to give maximum effort during the 20 second high intensity interval.
After the 20 second high intensity interval, take a 10 second rest, then complete another 20 second high intensity interval, etc.
When you’re ready, press the start button on your interval timer, and lets start this 4 minute jump rope tabata workout for weight loss.
The 10 seconds rest periods go by quick, so once you hear the beeper, it’s time to get moving again.
Number of circuits:
2 circuits.
Exercises:
Click the links below for a step-by-step exercise demonstration of each exercise.
A1. Alternate Foot Step Jump Rope
Reps: 20 seconds
Rest: 10 seconds
Coaching cues: this is a pretty standard jump rope exercise. Simply alternate your feet as you skip from one foot to the other.
A2. High Knees Jump Rope
Reps: 20 seconds
Rest: 10 seconds
Coaching cues: alternate bringing your knees up high as the jump rope passes under your feet. Focus on going as fast as you can go. This is probably the most challenging jump rope exercise in this jump rope workout, as it’ll quickly elevate your heart rate.
A3. Left Foot Jump Rope
Reps: 20 seconds
Rest: 10 seconds
Coaching cues: Jump rope with your left leg as you keep the opposite leg in the air. Single leg jump rope exercises place even more tension on the calf muscles and improves your balance. Complete the full 20 second interval on your left leg.
A4. Right Foot Jump Rope
Reps: 20 seconds
Rest: 10 seconds
Coaching cues: Switch legs and jump rope with your right leg as you keep your left leg in the air. Again, your calves should be burning during this exercise as you land and jump again, staying up on your toes.

After completing the first circuit, rest 10 seconds, then complete exercises A1-A4 again, for a total of 2 circuits and 8 sets.
Aim to increase your jump rope speed during the second circuit.
When you start to feel fatigued, visualize the finish line, and keep moving!
Remember, tabata workouts only take 4 minutes to complete, and then you’re done for the day.

HI,This is a nice workout, thanks for sharing.
This is a nice workout, thanks for sharing. 20 second sets does seem very short though.
I hope it’s just because you’re doing thisvideo that you waste 5sec of your 20” workout-part for “getting back in” ^^
Good idea anyhow, “regular” skips for one tabataset is a bit lame, I think…
I’ve got one for you Brad; Burlesque Bootcamp!
I went to my first class last week and learned a few new moves!
Burlesque bootcamp?!? I’d have to see a video to even begin to understand what all that’s about 😉
Aww man, jump roping is BRUTAL!!!! I’ll have to give this one a try… when I’m alone and no one can see 🙂
BRUTAL…but in an awesome way! I want to see do a video of this workout! I’ll tell you what…you give me a video idea that takes me out of my comfort zone and I’ll do it if you do this jump rope routine on video. Deal?
