the cheapest cardio that humbles grown athletes in under sixty seconds.
means A length of cord or light rope swung over the head and under the feet in a repeated arc, jumped over for play or exercise.
from A transparent compound of "jump" and "rope." "Jump" surfaced in English in the 16th century, possibly echoing the very sound of a sudden bound — an imitative word. "Rope" runs much deeper, from Old English "rap," a cousin of words across the Germanic family for cord and cable. The activity of skipping over a swung rope is old, but the snug term "jumprope" is comparatively recent and chiefly American; the British more often say "skipping rope," naming the hop rather than the leap.
