Jumping rope is a great way to stay fit and healthy, but is just ONE aspect of training to get a better vertical leap, and to be healthier. I believe most of the work can be done in your own home, with Plyometric Workouts and Bodyweight Workouts. There are a couple of good systems reviewed at: http://improve-your-vertical-leap.com/plyometric-workouts/ and http://getting-rid-of-abdominal-fat.com/workouts-without-weights/ Check them out - they can't hurt!
