Looking for an inexpensive and effective way to get fit? Look no further.

You may not have picked up a jump rope since your days on the school yard, but it's back with a vengance. And why not? It's simple, and it really works. According to Fitsugar, here are five reasons you should jump rope:

• It's cheap. A jump rope shouldn't run you more than $15.
• It can be done anywhere.
• It helps you gain strength.
• It helps you burn fat.
• And finally, it helps improve coordination.
  

So I just have one question: How can you go wrong?
