Rope skipping (Jumping Rope)
Benefits
Jumping rope can burn up to 1000 calories per hour, making it one of the most efficient workouts possible. It tones muscles in the entire body, developing long, lean muscles in all major muscle groups, both upper and lower. Jumping rope optimizes cardiovascular conditioning and maximizes athletic skills by combining agility, coordination, timing, and endurance.
Jumping rope compared to other forms of exercise
Rope jumping is one of the most efficient ways to develop cardiovascular fitness because it is a total body movement. In fact, 10 minutes of jumping at 120 RPM provides the same cardiovascular benefits as 30 minutes of jogging.
Jumping rope for 10 minutes at 120 RPM produces the same cardiovascular fitness as the following activities:
Activity / Time
Cycling 2 miles in 6 minutes
Handball 20 minutes
Jogging 30 minutes at a moderate pace
Running 1 mile in 12 minutes
Swimming 720 yards in 12 minutes
Tennis 2 sets
These numbers above are with a 120 rpm, I myself always get 160/165 rpm so the burned calories are more. Try it on a comfortable pace that you can hold out long enough, and keep that steady pace.
I do it barefoot, because I feel more comfortable jumping that way. I’m also one of like 4 procent in the Netherlands that has extra flexible muscles (double jointed), so I don’t have to stretch long like the others and these things are going pretty easy. But I really recommend you all too stretch really long first and to use running shoes, because you will feel the soreness after jump roping in your whole body (it trains every little muscle in your body) especially the calves and the abs to keep the balance while jumping.
Learn the good technique first and after that then jump regurlarly otherwise you will have quick injuries. It’s really fun and the fastest way to burn fat and to gain muscles at the same time. And never forget to eat, the greatest misconception is eating less to lose weight. You want to live long, not to die young right? I have also included an video above of Lyen Wong who does it how I reccommend it to you all, it looks easy at first but if you’re starting to jump it feels a lot harder than you first thought :P Try it the classic way, jumping with 2 feet at once, if that works then do the extra’s. (with one foot etcetera)Good luck! Keep it healthy not unhealthy.
