Skipping is one of the cheapest, most effective, fat burning workouts you can do.

And it's fun too.

So what's stopping you?

2. One hour of rope skipping will burn up to 1,300 calories.

3. According to the British Rope Skipping Association, 10 minutes of skipping can have the same health benefits as a 45-minute run.

4. Skipping is a full body workout which uses your abdominals to stabilise the body, legs for jumping, shoulders and arms for turning the rope.

5. Skipping is less jolting on your joints than running.

6. Once you've bought your rope, skipping is a zero-cost workout.

7. Skipping helps to improve heart rate and blood pressure.

8. It's a good workout for all fitness levels as you can do it at a pace that suits you.

9. Skipping regularly improves flexibility.

10. It also aids your coordination and balance.

11. A regular skipping session improves muscle tone in both the lower and upper body.

12. Skipping is a weightbearing exercise so can help in improving bone density, thus helping stave off osteoporosis.

Most of the runners and other athletes jump rope for training.

14. Relieves tension and stress.

15. Its easy, cheap($10), affordable, portable and can be done anywhere at anytime.

I've never liked skipping... It's hard on my head (surprisingly) and the rope always gets in my way. Any suggestions?? I'm cool with most other forms of cardio and ST

Never heard anyone admitting to this one.

Exercise and me.....x and y.....unlike terms. I have tried to look at it from an almost positive perspective, NO. I guess I have to make it a new year's resolution or a dash. Explorers, you're killing me.

I have managed to buy the rope and a 4th hand treadmill. I dont know if I will be using the wheel but here it is.

They've been resting here a week now, simply because I am busy gathering energy and courage to start the journey. Let me go and pray

Lol.....4th hand.

But is working?

You should start now.

I dont have access to that treadmill, i only skip.

I skip 600 - 1000 daily.

Explorers:


Lol.....4th hand.

But is working?

You shuold start now.

When I say its 4th hand, I am simply trying to make an atleast reasonable prediction. My cousin never buys new anything, not even furniture because he is "the Lord of handwork"......according to him. He revamps everything to new again and...... I bought it from him. So......this could be older than 4th

I am still fasting for the journey . When I finally get the sign......


600 -1000 ......why are you killing my vibe

I hope it helps in burning belly fat sha.

As you are reading this, change into workout clothes and skip for 20 minutes. Legs straight. Jump with both legs at a time

Let me know when you are done

When do I do this, before or after I am dead?

Collapsed after 5 minutes and that 5 munites the skips where done in many intervals, mind you. My quadriceps and calf are burning, my arms are loose, like they're about to disconnect. The toes are not bad (I wasn't placing the foot but the toes), I guess they were born for this.

Can I die now?

Good, repeat every day. Eventually you will get used to it and be able to skip for a longer time period
