Jumping rope is cheap, portable, and burns more calories than you might think Jumping rope is a great calorie-burner. You’d have to run an eight-minute mile to work off more calories than you’d burn jumping rope.
It strengthens the upper and lower body, but other considerations will determine if it’s appropriate for an individual.
Rope jumping will add spice to your routine workout. You’re putting direct stress on knees, ankles, and hips, but if done properly it’s a lower-impact activity than jogging.
For Beginners, who never used doing-jumping ropes, start jumping without ropes. Just start with 30 reps 10 sets. That makes 300 jumps. Take 40sec gap between each set. Gradually increase your counts. Once you feel lighter then its time to switch to ropes. Wear an Abdominal belt while working out as it gives support to your back and also helps to shape up your waistline.
A clean diet + 30mins of jogging/running + 15mins jumping ropes can burn approximately 900 cals.
Wear properly fitted athletic shoes, preferably cross-training shoes. Consult physician if required.
