First, the jumping method

One-legged jump: Jump with only your left foot or right foot at a time.

Jump with both feet: Jump with both feet at the same time.

Second, the exercise effect

One-legged jump: the exercise is stronger than two-legged jump, so the weight loss effect is slightly stronger.

Bipedal jumping: the exercise intensity is small, and the weight loss effect is not as good as one-legged jumping.

But the left and right feet jump alternately the strongest and lose weight the best.

Precautions for skipping rope

1. The length of skipping rope should be appropriate.

Don't jump rope too long, just hold the rope with both hands and keep it below your shoulders.

2. Don't touch the ground with all your feet

When skipping rope, you should use the forefoot to take off and land, which can relieve the impulse and reduce the damage to soft tissue and the vibration and damage to ankle bones. Remember not to touch the ground with the whole sole or foot, which will have an impact on the brain.

3. Don't jump rope on the concrete floor

Because skipping rope is an intense sport, it is best not to skip rope directly on the concrete floor. You can choose lawns, wooden floors and clay floors with moderate hardness, or you can spread blankets or plastics on cement floors to reduce the impact on joints and brains.

If your body is heavy, you should move your feet up and down.

If you are heavy, be careful when skipping rope. First of all, don't jump on one foot, or your whole body weight will be pressed on one foot, which will easily damage your knees and ankles. Try to choose a way to land your feet at the same time or run. Secondly, the skipping time should not be too long, and you should have a rest after 2-3 minutes.

5. Overweight is not suitable for skipping rope

Obese people are not suitable for skipping rope to lose weight, because when jumping, weight can easily cause excessive pressure on leg joints, leading to sports injuries. You can judge whether you are suitable for skipping rope by your body mass index.

If your body mass index exceeds 30, you'd better not choose skipping exercise, and you can use other moderate weight loss methods instead.
