Research shows that jumping 140 times per minute for 5 minutes is equivalent to running for 30 minutes. Skipping rope is not easy to hurt your knees and will not cause too much burden on your ankles because of its short time.
Skipping rope can also exercise the heart and lungs, improve physical fitness, improve physical coordination, relieve sedentary backache and avoid muscle loss. It is an efficient aerobic interval exercise.
Since skipping rope has so many advantages, isn't it flawed?
Of course, the intensity of skipping rope is relatively large, and novices usually gasp for breath after jumping for a few minutes, so it is difficult to persist.
Therefore, people with a body fat rate of more than 30% are easily injured because of their large weight base, so this kind of strenuous exercise is not recommended. It is suggested to start with brisk walking, gradually improve physical fitness, and then choose skipping to lose weight.
For beginners to jump rope to lose weight, the general advice is:
Every time 1 min is a group, every day 10 group, and the interval between groups is 1-2 minutes. 1-2 weeks later, it can be increased to a group of 2 minutes.
Generally, if you persist for 8 weeks, the body fat rate will drop by about 5%- 10%!
In addition, heart disease, high blood pressure and the elderly should also be cautious. Skipping rope is not recommended.
