Skipping rope can not only reduce fat, but also exercise muscles, because many groups of muscles in the body need to work continuously when skipping rope. Skipping rope needs to exercise calf muscles, quadriceps femoris, thigh muscles, shoulders, back, arms and, of course, abdomen. Because when you jump and fall, your abdominal muscles must be kept tense to keep the upper body stable, and when you jump, you also need to accumulate strength through your waist and abdomen.

What abdominal muscles can you practice by skipping rope?

When skipping rope, your rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, oblique abdominis and oblique abdominis are all part of abdominal wall muscles. The rectus abdominis is the main part of the stomach, while the medial oblique muscle and lateral oblique muscle are located on the side of the stomach, while the transverse abdominal muscle is located in the stomach. These muscle groups can make the abdomen contract inward. If you breathe heavily when skipping rope, you can get more exercise for your transverse abdominal muscles.
