Skipping rope has always been favored in various weight-loss exercises. If you want to stay healthy, the fastest and easiest way is to jump rope. Jumping rope does have obvious effect on losing weight, especially on reducing excess fat in legs and buttocks. Besides skipping rope, running is also a good choice. Super jogging is an incredibly slow speed. Its speed is the same as walking, even slower, but its exercise intensity is stronger than walking, and its fat burning effect is better. So skipping rope and running are very good, and both have certain effects. The most important thing is to form a good habit, and persistence is the most important thing.

Skipping rope can fully exercise the lower limbs, and it can also involve the arms and shoulders. It is a movement that can coordinate the whole body. Research shows that if you keep the speed of 120- 140 times per minute, the effect of jumping for 5 minutes is equivalent to jogging for half an hour. Studies have confirmed that skipping rope can enhance the cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous system functions of exercisers, and can prevent diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, hypertension, muscle atrophy, insomnia and other diseases. For lactating and menopausal women, skipping rope also has a positive effect on relaxing emotions.

Jumping rope can really burn calories quickly and achieve the purpose of losing weight, but obese people are not suitable for skipping rope to lose weight. Because when they jump, their weight can easily put too much pressure on their leg joints, leading to sports injuries. People can judge whether they are suitable for skipping rope by their body mass index. Body mass index (BMI) = weight (kg)/ height (m) squared, and the normal value is between 20 and 25. Overweight over 25 years old, obese over 30 years old. If your body mass index is over 30, you'd better not choose skipping rope and use other milder methods instead.

Benefits of skipping rope and running: Exercise efficiency: Unless you are a sprinter, skipping rope is a time-saving exercise. It is found that skipping rope 10 minute has the same effect on cardiovascular health and calorie consumption as running for 30 minutes.

Probability of injury: Most sports have a certain risk of injury, which may be caused by fatigue or repeated impact. Skipping rope actually has less influence on joints than running, so the chance of injury is lower. Cardiovascular health: skipping rope and running are excellent aerobic exercises, which are very beneficial to cardiopulmonary health, and both of them help to enhance cardiovascular health.

Coordination and flexibility: Both of these exercises are helpful to the exercise of physical coordination and flexibility, but the effect of running is far less than that of skipping rope. Skipping rope and running complement each other. The combination of the two is helpful to establish a good aerobic exercise law. When choosing between skipping and running, you will benefit from the integration of the two sports.
