Overweight people should not jump rope. Jumping rope can really make calories disappear faster, and then make your body thinner. But people who are too heavy are not suitable for skipping rope to lose weight. Because the movement of this sport and the athlete's own weight can easily put more pressure on the joints of the legs, thus hurting the legs.

Skipping rope has a long history. When Nu Wa "leads the rope in the mud and holds it by people", the rope will live with people. The ancients used ropes to keep records, and also tied harvested crops with ropes, or tied cattle and horses, tied prey and so on. Rope has become an important tool in human life. Therefore, skipping may have originated from primitive farming, hunting or military activities.
The 18th time in Jin Ping Mei, a novel of Ming Dynasty, the names "vault rope" and "jump hundred ropes" were used, both referring to skipping rope. But the "vault rope" gives us an inspiration to explore the origin of skipping rope, that is, the "vault rope" used in ancient wars.
Maybe the ancients were inspired by military activities. In the military training of tripping and avoiding tripping, they changed riding to single skipping, which gradually evolved and eventually became various skipping activities.
