1, exercise intensity
If you want to lose excess body fat, you must ensure the intensity and time of aerobic exercise. If the intensity is not enough and the time is too short, you can only achieve the goal of ensuring good health, but you can't lose weight. When doing aerobic exercise, the best heart rate to lose weight is above 150. If you can't reach this heart rate, the effect of exercise on losing weight will be minimal.
Skipping rope and running are equal in exercise intensity, but in order to lose weight, you must reach a heart rate suitable for weight loss. Only when the heart rate reaches a certain standard, and then stick to it, will there be a good weight loss effect.
2. Is it safe?
Running and skipping rope have their own advantages and disadvantages, especially in the safety factor. Running needs a certain runway, stable road conditions and a good sports environment. If you choose to run on a busy road for fun, the safety factor will be very low and accidents will easily occur.
Skipping rope has relatively less strict requirements for sports environment, and can be exercised anytime and anywhere, with high safety factor. But the effect on the body is different, especially on the knee joint. Because skipping rope is a vertical movement, it is harmful to the knee joint. If the joint condition is not good, you must not choose skipping rope. Compared with skipping rope, running has a slightly weaker effect on the knee, but it is not a good match for athletes with knee problems.
3. Can you persist?
We all know that if we want to lose weight successfully, we must be able to finish exercise persistently. Therefore, when we choose exercise methods, we must choose what we can persist in. Because skipping rope is a relatively stable exercise, although it can consume a certain amount of fat, it does not cost too much effort, and it is easy for people to persist for forty or fifty minutes. Although running can also lose weight, it will be affected by many factors. It will be relatively difficult to stick to it, and it will also make people very tired and difficult to stick to it. So skipping rope is more suitable for dieters than running in this respect.
