Simulated skipping can achieve the effect of losing weight, but compared with skipping, it is still not as good as skipping. Because when we jump rope, the whole body fat can be consumed, while the simulated skipping rope only consumes our own fat through some actions, which is not enough to dissipate heat. So I don't recommend using simulated skipping to lose weight. In contrast, I recommend doing push-ups to lose weight. Although the effect is not obvious, it will change a lot if you persist for a long time.
