Do you like skipping rope? Skipping rope is a recreational sport, usually suitable for single, or many people to exercise together, can help improve our physical quality, improve our amount of exercise, physical and mental exercise. Skipping, as a fat burning exercise, is also loved by the majority of dieters, and its fat burning effect is much better than running and much faster. There is this saying that the burning effect of skipping for 10 minutes is equivalent to the burning effect of jogging for 30 minutes, which also shows that the burning efficiency of skipping is indeed very efficient.

During the weight loss period, although most people will choose running as their own fat burning exercise, but the people who can stick to it are really few, and the running time should be up to 30 minutes or more each time to achieve the best fat burning effect. Although we do not deny that the fat burning effect of running is also very good, but relative to skipping, more weight loss masters are more inclined to the fat burning efficiency of skipping.

Why do I recommend jumping rope to lose weight more than running?

1, skipping is more suitable for office workers who do not have time to exercise to burn fat and reduce fat, the efficiency of burning fat is faster, for the vast majority of people who are anxious to lose weight, skipping is the most suitable for their exercise.

2, compared with the burning efficiency of skipping and running, skipping is 2-3 times faster, when you jump rope up to 140 times /min, skipping 10 minutes of fat burning calories, equivalent to 30 minutes of jogging burning fat effect, consumption of more fat decomposition.

3, jumping rope is an aerobic exercise, can quickly increase the personal heart rate, as well as improve the personal heart and lung function. The most obvious is that people who just start skipping are easy to feel tired, but after adhering to a week of skipping, they feel that continuous skipping is not so tired, which means that your physical strength and heart and lung function have been improved.

4. Compared with running, jumping rope is not limited by time, weather and place. Therefore, jumping rope is more suitable for people who do not have time to exercise, and all that is needed for running is enough space or a treadmill, so that it is not the most suitable for individuals who do not have time to go out for exercise.

5, skipping is a medium and high intensity exercise, the exercise process can quickly decompose and consume fat, but also to prevent the loss of muscle consumption, ease the speed of muscle loss, maintain a high metabolism and high fat burning state. This is also an advantage for running that it does not have. Said skipping so many benefits, then some people will have questions, skipping seems to be more damaging to the knee than running, if this is the case, that is not as good as jumping?

In fact, this is not the case, we all know that exercise is benign damage to the body, only after the body recovers and rests, it will naturally be strengthened. If you can do the standard jumping rope posture for exercise, then the knee damage is basically very little, jumping rope can strengthen the knee.

Let’s first take a look at why some people jump rope will hurt their knees, because they are jumping rope like this, as shown below:

As can be seen from the figure, the knee is excessively bent in the process of jumping up, then the weight of the body is lifted up in the process of falling down, and the land will be transferred to the knee and ankle joints, and the damage is definitely the greatest.

Let’s take a look at the standard jumping rope position:

What we can see from the figure is the process of jumping up or falling down, the legs are kept in the original position, and the feet are on the ground and the knees are slightly bent in the process of falling, so as to minimize the damage to the joints of the lower body. So, are you ready to jump rope?
