Skipping Your Weight Off

Women Click HereDo you know how many calories you burn jumping rope? Just 10 minutes of moderate skipping can lose you approximately 120 calories.

Skipping is a great cardiovascular exercise and can help improve circulation. It can strengthen your muscles and bones an flexibility.

The first thing you’ll need for skipping is a good rope, I prefer one that is made of rope rather than plastic as I find the plastic ropes too light.  It's important that the rope can turn inside the handles and that you can adjust the length of the rope.

If you have never skipped before not to worry it is easy to learn. To get the right length, stand with both feet on the centre of the rope and pull the handles up alongside your body. They should just reach your armpits. When your skipping ensure you have comfortable trainers on, cross trainers with a cushioned sole is best.

Hold the rope handles comfortably in your hands  and bend your elbows, keeping your arms close to your body. Now the art of skipping is using your wrists to turn the rope, not your whole arm. You then need to jump just enough to clear the rope, when you jump imagine your are a spring, keeping the knees soft, not locked will help you absorb the impact better when landing actually if done properly skipping is easier on your knees than jogging.

The best way to get the most out of your program is to alternate skipping with walking and / or jogging. By breaking up the exercise routine will help improve weight loss and calorie burn.  Skipping is also fun when you do this with your kids, kids are so much more flexible and they can show you a trick or two.
