    #HealthBytes: Why you should go for jumping or skipping rope?

    Jumping rope, more commonly known as skipping, is one of the most effective home exercises. Plus, it is convenient, inexpensive, easy, and super fun. All you need is an 8-10 feet long rope, some space to jump conveniently, spare 30-45 minutes, and voila! you have a great cardio workout. Read on to find out the many benefits associated with this simple exercise.

    Skipping some dedicated 10-15 minutes is the way to go

    If you are looking for an easy yet effective way of burning extra calories, skipping is the way to go. Studies have observed that some dedicated 10-15 minutes of jumping rope with high intensity can be considered equivalent to running an 8-minute mile. This activity can achieve a burn rate of up to 1,300 calories per hour, with about 0.1 calories consumed per jump.

    It can improve the coordination between your body and brain

    Jumping rope can improve your body-brain coordination. While skipping, you will notice that whether or not you are paying attention to your feet, your brain is aware of what your feet are doing. Regular practice of this exercise makes you lighter on your feet, which is why it is an essential part of the training regimes that are focused on sports like boxing.

    Known to be extremely effective in improving endurance and balance

    As we have mentioned before, adding skipping to your exercise routine can improve your coordination and strength. Additionally, it is great for increasing your stamina too. Skipping is known to be extremely effective in improving endurance and balance in young athletes. Regular skipping can also reduce your fatigue after a long day at work.

    It works on biceps, triceps, shoulders, calves, thighs, and glutes

    Skipping engages more muscle groups, hence it should be a part of your routine workout. This activity not only helps in building lean muscle but also enables you to work your biceps, triceps, shoulders, calves, thighs, and glutes. Just remember: The higher the intensity goes, the more benefits you reap. You can make this more effective by skipping with weighted jump ropes.
