Is skipping rope effective for weight loss?

Skipping rope is indeed a very good way to lose weight. First of all, skipping rope to lose weight is very simple to operate, and there are many varieties of skipping rope, so it is not easy to feel monotonous during exercise. Secondly, skipping rope can be done by one person or multiple people together, which further increases the fun of skipping rope. You can also make many good friends while losing weight by skipping rope. Here are some benefits of skipping rope for weight loss.

First point: Jump rope continuously for at least 20 minutes each time. Here we explain that continuous and uninterrupted rope skipping for at least 20 minutes means that you should try not to rest during the process of skipping rope and maintain a certain training intensity evenly. Please see the second point below to measure this training intensity. I would also like to remind all my friends who want to lose weight by skipping rope that it should be more than 20 minutes, not just 20 minutes. And the longer you jump rope, the better the weight loss effect will be.

Second point: The intensity of each skipping rope should be controlled at about 75% of your maximum intensity. So how do you measure 75% of your own strength? There are two methods, one is to measure by heart rate, and the other is to measure by self-perception. If heart rate is used to measure, it is recommended that those who jump rope to lose weight wear a device to measure heart rate during exercise, such as a heart rate watch, heart rate belt, etc. Then judge whether the training intensity has reached 75% based on your heart rate. The formula for calculating the heart rate is: (220-age)*75%, which is the heart rate that the practitioner should maintain when skipping rope to lose weight. Therefore, when jumping rope to lose weight, the practitioner should let his heart rate reach the calculated heart rate value.

In fact, skipping rope not only helps with weight loss, but also exercises multiple organs of our body during the process. Skipping rope can exercise our respiratory system and nervous system. It can not only lose weight, but also help improve arthritis, high blood pressure, and high blood lipids. Skipping rope can also prevent insomnia, depression, and menopausal syndrome.
