How fast can you lose weight by skipping rope?

Although everyone is familiar with the method of skipping rope to lose weight, some people do not achieve the ideal weight loss effect using this method. In fact, when such a phenomenon occurs, you need to pay attention to whether the method of skipping rope and the speed of skipping rope you use can achieve the ideal effect for weight loss. Now we will analyze and introduce the speed of skipping rope to lose weight.

Rope skipping is an essential warm-up activity for weight loss

Although some people think that skipping rope is an exercise that can easily hurt the knees, according to expert research reports, the impact force of skipping rope on the knees is only 1/7 to 1/2 of that of running. And as long as you can master the technique of skipping rope and land with the front end of your feet, you can reduce the impact on your body. Skipping rope can not only strengthen your cardiopulmonary function and muscles in major parts of the body, but also train your sense of balance and body agility. The most tempting thing is that as long as you can maintain a speed of 120-140 times per minute, you can burn 600-1000 calories in an hour.

Rope skipping is a relatively intense sport. Before practicing, you must do warm-up exercises for all parts of the body, such as shoulders, arms, wrists, and ankles. When you start practicing skipping rope, the movements should be from slow to fast, from easy to difficult. At the beginning, each exercise time can be 5-10 minutes, and then slowly increased to 10-15 minutes. You can take a short break in between and then continue jumping.

Choose a good skipping rope

Rope skipping only requires a small amount of space for activities, but the ground must be flat. It is best to cover it with carpets and cushions, and wear shock-resistant sports shoes to cushion the impact of the knees and ankles when they contact the ground. Otherwise, the reaction force during jumping may affect the spine and brain and cause sports injuries. It is worth noting that when jumping rope, it is best to wear a sports bra, or choose cotton underwear with better support, which can protect the chest muscles and avoid strain.

If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools. The most important tool for skipping is the skipping rope. When choosing, as long as the length and weight feel comfortable, it can be made of any material. However, due to different materials, the rope may be too thick, too heavy or too light, so it is better to choose a rope made of appropriate material. It is recommended that beginners choose a longer rope with a larger swing amplitude and slower speed, and then gradually increase the requirements, shorten the length of the rope, and increase the intensity of the exercise.

Skipping rope can effectively get rid of body fat, but we should pay special attention to the speed, time and amount of skipping rope. Only in this way can we lose weight. And we know that losing weight through this method of skipping rope is also a relatively safe and healthy method.
