JUMPING ROPE IS CHEAP, PORTABLE,AND BURNS MORE CALORIES THAN YOU MIGHT THINK. IT IS A CALORIE-BURNER. The exercise equipment sells for under $20, fits into a briefcase, can be used by the whole family, and improves cardiovascular fitness while toning muscle at the same time. Skipping may be used as a cardiovascular workout, similar to jogging or bicycle riding. This aerobic exercise can achieve a "burn rate" of up to 700 calories per hour of vigorous activity, with about 0.1 calories consumed per jump. Ten minutes of skipping is roughly the equivalent of running an eight-minute mile. Skipping for 15-20 minutes is enough to burn off the calories from a candy bar. ODS jump rope holds its shape and is easier to control than a lightweight cloth or vinyl rope. Basic requirements 1. Adjust the rope by holding the handles and stepping on the rope. 2. Shorten the rope so the handles reach your armpits. 3. Wear properly fitted athletic shoes, preferably cross-training shoes. NOTICE: 1. You'll need a four-by-six-foot area, and about 10 inches of space above your head. 2. The exercise surface is very important. Do not attempt to jump on carpet, grass, concrete, or asphalt. While carpet reduces impact, the downside is it grabs your shoes and can twist your ankle or knee. Use a wood floor, piece of plywood, or an impact mat made for exercise.
