A rope of suitable size to your height is the first crucial step in forming a good skipping rope posture.
When skipping, you need to keep your back straight but not stiff. Hold your body tightly to maintain balance when you jump and land.
Keep your knees slightly bent when you land. Try to land softly, using your leg and core muscles to compensate for the impact.
Jump by the ball of your foot, not by the middle or heel.
At the same time, hold the rope with your wrist, not your entire arm to swing the rope up and down your body.
Jumping with an incorrect posture may lead to injury and irritation of the muscles or joints.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA), skipping rope burns 500 calories per hour for a person weighing approximately 99 pounds, 750 calories per hour for a person weighing approximately 150 pounds, and 1,000 calories per hour for a person weighing approximately 200 pounds.
Skipping rope can be an effective calorie-burning activity when performed correctly. However, for some individuals with joint problems, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, etc., it is recommended to consult a doctor before performing this exercise.
