Which is better, running or skipping rope?

Running and skipping rope are both very good aerobic exercises. When exercising, choosing these items appropriately according to your physical condition is very beneficial for enhancing the body's immune ability and reducing excess fat in the body. However, skipping rope can allow more organs to participate in the activity. The following editor will introduce some of the main benefits of skipping rope to achieve fitness and weight loss goals.

Because of the unique health benefits of skipping rope for women, French fitness expert Mok has designed a "skipping rope progressive plan" specifically for female fitness enthusiasts. When you are a beginner, you only need to jump in the same place for 1 minute. After 3 days, you can jump continuously for 3 minutes. After 3 months, you can jump continuously for 10 minutes. After half a year, you can practice "series jumping" every day - such as jumping for 3 minutes each time, for a total of 5 times - until you can jump continuously for half an hour at a time. Jumping for half an hour at a time is equivalent to jogging for 90 minutes, which is a standard aerobic exercise.

Although skipping rope is a good way to keep fit, it is easy to get injured if you are not careful, so pay attention to the following:

1. Rope jumpers should wear high-top shoes that are soft and lightweight to avoid ankle injuries.

2. The rope is soft, hard and of moderate thickness. Beginners usually use hard ropes, and can switch to soft ropes after becoming proficient.

3. It is better to choose a venue with moderate hardness or softness, such as lawn, wooden floor or dirt ground. Do not jump rope on hard concrete ground to avoid damaging the joints and causing dizziness.

4. When jumping rope, you need to relax your muscles and joints, and coordinate the force of your toes and heels to prevent sprains.

5. Fat people and middle-aged women should lift and lower with both feet at the same time. At the same time, do not jump too high to avoid injuring the joints due to excessive weight.

6. Before jumping rope, do some warm-up exercises for your feet, legs, wrists, and ankles, and after jumping rope, you can do some relaxation exercises.

Skipping rope can not only help the body lose weight, but also can exercise the human nervous system well during the whole process, so that a person's balance and coordination abilities can be well exercised. Therefore, long-term persistence in skipping rope can be very helpful in improving a person's memory and thinking abilities.
