The disadvantages of skipping rope: skipping rope can cause great damage to the knees

Many people choose skipping rope to lose weight, because skipping rope does not require any venue or equipment, and you can do this exercise as long as you have a skipping rope. There are also many people online who share their success in losing weight by skipping rope. But skipping rope is not for everyone. Different people or different skipping methods may also cause disadvantages to the sport of skipping rope.

1. It is not safe for fat people to skip rope

Skipping rope is not the best way to lose weight, but it is a simple and easy overall training. When fat people do aerobics, they will not jump more than 8 beats (that is 64 times) each time , and jumping rope thousands of times at a time will cause too much damage to the knees . If you have injuries to your feet, knees or waist, this exercise is not suitable for you. Relatively speaking, walking, jogging and swimming are safer.

2. The shoes must be high-top and shock-absorbing

When jumping rope, be sure to wear shoes that can absorb shock and protect your ankles. Wearing slippers or dancing shoes is very dangerous. You have to buy regular sports shoes that can protect your ankles and soles of your feet. The Adidas Bangs series is a good choice.

3. 5,000 is too scary!

Judging from the number, the netizens' comparison of thousands of times is very dangerous. Everyone's physical condition is different, 3,000 or 5,000 is definitely not enough. How many jumps should you do? It should be calculated based on your heart rate. There is a formula to keep your heart rate between (220-your age)×65%-75%. The correct posture is: jump up slightly and tap the ground with both feet alternately.

4. Skipping rope will not turn you into an elephant leg

Your thighs will not become thicker because of skipping rope, as the intensity is not that high. Skipping rope will make the leg muscles smoother. In addition, this activity is actually not very helpful for weight loss, but it does enhance cardiopulmonary function.

5. If you don't stretch your legs after dancing, it's a waste of time!

After jumping, be sure to do stretching exercises. For example, to stretch your calves: put one foot on the step, put half of the other foot on the step, and shake the heel downward with force while hanging in the air. Alternate between your two feet. This can beautify the leg lines and relieve muscle pain.

6. Don’t worry about your breasts

Jumping rope will not cause sagging breasts. Just wear a tight sports bra, but don't wear bras with underwires or pads.

Experts remind you: The ground must be flat when skipping rope, and it is best to lay carpet or cushion. It is not advisable to practice on loose ground, otherwise, the rope will rub against the ground and raise a lot of dust, which will pollute the child's respiratory tract and is also bad for the eyes.
