Can jumping rope really build muscle?

Everyone has a lot of muscles in their body. Muscles not only give us strength, but also make the body lines more beautiful. So many people have joined the ranks of muscle building. Of course, building muscles is not that easy, and not everyone can develop such big muscles like fitness athletes, so there is no need to worry. So can skipping rope really build muscle?

Skipping rope can prevent osteoporosis

Jumping rope has many benefits, such as enhancing lung capacity and immunity. There are different benefits for different groups of people.

Improve flexibility and coordination

There are more and more fat children nowadays because they love to eat junk food, study all day and do not exercise enough.

A famous British fitness coach once made a statistical comparison of various sports based on the calories burned in half an hour. The result was: track and field 450 calories, basketball 250 calories, cycling 330 calories, jogging 300 calories, walking 75 calories, and skipping rope 400 calories. By comparison, we can clearly see the advantages of skipping rope. For children who are under great pressure to study, basically only half an hour is needed to strengthen their muscles throughout the body, eliminate excess fat on the buttocks and thighs and meet the required amount of exercise without becoming excessively obese.

Relieve cervical and lumbar pain

White-collar workers also have difficulty exercising. Sitting in front of the computer all day long and rarely engaging in strenuous exercise, once you start operating, you will definitely feel sore all over for several days without relief; and exercises that are too regular, such as yoga, are difficult to complete on time and in cycles.

Therefore, rope skipping, due to its simplicity and ease and not limited to any place, can not only become a casual daily exercise for white-collar workers, but orthopedic professors and experts also believe that rope skipping can also help relieve muscle soreness.

This is because skipping rope is an exercise that can coordinate the whole body, so it can increase the strength of muscles throughout the body. While shaking the rope, the arms and shoulders can also be involved, and the muscles of the shoulders and waist can be fully exercised. By skipping rope for a long time, your muscles will be strengthened and the pain in your shoulders, neck and waist will naturally be relieved.

No matter what kind of exercise you do, you can exercise your muscles, but the reasons are different and the parts of the muscles that are exercised are different. Rope skipping is a whole-body exercise that trains the leg and arm muscles more. You can choose the most suitable exercise according to the part of the muscle you want to train. For example, sit-ups, push-ups, etc.
