Why does my knee hurt when I skip rope?

Many people like to skip rope, especially white-collar workers who have no time or place to exercise. When it comes to losing weight, the most common way they think of is skipping rope. So, can skipping rope really help you lose weight? How can you lose weight by skipping rope? I believe that many people still don’t know that there is a correct way to jump rope, so next, I will introduce to you the correct way and precautions of jumping rope.

Preparation for the rope skipping weight loss method:

1. Empty-handed rope skippers: The so-called empty-handed rope skipping refers to those who don’t know how to skip rope. Instead of using a rope, they swing their arms and make rope skipping movements. However, the calories consumed are the same as those consumed by rope skippers! Empty-handed rope skippers should also prepare a pair of slightly thicker soft-soled sports shoes!

Second, before skipping rope, you should do some preparatory work such as leg stretching, waist rotation, etc. This will open up all the joints of the body, which can minimize the damage to the body caused by exercise discomfort, and improve the flexibility of the body. Pay special attention to stretching the calf gastrocnemius and Achilles tendon. These two parts are the most important because they are always in a highly tense state during the whole skipping rope process!

Key points of the rope skipping method for losing weight: stand with your legs open front and back, straighten your back leg with your heel close to the ground, and bend your front leg straight forward, which is what we often call a lunge. Then lie on your back on the mat, lift and straighten one leg, put the skipping rope around the arch of your foot, and slowly and forcefully pull the leg towards your torso with both hands. Do each leg for 30 seconds. (2 minutes) Some people may ask how many times you need to jump rope to lose weight? Click in and take a look.

The correct way to jump rope to lose weight:

1. This time, no matter you are skipping rope with bare hands or for exercise, don't be too eager for success in the process of skipping rope. Because everyone's physique is different, the time they can persist in exercise is also different. We must proceed step by step. Those with less endurance can jump for five minutes first, and then jump for ten minutes on the second day, and then jump for fifteen minutes on the third day. After a period of running-in and training, we will definitely be able to persist for longer and longer times.

2. When we are jumping rope, many people are used to touching the ground with both feet. In fact, in my opinion, we should adopt the method of alternating touching the ground with one foot, and we should not lift the foot too high. Because if we adopt the method of alternating touching the ground with one foot, we can reduce our fatigue during exercise, and avoid calf muscle soreness due to excessive weight and the growth of ugly "carrot legs".

Correct stretching movements after skipping rope to lose weight:

1. Stand up straight, stretch one leg forward and keep it straight, bend the back leg, stretch the body slightly forward, and stretch the arms in front. Hold for 8-12 seconds, then switch legs and repeat.

2. Stand up straight, cross one leg, grab the shoe with your hand, and hold it as close to your hip as possible. Keep your hips balanced, knees together, and your upright leg slightly bent. If you have trouble maintaining your balance, you can hold on to a wall or chair. Hold for 8-12 seconds, then switch legs and repeat.

3. Generally speaking, a full set of stretching exercises takes about 10-12 minutes. The movements must be done correctly to open up the joints and ligaments of the body. However, it also needs to be lengthened or shortened according to the weather temperature at that time. You should feel your body temperature rising, but your breathing should remain smooth.

Not exercising is a headache, but excessive exercise and "emotional dependence on exercise" are even more of a headache for experts and scholars. Scientists tell us that once the amount of exercise reaches the critical value of the human body, both the body and the mind will be adversely affected.

The editor reminds you that exercise can make people happy. However, once it exceeds 2 hours, symptoms such as anxiety and tension will appear. Therefore, everything has a limit, and the grasp of this limit determines whether exercise is beneficial or harmful. Exercise is used to strengthen the body. If you regard exercise as something more important than anything else, you will easily fall into misunderstandings and become addicted to exercise, which will not only be unhelpful to your health, but will cause harm to your body.
