There are 6 major disadvantages of skipping rope

Many friends believe that skipping rope regularly not only exercises the body but also has health benefits. The following experts will introduce to us what are the disadvantages 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 need to buy regular sports shoes that protect your ankles and soles.

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.

Expert Tips: The ground must be flat when skipping rope, and it is best to cover it with 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 bad for the eyes.
