How to use skipping rope to lose weight

Skipping rope has always been a very good weight loss program, which can reduce fat through exercise, and I believe everyone can skip rope. When we were young, we often had skipping rope competitions in physical education classes, and many people were very good at it. Now we start skipping rope again, and we must proceed step by step and increase it slowly, so that we can achieve the purpose of weight loss. So how do we use skipping rope to lose weight? Let’s analyze it together.

For women who want to lose weight by skipping rope, they should not be impatient and should learn to proceed step by step. When you are just starting out, you only need to jump in place for 1 minute; after your body gets used to it, extend it to 3 minutes, 10 minutes, and even up to half an hour at a time. Jumping for half an hour at a time is equivalent to jogging for 90 minutes, which is the standard amount of aerobic exercise for weight loss. There is generally no restriction on the time for skipping rope, as long as you avoid causing physical discomfort. Be careful not to skip rope within half an hour before or after meals.

Don't jump too fast, and pay special attention to the stretching of your calf muscles. In principle, you can take a short break after every 100 or 200 jumps. To achieve the best weight loss effect, you need to jump at least 70 to 100 times per minute. Do not stop immediately after intense rope skipping exercise. Continue to skip rope or walk at a slower speed for a while to allow blood circulation to return to normal before you stop. Afterwards, remember to do some stretching and cooling movements to relax your leg muscles before you can truly end the exercise.

It is worth mentioning that although skipping rope to lose weight has many benefits, many girls are worried that skipping rope to lose weight will make their calves thicker. The actual situation is that the calves of most girls did not become thicker after jumping rope, but those of a few did become thicker. Because some people's genes make it difficult for them to build muscle no matter how much exercise they do, while there are a few people who can build muscle with just a little exercise. Therefore, the choice of weight loss exercise should be based on your own situation. Generally speaking, long-term exercise of the calf muscles will reduce calf fat, make the muscles tighter instead of bigger, reduce the leg circumference, and make the curves more beautiful.

Based on the above analysis, we know that although skipping rope has many benefits and can help us lose weight, we must not be in a hurry. If we do it too vigorously at the beginning, it will easily cause muscle strain. Therefore, the strength of skipping rope should be even and the speed should be slowed down. After a long period of practice, you can speed up to achieve the goal of losing weight.
