HOW CAN JUMP ROPE HELP YOU LOSE WEIGHT?

Jump rope is known for being an excellent way to burn a lot more calories per hour than other forms of cardiovascular exercise. This means, if you’re limited on time, it’s the efficient option you should choose.

Nonetheless, fat loss only occurs when a calorie deficit is achieved over a sustained period of time. Jump rope will help you achieve a calorie deficit due to how efficiently it can burn calories, but without a consistent and sustainable caloric deficit through diet intervention, no amount of jump rope (or any form of intense exercise) will make you lose weight.

As the saying goes, you can’t out-train a bad diet.

Assuming you are in a calorie deficit, jump rope helps you lose weight by offering you an intense form of cardiovascular exercise which is very very easy to stick to and be consistent with. Being consistent is one of the most challenging parts of any workout plan and jump rope doesn’t fail in this department. Not only is it extremely fun, but there are countless ways to utilise a jump rope in your workouts. Unlike running or swimming, which become very monotonous with higher volume training, jump ropers can constantly evolve their training protocols - speed training, leg crosses, double unders, weighted ropes and just a few of the options available.
