Walking and running are no longer useful for . At least that’s what many “influencers” and athletes think, who on social networks are increasingly joining the trend of a sport that many left behind at school: the jump rope. It is a simple exercise that everyone can practice without fear of causing injury and that has several advantages.
The first is that it is a high intensity exercise so you only have to do a few minutes to notice the results. That is to say: you are going to burn many more calories jumping rope for 10 minutes than running for half an hour. In addition, this fashionable exercise allows you to dedicate just enough time a day to sports. Of course: remember that you have to combine jumping rope with more movement in general throughout the day. There is no point in doing sports for an hour in the morning and then leading a totally passive life. Remember that the World Health Organization ensures that you should move (at least) until you can take 15,000 steps each day. And that only to be healthy and not suffer from any disease related to excess weight. and falling into a caloric deficit is somewhat more complex.
But jumping rope has more important advantages. The second is that you will not need any complicated device. You can buy a jump rope or make your own. It is also an exercise that you can do at home. To lose weight you don’t need to start going to the gym two hours a day. In fact, it is better that you gradually increase your exercise load during the first weeks so that you do not do it all the first day.
If you really want to notice results quickly You also have to take into account that you need to combine exercise with a healthy and healthy diet fleeing from the empty calories of alcohol or sugary soft drinks and changing much of your diet that consists of ultra-processed foods for real food.
Of course, what you have to take into account when jumping rope is that it is important that you stretch correctly afterwards to avoid that the muscles are loaded. and losing weight should only be a consequence. The cause and what should be fought for is to have a healthier life.
