Jumping rope is a simple exercise that can be done anytime and is easy to learn. However, to achieve weight loss results, you must jump rope for at least half an hour to two hours. The longer you jump rope, the more fat you burn, but be careful not to overdo it, as it can cause adverse reactions. Jumping rope can help postpartum women lose weight, assist children in growing taller, and maintain our cardiovascular health. People who stick to jumping rope for a long time develop good muscle endurance, explosive power, and jumping ability. Continuous fast-paced jumping rope should not exceed 10 minutes, as it can put a burden on the heart. Take a break for a few tens of seconds after exercising for a while, and then continue.
Quite a few women are concerned about whether jumping rope can help with weight loss. Weight loss is essentially fat loss. Exercise for weight loss is not quick but very scientific, as it burns a lot of fat and does not rebound. Dieting and medication for weight loss are quick but come at the cost of health and are prone to rebound, which significantly increases the risk of heart disease. However, exercising for only fifteen minutes at a time burns carbohydrates, not fat. Only after half an hour of exercise does the body start burning more fat. The longer the exercise session, the more fat is burned, because the primary energy source for continuous exercise is fat, not carbohydrates. Conversely, the energy source for instantaneous explosive exercise is carbohydrates, not fat, so this type of exercise is not beneficial for weight loss. Below is a list of eight exercises and their calorie consumption. Note: To lose one kilogram of fat, the body needs to burn 7,700 calories, or another version says 7,200 calories. Friends who want to lose weight, especially young women, please calculate for yourselves which exercise is most effective, safest, and requires the least financial investment.
Some people try to lose weight by jumping rope before meals to reduce appetite, which is not scientific. The best time for human activity is from 3 PM to 8 PM. Friends who want to improve their jumping rope skills might as well do it during this period. Experts do not advocate morning exercise. Some people "rise with the rooster" to exercise in the morning, even getting up at three or four o'clock, and then going back to sleep. This not only makes them susceptible to air pollution but also disrupts their biological clock, leading to fatigue and premature aging. Because before sunrise, ground air pollution is most severe and there is less oxygen.
The weight loss effect of jumping rope is excellent, but it is also important to do stretching exercises after the workout to relax the leg muscles and prevent the appearance of "radish legs." Of course, warm-up exercises should also be done before jumping rope, mobilizing the joints of the shoulders, wrists, knees, and ankles to avoid sports injuries.
