rope skipping require lots of patient and perseverance..i use to skip alot..starting from 100 a day, increase to 200, 500, 1000, 4000, 5000..
Rope skipping train ur entire body if u do it correctly..do not ever lock ur knees to prevent injuries to ur knee cap..entire arms, core muscles, glutes down to ur calf..
One tips for u, do not hunch not matter how tired ure to prevent miscompression downwards ur spine that will affect ur backbone alignment..and do actived ur core muscle during the entire exercise to protect ur lowerback..this is essential..
Oh yea, of cuz it is another cardio exercise, but a much advance cardio exercise..if u do it correctly, rope skipping shuld burn more calories compare to jogging..due to more muscle movement in the sametime and more intensity compare to jogging..more heart rate, more breathing..
Best of luck bro..preservence!
Wow, if you said it was true, rope skipping for 20 minutes burn more calories than 30 minutes of treadmills in the gym, ill choose rope skipping, cuz it can enhance our stamina more than running on treadmills plus u can able to be tall?
