Jumping rope slims, burns calories and eliminates the belly carving the body. In just 30 minutes of this exercise you can lose up to 300 calories and tone your thighs, calves, buttocks and abdomen.
To begin with, you must invest in the purchase of a rope and a shoe that absorbs the impact well to protect the joints. Care must also be taken not to jump rope over the grass (not to fall into holes) and on the asphalt. The ideal place to jump rope is on rugs, on a wooden floor or in a rubber.
How to Start Jumping Rope
When starting, you should have low jumps and jump only when the rope is passing near the feet for 1 minute, followed by 1 minute rest, for up to 20 minutes in total. The posture is very important: straight back, eyes facing forward and contracting abdominal musculature are necessary to ensure the effectiveness of exercise.
However, to ensure a healthy weight loss it is important to avoid consuming foods high in fat and sugar and invest in foods that boost metabolism such as ginger and green tea, and to practice exercises that favor the formation of muscles such as bodybuilding, for example.
Jumping rope alone is not indicated for individual with joint problems, pregnant, obese and elderly, at the risk of causing damage to the ankles, knees and hips.
