1. It won’t break the bank
Jumping rope costs next to nothing. You can pick one up for the price of your lunch.
2. It’s a full body workout
Jumping is a great full-body exercise that recruits as many muscles as you can imagine: calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, abs, shoulders, and arms.
3. Cardio training
Jumping is a great tool to improve cardiovascular physical aptitude. In just a few weeks, studies say, jumping can have a significantly positive impact on cardiovascular fitness for both men and women. In fact, a study comparing 30 minutes of daily jogging to 10 minutes of jumping found that both forms of exercise significantly improved participants’ cardio.
4. Burn a lot of kcal
Research shows that jumping can burn up to 25 to 30 kcal per minute in both men and women. If you’re looking to hit a calorie deficit for weight loss, stir-frying might just be the burner you’ve been looking for.
5. Improved agility
Jumping rope is a great activity. We can see countless examples of how jumping rope is incorporated into sports training to improve agility.
6. Greater variety and flexibility
One of the best arguments for incorporating jumping rope into your routine is the variety of workouts you can do. From resistance and interval training to improving power output and the ability to do it virtually, there are plenty of tricks out there.
7. It can make you happier
Exercising releases signaling molecules (neurotransmitters) called ‘endorphins’ that can help improve your mood. Skipping fits right into the zone of moderately intense exercise which may be the best to make sure you’re in a good mood.
8. Improved coordination
Jumping can be a super simple exercise to improve motor skills, balance, and overall coordination. One study found that in two sessions a week for several weeks, skipping improved balance and motor coordination in an athletic population.
9. Decreased risk of injury
In one study, researchers compared the contact force at the knee of 20 healthy young adults when they ran and jumped at the same speed. Compared to jumping, running produced nearly twice the average maximum force on the patella or patella.
Run it also produced nearly 30 percent more average peak force at the tibiofemoral joint, or the knee hinge formed between three bones: the femur, tibia and patella.
The researchers found that jumping burns 30 percent more calories than running and has less impact on the body.
10. It can make you smarter
Skipping helps with the development of the left and right hemispheres of your brain, which further improves spatial awareness, improves reading skills, increases memory, and makes you more mentally alert. A few minutes of jumping can engage the parts of the brain that are associated with being advantageous for cognitive learning.
