#1 Burn Fat and Lose Weight
30 minutes of jump rope burns significantly more calories than 30 minutes of jogging,
and it has also been proven that 10 minutes of jump rope can be as effective as running
an eight-minute mile.
Jump Rope is an aerobic exercise, which means that it uses your heart, lungs, and blood
vessels throughout. This makes it extremely effective at burning fat and calories, and
1 hour of jump rope can allow you to burn up to 1300 calories. Amazing, right?!
So, if you want to lose weight from the comfort of your own home, in a quick and easy way,
then jump rope is your answer.
#2 Improves Cardiovascular Health
Due to jump rope being an aerobic exercise, it really gets your heart pumping which makes
it excellent for your heart and cardiovascular health and fitness. It increases the volume
of oxygen your lungs can take which helps to increase your exercise capacity.
Jump rope also helps people who are at a high risk of cardiovascular disease due to prehypertension
or high blood pressure, as it helps to reduce body fat and lower your pulse rate which are
both things that help to improve your overall heart health.
#3 Improves Bone Density
Studies have shown that the best way to improve your bone density is by jumping up and down,
which is, of course, the whole principle of jump rope. It helps to strengthen your bones
which can prevent and lower your risk of getting conditions such as osteoarthritis.
#4 Better balance and coordination
Another great benefit of jump rope is that it improves your coordination. When jumping
rope, you have to focus on two things at once; using your arms to move the rope and focusing
on making your feet jump over it. As you keep practicing this your overall spatial awareness
and coordination will improve.
Furthermore, due to the little movements you have to make with your feet to get them over
the rope and back down in time for when the rope comes back around, it can improve your
coordination by making you extremely light on your feet. It allows you to be more conscious
of your movements. Keep doing jump rope and you’ll be able to move as stealthy as a
ninja in no time!
#5 Lower Risk of Injury
As mentioned at the start of the video, jump rope is something that athletes from all sports
do to help them keep fit. Many athletes, especially tennis players and runners, are at a high
risk of getting ankle or foot injuries. However, they want to avoid this at all costs, because
a bad injury could lose them competitions, or even their career.
Therefore, jump rope is something they do to help decrease their risk of getting these
sorts of feet and ankle injuries. Jump rope helps this due to the fact that, as mentioned
previously, it requires so much coordination of your feet, that it makes the individual
lighter on their feet, and better able to move around on it in a way that isn’t going
to strain or injure it. Furthermore, jump rope helps to strengthen the muscles in our
feet and ankles, making them more resilient and able to cope better with stress.
#6 Fun
Jump rope is great because it is such a fun activity that can be done with friends. You
can get a group of three people together, have one person on each end, and then one
person who has to jump over the rope in the middle. This is so much fun, and it will make
exercise feel more like a game than exercise.
It is also so fun because there are different ways you can use a jump rope even when you
are by yourself. You don’t have to just do the standard jumping over the rope with
your arms either side of you etc. You can mix it up! Try crisscrossing the rope, or
doing double jumps, or try jumping over the rope with one leg. Trying this variety of
moves helps to keep it interesting and means you are less likely to get bored with it.
#7 Can be Done Anywhere
Jump ropes can be bought so easily from places like amazon or even supermarkets. You can
get one that is perfect for your height, in the color and pattern you want, and then you
have a piece of exercise equipment that you can take absolutely anywhere with you.
They are so compact and lightweight, so they are perfectly portable. You can take it with
you on holiday, to the park and just absolutely anywhere.
#8 Improves Mental Health
Because of the improvement in coordination you get with jump rope from having to engage
your brain to make sure you are doing all the things you need to at the same time, it
can actually have some benefits to your mental health.
The main way it does this is that it makes you better able to stay calm in stressful
situations. It helps you to be more centered and to collect your thoughts better, so you
are more able to assess a situation effectively and react in a calm, purposeful manner.
#9 Improves Breathing Efficiency
Because jump rope is an aerobic exercise and engages your heart and lungs, it requires
you to really focus and manage your breathing in order to get your maximum potential out
of the workout. Therefore, jump rope can actually significantly improve your breathing efficiency.
So, you’ll never have to take the lift again and those stairs will seem like no issue at
all!
#10 Makes you Smarter
Yes, you heard me right! Doing lots of jump rope has actually been proven to make you
smarter. This is in part due to the improved coordination you get from it, which can be
applied to so many different aspects of life including in education.
When you do jump rope, it engages both your left and right hemispheres of your brain,
which helps to enhance your sense of spatial awareness, your reading skills, memory and
generally helps to make you more mentally alert.
These are all things that can help you in all areas, and you will find your brain’s
ability and capacity to be greatly improved.
So, there you have the top 10 benefits of jump rope. It is such a great activity that
can get you into great shape and improve your health so much. What will happen if you do
jump rope every single day? Well, you will notice a significant decrease in your body
fat, your legs and feet will feel so much stronger, and you will find that you have
so much more stamina. You will also probably feel so much happier and calmer, as it is
