Skipping For Weight Loss

Why rope skipping?

People looking to lose weight are always interested in exercising. It’s practically inevitable: if you’re trying to get rid of that spare tire, sooner or later you are going to have to start doing some exercises in order to burn off the extra calories.

While taking herbal pills, such as the excellent ProShaperx, to start the weight loss process is a good idea; calories will still refuse to burn themselves off. This means that some effort is required on your part.

Most people go to gyms or start running in the park. These are good options. Gyms always have professional trainers on hand that can help a beginner to plan his routines and can recommend exercises. Running in the park, on the other hand, is a fine way to build stamina and keep the cardiovascular system in shape. And so are rope skipping, jogging and bicycle riding. Whereas going to the gym costs money, cardiovascular training is cheap. I was going to say that cardio is free, but you still have to buy a bike, some sport clothes or a skipping rope.

Rope skipping is something everybody can do in their spare time. It’s a simple and fun exercise and once you got the hand of it, you’re bound to like it. People who’ve never skipped a rope tend to say: “That looks like a complex exercise. What if my feet get tangled I that rope?”. Believe me, it’s not complicated at all. If you can pop a ProShaperx pill in your mouth, then you can certainly skip the rope. It doesn’t take any brains at all, just a bit of muscular coordination.

The numbers don’t lie. Rope skipping for ten minutes is the equivalent of running a mile in eight minutes. So, if you think the park is too far or too populated with unsavory characters, you can skip the rope in your home or backyard. Thirty minutes of this type of exercise are as good for your heart and weight loss effort as running a couple of miles. One hour of rope skipping will rid you of 1,300, which is not bad at all for something that only requires a piece of rope and some free time.

Rope skipping also does a better job protecting your joints. It certainly is easier on the knee joints than running because both legs handle the impact of each jump, simultaneously. And unlike jogging, jumping rope is also good for your arms. The shoulders get a really good workout from keeping that rope in motion. It’s no wonder boxers and wrestlers do a lot of rope skipping, since it works wonders for their footwork while at the same time helping them stay in shape.

So, to wrap it up, rope skipping is a fun and efficient way of losing weight. Combine it with other exercises that can be performed at home and make sure you get at least 30 minutes of workout per day. Taking ProShaperx is a very good idea, but the pills cannot help people who don’t watch their food intake and refuse to exercise. If you keep a positive outlook, exercise and stay off fast food and sodas, results won’t be long coming.
