I love to skip and have found some of the best benefits of incorporating skipping into your everyday exercise routine.
Let’s have a look at the benefits of skipping exercises:
- It is one of the best cardio and HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) workout.
- Skipping exercise burns more calories in comparison to running. At the same time it does not require you to go outdoors. It can be done anywhere.
- It’s one of the most inexpensive exercise forms
- Skipping helps in muscle toning as it is basically a bodyweight exercise.
- It improves footwork, balance, coordination, and agility. Most of the runners and other athletes jump rope for training.
- Skipping gives a full-body workout. It is especially great for toning and developing thighs, shins and calf muscles. Simultaneously, it also works on abs and arms.
- It engages and improves the hip-flexor muscles.
- Studies show that skipping exercises put lesser pressure and is less shocking for the joints than running. It is a low impact exercise than running and therefore a better option.
- Skipping can be done by anybody and everybody, from beginners to advanced level
- All the equipment that the skipping exercise requires is a skipping rope, which can fit into your purse or handbags and is travel-friendly. So, you won’t have to miss your workout, all you need is a rope and an open area to burn calories.
