Jump rope is a powerful cardiovascular and fat-burning exercise that trains your entire body in a short amount of time.
It increases your heart rate, burns calories, engages the whole body, and strengthens your lungs and heart.

Benefits

• Improves conditioning and can be done indoors at home

Calorie Burn Estimate (10 minutes):

• 55 kg person: 100–120 calories
