Jumping rope 500 times a day for 20 days plus healthy eating?

[Anonymous]

I'm 5'1 and 136 pounds, female. If I do this for 20 days straight, could I lose weight? If so, how much?

Jumping rope is, without a doubt, a good cardiovascular workout. It's also an activity you can do anywhere that doesn't require a lot of equipment. However, it's important to have a well-rounded exercise routine so that you're not working out the same muscles all the time. Plus, the heavy impact can be hard on your knees and ankles.

To get the most health benefits, a good exercise plan should include a variety of aerobic exercise, such as jogging or a step class, strength-training, such as push-ups and sit-ups, and stretching.

Also, jumping rope may not be a suitable form of exercise for everyone. Besides that, if you want to lose weight and keep it off, you need to jump rope and make changes to your diet too.

In addition to reducing your calorie intake to lose weight while jumping rope, it's also important that you include mostly nutrient rich foods from all the food groups fruits, vegetables, grains, lean proteins and dairy to ensure that your hard-working muscles get the energy needed to get the most out of your jump-rope workout.

You should also eat regularly, including three meals and one snack a day, to sustain energy levels and help control hunger. And, because jumping rope is a strenuous aerobic activity, be sure to drink plenty of water for hydration.

Wishing you the best of luck.

Why would you ONLY jumprope.. is that not boring for you? Yes you'll probably lose weight, but not that much.. Plus it's impossible for any of us here to really tell you because weight loss will also depend on your metabolism and current body fat percentage and whatnot.

Also just so you know, from jumping you might actually see the number on the scale go up because you're building muscle and muscle weights more than fat.

You're better off mixing your workout with some body weight training too. Like pushups, situps, leg raises, squats, and whatnot.

Yup, weights and diet
That's the secret
Jk, not a secret really

How much, we cannot answer. It depends on your body balance. Rope skipping is a good exercise, but to burn fat, you must stay in the low intensity region. But why not use other cardio exercises at the same time, like running, biking, swimming, ... And to be honoust, 20 days is short to loose a lot of weigth. Fat burning is a slow process.

Generally cardio exercises are helpful for weight loss. like running, cycling and rope jumping.
Though i think that u are good, i highly recommend a combination of these exercises mentioned at top. its for optimizing your workout session.
if u can do a mixture of those workouts for 30 to 40 mins per day that would be awesome.
one last thing: remember to pay attention to your diet. but don't make it complicated by counting your calories , just avoid fast
foods and soda and too much sugar. that's all.

Jumping rope for exercise shouldn't be done when counting reps like that. Jumping rope is done for time. Like 30 sec jumping, 30 sec off, for 10 minutes. Stuff like that.

That being said nobody can say how much weight you'll lose cause we don't know what kind of diet you're on. "Healthy eating" says nothing.

It's really hard to gauge how much weight someone will lose in a short time period. I would wager not very much. You have to be patient with these kinds of things. You didn't put it all on in 20 days; it's going to take longer than that to come off.

Jumping rope is good cardio. That's good to do but it's not a lot of calories. I climbed 100 floors on the stepmill today. 1/2 hr & only 200 ish calories.
You're bound to lose something. Keep track weekly not daily.

what kind of heart rate can you sustain while jumping rope?

[Anonymous]

Yes if you lose more calories than you're eating
