BODY-SOLID tools Jump Rope

Description

While the main muscles that you’re working are your calves jumping rope activates more muscle than you may think. – you’re also using your shoulders (particularly your rear delts) as well as your abs, quads, and hamstrings. Pretty much every muscle is firing when doing this exercise to keep your body stable.

Jumping rope is a great calorie burner. Jumping rope at a moderate pace will burn approximately 16 calories per minute for a 200-pound man. You’d have to run an eight-minute mile to work off more calories than you’d burn jumping rope for 3, three-minute rounds.
