      Jumping rope 200 times a minute can burn 1,300 calories per hour. For many people who love beauty, this number is more tempting than Latin dance or even spinning. Moreover, rope skipping has many different tricks and is endless fun, and both celebrities and white-collar workers enjoy it. Jumping rope not only strengthens the lower limbs, but is also great for the upper body exercise . Of course, some men may think that rope skipping is a bit like a women's sport, but considering that even boxing champion Tyson is a supporter of rope skipping, men should give up this prejudice!

      Rope skipping becomes new favorite among white-collar workers

      25-year-old Lenny? Kensing works for a large multinational company and always keeps a plastic jump rope in his office drawer. “I'm used to finding open spaces to dance for a while when I'm tired, such as in parks or corridors. It is no longer a problem for me to play 'double jump' and so on, and I have learned a lot of new tricks with a group of like-minded friends. Many people may think that skipping rope is a boring exercise, but it is not. Once you get the hang of it, it becomes a lot of fun. ” As Lenny said, rope skipping is highly competitive, has many tricks, is very demanding on physical strength, is as "exciting" as rock and roll, and can fully demonstrate people's energetic side.

      Famous British singer James? Morrison also included a skipping competition scene in the recent MTV video for her new song "What You Give Me." In addition to singers, many young athletes have also joined the sport. They believe that skipping can give them many things besides sports.
