Skipping rope?

I asked a previous question about what excersies to do to lose weight as i have no idea. Some people suggested a skipping rope. How many times a day would i have to this and for how long? Bare in mind i do eat healthy x
Answer:
to be honest everyone is different so there is no definite answer. You will probably find the first time you do it you will be able to do about 5 min and be exhausted. This will be because it is completely new to your body. So your end goal will be about 20 minutes a day. This should be enough to get some good results, but make sure you combine it with other exercises.Every form of exercise has a shelf life, by which I mean an exercise that you find hard will show much better results than an exercise you find easy. But stick to one exercise like skipping and it won't be long before you become good and at which point the benefits are greatly reduced. So stick to skipping for a couple of months but then change to something else. You can always come back to skipping again at a later date.I hope this has helped, good luck!

This is an excellent exercise as it develops hand to eye co-ordination, balance, is a extreme cardio vascular workout, slim, trims and shapes the legs. Downside is it is pretty tough and takes practise to perfect, but any old piece of rope is all the equipment you will need. Stick with it, doing anything will get you fitter and improve your quality of life, well done for trying, all the best
