ok so heard skipping is an awesome way to burn cals.. but how much time vs how many calories burned...

i know its going to have dependents, but on a rough scale...

i found a site that says 20 cals a minute? what do you think i got no idea!

    This will depend on many factors, eg. your speed - how many reps are you doing per minute? How much do you weigh?

    This site has a table of estimates based on reps per minute and a formula to calculate based on your weight, but remember this will still be an estimate as it does not take into account your personal fitness level: http://www.med-health.net/How-Many-Calories-Does-Jumping-Rope-Burn.html
