Is skipping a good exercise? I've been told that it is, but MFP doesnt seem to recognise it as an exercise... Any ideas please?

Any exercise, whether it's skipping, jumping, running, or hopping....it gets your body moving! I loved skipping as a kid, it would be a great way to get a smile too0

I'm sure it is... it's definitely cardio and it's super fun!! But I have no idea how to calculate a recipe in order to add it to the database0

If I was doing skipping I would log under aerobic, depending on how hard/fast you are working general or intense0 -
Thanks for bringing this topic up. . .I'm definately gonna add some skipping to my noontime walk today!0

skipping is one of the best cardio exercises. You can look at other sites to get an estimate of calories burned, then enter it into your MFP database.0

Skipping is an amazing exercise..it's funny that they have cleaning as an exercise but not skipping??0

Skipping is a really good form or cardio. You can find it under jump rope on the database.
I've got a skipping rope that calculates the kcals you burn during your workout using your weight, and all I can say is that it says I'm burning more than I would when I run.0 -
I make my basketball team do high skips with arm reaches the length of the court sometimes during their conditioning. Trust me, it works them.0

I think I might skip for awhile today since I read this. Thanks!! :flowerforyou:0

It's in the MFP exercise list - search for jumping rope instead.
Thanks, I'm inspired to get my skipping rope out, it's currently dangling over my exercise bike!0 -
