Jump rope burns more calories than any other exercise

I've just had a thought about what burns more fat than skipping ropes... Kettlebell Skipping Rope HIIT Complexes! *trots off to make a best-selling DVD* Watch out for KSRHIITC90X!

LOL :laugh:

How many turns per minute are you doing these days?

I think somewhere around 100, maybe 110- does that sound right?

Sounds pretty good for the short amount of time you've been jumping. You should be able to get that up to 140-150 range pretty quickly.

You should warn people.

I posted a warning about this exactly! Had me walking like a cripple after my first go!
