Skipping is not just good for your body but for your mind too! It's a great way to get fit and improve your overall health. Here are a few key benefits of jumping rope:

Burn Calories

It's about the best calorie burning exercise out there! According to Science Daily, 10 minutes of skipping rope is equivalent to running an 8-minute-mile.

Increase Bone Density

Science suggests that jumping rope is one of the best methods of building bone density!

Build Agility & Quickness

Skipping rope improves your balance and quickness by making your mind focus on your feet for sustained periods of time. You become more agile and coordinated over time and your balance improves too.

Improve Your Brain

We all know that exercise is good for our brain but it turns out that exercise that involves the brain and body (like ballroom dancing or jumping rope) is even better than exercise alone!
