The Ultimate Skipping Workout for Weight Loss

Skipping is one of the most fun, most effective ways you can torch fat. Not only can it burn upwards of 200 calories in as little as 10 minutes (more than 30 minutes of jogging!), but it improves agility and coordination — both unsung champions of fitness that help improve your overall performance.

If you want to enjoy the benefits of this fat melting form of exercise, but aren't sure where or how to start skipping, read on. Here's the ultimate skipping workout for weight loss.

But first! Be sure to grab a weighted skipping rope. This isn't some gimmick. A weighted rope helps you control the movement of the rope so you can better time your bounds and rotations and max out your gains.
