Rope skipping is a great exercise as it engages most of the muscles in your body, improves your body coordination and can be done almost anywhere, perfect for the busy office ladies. In addition, you get to lose up to 612 calories with 1 hour of rope skipping! We are amazed.

Here's how you can get your ideal body through skipping:

#1 Warm Up

Place emphasis on your wrists, shoulders and ankles when doing your warm-ups. Do 2 sets of star jumps, 30 times each set.

#2 Build Up

You don't want to dive straight into crazy rope skipping. Start off with a short 5-10 minutes set and slowly build up speed according to your body's condition.

#3 Skipping Rope

You can alternate between different rope skipping methods - your legs closed together then one leg on the left and the right. Do 120 rope skips for each set with 1 minute of rest in between each set. Remember, you will only start to burn calories if you skip rope for at least 30 minutes.

#4 Cool Down

After exercising, make sure to stretch out your muscles! Do these stretches for at least 15 seconds each.

Remember to wear a pair of thick sole sneakers to prevent injury to your feet and only skip rope every other day to prevent injury. With a balanced, low-calorie diet and conscious efforts to include more exercise in your life, you can get your ideal figure in no time!
