Something that we have done long ago as kids has always been the easiest way to burn fat, calories and lose weight. Cheap - all it costs is set of skipping rope which you can purchase in any good sports store and this easily portable exercise can be done anywhere. All you need is some space whether at home, or you are out of town – in your hotel room or on a holiday on the beach. This workout burns more calories per minute than any other workout. Consistent jump rope workouts and a healthy eating plan will likely lead to weight loss. The number of calories you burn from jumping rope 600 times depends on different factors, and you may have to adjust the time you jump to burn enough calories to lose weight.  If you jump at a rate of 70 times per minute, you can estimate the number of calories you burn per minute by multiplying your body weight by .074. If you do 125 jumps per minute, multiply your body weight by .080 to estimate the calories you burn in a minute. If you are faster on your feet and do 145 jumps per minute, estimate the number of calories you burn per minute by multiplying your weight by .089.

So get jumping for a perfect exercise and plenty of fun. And the  best thing about skipping is  that you can do it with your kids too!
