!” Today – skipping aint’ for no sissy’s. It’s been rediscovered as one of the best high impact, high intensity and calorie burning exercises you can do. As a comparison – an average 150 pound person, in ten minutes of skipping burns about 125 calories. To get a comparable rate you would have to walk briskly for 25 minutes, swim (non-stop) for 15 minutes or ride a stationary bike for 16 minutes. So turn up the juice and do some speed skipping, flip some tricks and that calorie burning will naturally increase. www.fitnessadvice.ca
