Will Jump roping help you lose weight fast and if it does how long will it take to lose 10-15 pounds?

Answer 1

That's an excellent form of exercise. Weight loss can only happen when you eat fewer calories than you burn. You can generally loose about 1/2 pound a day if you eat right and exercise vigorously. But of course, as everyone always warns, "your results may vary".

Weight loss takes place in the muscles, or more accurately, calories are burned in the muscles. If you're relatively fit and toned, you can loose weight a lot faster than if you've been sitting around or have been on some kind of starvation diet that has reduced your muscle mass.

Anorexia, fad diets and other extreme actions can actually prevent you from being successful in the future.

To maintain muscle mass while you loose weight, keep the calories down but make sure you're getting enough protein. Protein fills you up, stays with you and keeps you from loosing muscle mass.

Sugar and starch just makes you hungry in a couple hours. Fats are concentrated calories that aren't very beneficial.

So... to loose weight, eat fruits, veggies, protein and exercise.

Diet and exercise is the only way.

if you keep it up and depending how old u r, u can lose that much weight in a month

Answer 2

I'm a 6'1 male and i was at one point 256 lbs. i now weigh 178. if you really want to lose weight, start running and stop eating fast food, candy, sweets, and don't overeat. it's also a good idea to stop drinking soda. just jumping rope, it'll take you a long time.

Answer 3

Yes, if you do it as an anarobic exercise. Do jump-roping very intense for about one minute, then take a one minute break. Do about 5 sets of these and you will get a pretty good burn
