Lose weight with jump rope

Now, we are the Jump Rope Dudes so we know you might think we are biased.

Confession: We are biased.

We love jump rope because we’ve done it for years and achieved our lean bodies with it.

Is jump rope really a good way to lose weight?

Yes. But you have to do it the right way.

Step 1: Use a slightly weighted jump rope

While a regular jump rope is great for you to get started with, we recommend weighted jump ropes for one simple reason:

The additional weight creates more resistance which causes you to burn more calories, which leads to greater weight loss results.

First off, we never endorse any product we haven’t tried ourselves. If it doesn’t work for us, we’re not going to recommend it to you.

Secondly, the best jump ropes we’ve found (and the same ones you’ll see featured in all of our jump rope workout videos) are made by Crossrope.

They come in a variety of lengths and weights to fit your needs and they are industrial strength so they last a lot longer than regular jump ropes.



Step 2: Do high intensity interval training 


High intensity interval training sounds intimidating, but it’s incredibly awesome and simple.

HIIT workouts are super effective and efficient because it uses concentrated effort for maximum results and it’s simple to follow.

You don’t need to waste time you don’t have to get lackluster results, right?

All the workouts we create use the HIIT method in some form because it works and people really like it.

Here’s a free 20-minute routine for you to try.


Step 3: Do exercises you feel comfortable with


Let’s be honest, ok?

If you don’t like a workout, you’re not going to keep doing it.

If a workout isn’t fun, you’re going to get bored or demotivated and stop.

If it’s too complicated, you’ll end up tripping or making mistakes and get so frustrated that you quit.
