burning energy BURNS fat! Jumping rope is aerobic exercise...it increases your bodies demand and therefore intake of oxygen...which brings new fresh oxygen to the cells.
Excellent for your heart, lungs, legs and arms! Abs if you suck it in while jumping!!

Jumping rope is considered one of the best workouts. Not only do you burn more calories than most other workouts but you are using several muscles in your body.
You can look into February's edition (if I am not mistaken) of Self magazine (or go to Self.com) and you'll find not only a jumping rope-workout but you'll also be able to read about the benefits.
Success!

it burns calories but it definitely helps the heart area!
The American Heart Association has started a thing called "jump rope for heart" and you jump rope every day so it can keep your heart healthy because they don't want people with heart disease like their patients.

Make muscle with one of your arms. Then, where your forearem and other part of the arm come together, near your elbow, look at that muscle. That's what jump rope does.

If you do it enough, it will certainly burn fat. It's a valuable cardiovascular exercise (good for the heart and the lungs).
