Jumping rope to burn calories is a versatile form of cardiovascular exercise that requires little space or equipment, yet can still produce results. How many calories you burn depends on factors like your weight, complexity of jump rope workout and speed.
Jumping rope will increase your metabolic equivalent (MET) value, helping to determine how many calories are burned during each bout of jumping. METs or metabolic equivalents measure energy expended in performing any particular activity, providing an estimate of calories burned when engaging in such physical activities as jumping rope.
Jumping rope has an estimated metabolic equivalent (MET) value of 12.3, meaning approximately 12x more energy is expended while jumping than when at rest.
How many calories burned while jumping rope can be estimated with this formula: body weight x MET value x 0.0175 x minutes exercised; this formula is utilized by the jump rope calorie calculator.
