We have so many options on the Gold Coast, but we reckon that this is one of the world’s best cardio machines. It burns around 135 calories in 10 minutes and you can use it at home rain, hail or shine. If you don’t think it’s the best, you’ll certainly agree it’s the best value as it only costs around $9! No, not $9 a week, just $9.
Yep, it’s the humble skipping rope!
Remember as a kid, playing jump rope with your friends in the school yard during lunch time? Or learning to skip double dutch to show off? Well I bet you never thought that as an adult, skipping is one of the most effective ways to burn a high amount of calories in a short amount of time!
How does the this sound- 135 calories in 10 minutes!
That’s right! So in 20 minutes of skipping, not only have you burnt off the equivalent of a 50g Dairy Milk Chocolate bar, but you have increased your metabolism, increased your fitness, kick started your weight loss AND had fun doing so! Plus you can do it in the privacy of your own home!
Check out the below video at Fitness Enhancement Personal Training Gold Coast for a quick run down from us on how to skip. Yes, it’s just a quick run down as it’s a whole lot simpler to operate than the latest treadmill!
