It also gives poor posture a helping hand by encouraging you to pull your shoulders back and out of the hunched posture. Also, in one study, women who jumped on the spot three times a week for six months increased their lower-body bone density, getting the jump on osteoporosis in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skipping for weight loss is also a common reason people pick up the rope, with skipping burning almost 200-300 calories (based on half an hour of skipping a day).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>If you are new to skipping or it&#8217;s been a while since you&#8217;ve tried, here are some handy tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Get the rope the right length! This is crucial and will make a big impact to your skipping ability Standing with both feet on the rope, the rope should come up to your armpits when pulled straight<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay low to the ground, knees soft, and stay light on your feet to minimise impact<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Your arms should be at a 45-degree angle and pulled into your ribs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rotate from your wrists rather than your shoulders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep your core engaged throughout.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>As with all new exercise routines, build up slowly to avoid injuries. If you are a beginner, you could start with 1-5 minutes of skipping, 1-3 times a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Once you get the hang of it, you could try some fancy footwork, including double-unders where the rope passes under your feet twice with one jump! Tricky!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How about setting yourself a skipping challenge today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If pain and discomfort prevent you from enjoying life, <a href=\"https:\/\/the-lymington-chiropractic-clinic.uk2.cliniko.com\/bookings?business_id=1005251553990287995#service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Book Online<\/a> or call <a href=\"tel:01590679560\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">01590 679560<\/a> for appointments with chiropractors Colin, Charlotte or Fiona, or massage therapist Hannah.
