will jump rope help lose fat?

Question

will jumping rope everyday for 30+ mins help me lose body fat OVERALL (like everywhere and not just my legs)? 
i'm 5'3 and 145lb
i've been eating healthy (no junk food ect) and drinking lots of water. and also my calorie intake is about 1200 daily. 
how long will i start to notice a change? i've been doing this for almost two weeks and i still look the same.

Answer

Loosing weight is all about consistently so just keep going, you will notice results probably around the 1 month mark. Try to stay focused on your goal and consider mixing up your routine so that it doesn't get monotonous. You should also increase the intensity/difficulty as you start to adapt.

Answer

I would up your calorie intake to at least 1400. 1200 is the lowest amount you should ever have, and any lower will cause you to gain weight. Also, when you're starting out with the jumprope, don't push yourself too hard. 30 minutes is going to feel like a lot longer once you actually start, so take it easy until you can make it to that time without feeling like you're about to collapse. Make sure you're eating plenty of protein too, as it is key to losing fat

Answer

Yes!! Jumping rope is an amazing exercise to lose some pounds! I used to coach jump rope and I believe the more that you do it, the better shape you will be in. Also, it gives you killer calves! Good luck! 😀

Answer

Your calorie intake is too low, plus introducing a pretty intense workout schedule has probably caused your body to go into starvation mode.  Try upping your calories just a bit on the days you workout. (1400) And DON'T workout everyday. You can be active, walks etc, but jumping rope for 30minutes is an intense workout.  3 to 4 days a week workout Max. And you need weights, not just cardio. I know it may sound like bad advice, but youve put your body is under stress, so it's doing the opposite of what you want right now.

Answer

and definitely up your calorie intake. you are eating way too little to be working out

Answer

well you cant spot reduce fat so if you lose weight it will be over all and not just your legs. that being said just doing cardio isn't a great way to lose weight. I suggest incorporating some strength training because the more muscle mass you have the more fat you burn. And dont worry,you wont get bulky

Answer

Weight loss is caused by an overall calorie deficit, so because jumping rope is a fantastic calorie burner, if you keep your eating under control you should be great. I am a 5'7" teen with a daily calorie intake of about 1500 calories, I don't do cardio, only lifting to increase base metabolic rate, and I am seeing change come steadily. 1200 calories seems a little low especially if you're doing a lot of cardio so keep an eye on it and make sure you don't develop an eating disorder (results can be addictive). Also, you can't choose where your body looses fat from so even if you only ever do squats you won't only loose leg fat you will loose fat from wherever has available energy stores. Jumping rope has a higher calorie burn than even running so if weight loss is your goal, it is an amazing exercise to get started with, just remember to switch it up every once in a while to keep those results coming. Good luck!

Answer

I tried jump rope alone last year with no other exercise and found it did nothing for me weight loss wise other than burn calories.

Answer

itll take you about 30 days to notice a change and to turn your healthy behavior into a habit.
