Skipping rope is a worldwide term which refers to jumping across the rope. We can see the skipping rope from the two points of view : the first one is rope skipping as a cardio activity. We can do this at home, outdoors, in the park, in the summer, with weighted skipping rope, speed rope… simpy whenever and wherever you want while using any type of skipping rope. On the other hand, every type of skipping rope is good for various goals.
 
 Speed ropes are used primarily by crossfitters, because they need to skip the rope as fast as possible. Another type, weighted skipping rope, can be used whether you are a beginner or advanced user of skipping ropes. Weighted skipping rope is a best tool for achieving lean body, because you smash your body fat in a short period of time. It is because you need more force while skipping, its extra weight makes the rotating of the rope to be a bit harder. This also makes people’s skipping activity difficult as they need to hold down the extra weight of the rope. And what more, you will burn much more calories while using weighted skipping rope and it makes a direct impact on your weight-loss!
 
 The second one is skipping as a free-time activity. If you need some rest from the work you are doing, there is nothing easier than to grab a skipping rope and start skipping. You do not need so much, just a small place and couple of minutes and results? You will be calm as never before and ready to get to work. Or, if you are always tired right after waking up, miss a morning coffee, do the 10 to 15 minute skipping and after few weeks you will be in the best shape of your life!
