I am so exited to see. Umm how long should I jump rope at one time? And how many times a day? The reason I am losing weight is because I have seen my number on the scale. Was not too happy about it. I have been cutting the calories down and drinking a lot of water. Wish me luck. I just bought a jumprope tonight! I am so exited to see. Umm how long should I jump rope at one time?

It's great! I usually do no exercises and although im not fat (per say) I'm feeling so much better doing this 5 days a week. I'm feeling less bloated, and less bored, as well as that bit happier as the endorphins go through my body not to mention i'm getting some serious brownie points with the kids. I feel privileged to have a great job with the facilities of a back-yard gym! I'm buying my own skipping rope soon.

I had no idea that jumping work was so much better than my walking and elliptical. We started the biggest loser at work on 1/1/10 and will end on 6/1/10. I have lost 5lbs as of this week on Weight Watchers and hoping to loose 50lbs by that date but 100lbs overall. I'm 5'5" and my starting weight was 253.8lbs. My awful all time high. I will keep you all posted on my progress. Thanks for all your comments and experience.

Are you keeping a diary of what you are eating? I recommend Livestrong.com. The Daily Plate on the site is free, and you would be surprised how many foods are already in the system under the search tab. You've probably heard it before, but you would be surprised about how much you are really eating if you aren't keeping track. Also, it is awesome how you are consistantly working out 4x per week. Even if your weight hasn't budged, I know your heart and health are really improved. However, new recommendations I have read say that you should work out 30? minutes (can't remember the exact number) most days of the week to lose weight. I'm not sure if four days is enough to lose weight. However, if you are taking in less calories than what you need on a daily basis (keep in mind that 3500 calories equals a pound), and working out, you should be losing weight. If after really examining you diet and exercise routine and nothing adds up, I would see a doctor. It might be your thyroid, insulin resistance, or something else. Good luck! Jesse- how is your diet?

I'm 37 years old, 5.1 and am currently weighing 146 lbs. I have been trying to loose weight for quite some time. I joined slim in 6 back in June of 2009. I have accomplished some weight loss but to my dismay, I grew tired and stressed for not having a good schedule I can work with. I try to make things happen by waking up at 5:00 a.m. to get my work out in the morning hours and be able to care for my family during the evening hours when I get home from work. In Sept. of 2008 I was weighing 161 lbs. due to meds for asthma. I feel much better for having lost 15 lbs. and am hoping to drop down to at least 120 lbs. I know that these 26 lbs. aren't going to be easy so I'm going to work hard at improving my diet and jumping rope for at least one hour, five days a week. Your help and motivation is much needed!

Running shoes do not have cushion at the sole of your foot, where you land, and all of the bulk on the heal of a running shoes is a place the rope can get caught and break your stride.

I have lost significant weight twice jumping rope (unfortunatley, I quit working out and also gained it back), and there is nothing I have ever found that invigorates me more. I read a book about the power of jump roping over 10 years ago. It's called "Stop, You're Exercising Wrong." Sorry, I can't remember the name of the author, but if you google the title, his name sounds Polish. In his opinion, jumping rope is the best exercise you can do. From reading a lot about it, I have learned that the best place to jump is on suspended wood (like an aerobics studio). People have said it before, but don't double jump - one jump per rope revolution. A cheap plastic rope always works the best for me. Just so you know, I've always started out my routine by number of jumps. I usually start with 200 revolutions, then I walk around for about 30 seconds to 1 minute (depending upon how tired I am). I repeat this routine until I've jumped at least 1000 revolutions. While I jump, I concentrate on a place on the wall in front of me -it helps me keep my balance and keeps me concentrating. You DO NOT need to jump for a certain amount of minutes to make this effective. Start off small and build up, so you keep it up. I just started a weight loss plan two weeks ago, again, and I do a machine (eliptical, treadmill, bike) for 25-30 minutes, then the jump roping routine. I've lost about 7lbs so far. (Yes, I have modified my diet). Today, I worked out for 20 minutes on the stationary bike (which kills me), then a half a mile jog, then 10 minutes on the eliptical. I finished with my jump roping. I felt good enough to try so I did 600 repetitions, then took a minute walk, and finsihed with the last 400 repetitions. Finally, for people who believe they can't do this, I started out two weeks ago at 201 lbs (the highest I've ever been in my life). You don't have to be incredibally fit or thin. This is the last time I will start out this way...I'm going to keep it off this time. Skeptics...try it! It is fabulous. Jump roping is amazing.

Yesterday, I jumped rope for 35 minutes, with the following routine: 30 seconds jumping, resting 15 seconds, 30 seconds jumping, repeat. So, in a one minute period, I jump for 45 seconds and rest 15 seconds. After 30 minutes of this cycle, I burned around 550 calories. Plus, my calves get an amazing workout! I hope to be able to get to 1 minute of jumping and 15 seconds of rest by the end of March. With that pace, I should be burning well over 600 calories in a half hour. It's not easy at the beginning, but it's well worth it!
