Is Skipping Advisable While Trying To Reduce Abdominal Fat?
I am 26yrs old woment and not married. My height is 150cms and earlier my weight is 45kg s. now a days i am getting tummy .my friend suggested me to do jump rope. i am doing 60 jumps with 2 legs and 60 jumps with 1 leg.it will take around 15mins. i completed almost 3months. now my friend said shoulder increased and now my weight is 50kgs. i am thinking my tummy is not reduced. i heared skipping is not good for ladies.can i continue skipping or not. how many jumps is good for health?
Hi, Thanks for writing in HCM. Well, skipping is a good exercise but it will not reduce your abdominal fat directly. But it will help you to burn good amount of calories. About 150 to 200 counts twice a day would be ideal to keep you fit and in good shape. You can continue skipping along with other exercises. If you want to particularly reduce abdominal fat, you need to do exercise meant for abdomen only (abs). You can contact any fitness trainer for help in this regard. All the best.
