One of the biggest Skipping Rope benefits
is that
it's a total-body workout, incorporating your arms and shoulders as much
as it does your legs. It also gives poor posture a helping hand by
encouraging you to pull your shoulders back and out of the hunched
posture in which you probably spend most of your day. Science concurs:
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.
