Jump-rope Calorie Buster

The Payoff
113 calories in 10 minutes (about 100 jumps per minute)

What You'll Need
A basic rubber or cotton jump rope (about $10 at Target or Amazon.com)

This childhood favorite builds strong bones and tones your arms, shoulders, and legs. For knee-friendly landings, wear socks and sneakers with good cushioning in the forefoot, and avoid hard surfaces like tile floors. Instead, favor those with some give, such as wood.

To Get Going
March in place, lifting knees high for 1 minute to warm up. Then aim to jump at least 5 times in a row. Add on more jumps in sets of 5 until you're jumping for 9 minutes straight.

Turn your walk into a run—and drop a size in 4 weeks
