Designing a workout program requires knowledge of various exercises. A well-rounded fitness routine uses both aerobic and anaerobic exercises to improve your cardiovascular and muscular systems. Jumping jacks are an aerobic exercise that do not require any equipment, so you can use them even in a home-based routine.
This aerobic exercise can achieve a burn rate of up to 1300 calories per hour of vigorous activity, with about 0.1 calories consumed per jump. Ten minutes of jumping rope can roughly be considered the equivalent of running an eight-minute mile. Since the impact of each jump or step is absorbed by both legs, jump rope may have lower risks for knee damage than running.
