When most people hear the word "skipping," they might reminisce about carefree days in schools, however, at GymQuip we deal exclusively in skipping ropes for adults.

There are a surprising number of benefits that come from using a skipping rope as a fitness tool. It forms an intense cardio workout that can efficiently burn calories and improve fitness, while also enhancing your coordination.
As an effective way to burn calories, skipping can certainly reduce body fat, but as with all exercise, there’s no real way to target the specific areas that you want to move that fat from. Skipping does help to strengthen your core though, so if you do begin to move excess fat from your stomach, you might even see some of those ab muscles pushing through!
