Speed rope, aka jumping or skipping rope, is one of the most effective workouts you can do in a jiffy. This cardio exercise works on your arms, legs and core. It’s good for your bones, and improves your coordination, agility and balance.
Even better, it torches calories like no other exercise—500 calories per hour for a 100-pound man. Up the pace to 10 mph and it will burn up to 850 calories per hour, according to the American Heart Association.
Still not enough? Raise your knees higher while running, or jump with one foot.
