New Jump Swing Calorie Counter

Rope Jumping can and has been used by many athletes as a method of weight loss through exercise. It is important to note that weight loss through rope jumping means body fat loss.

The following table provides an estimate of calories burned as a result of rope jumping. Remember, diet, exercise and the winning attitude (lifestyle change) are all important factors in personal health and longevity.

How to use this chart:
Find your weight in the Current Weight column. .. Multiply your Current Weight by the number adjacent to your current weight, which is the Calories Per Minute (CPM) multiplier. .. Multiply the the above result by the jump roping Duration (number of minutes). Example #1: Your Current Weight = 175 lbs. Duration = 30 minutes CPM = 15.1 cpm .. Calories Burned = 15.1cpm x 30 min Calories Burned = 453 calories! .. Example#2: Your Current Weight = 175 lbs. Duration = 1 hour (60 minutes) CPM = 15.1 cpm .. Calories Burned = 15.1 x 60 Calories Burned = 906 calories! Note: Calculations for body weights above 230 lbs. require an additional multiplier of 0.4 cpm for each five pound increment in weight, beyond 230 lbs.. Example #3: Your Current Weight = 280 lbs. Duration = 30 minutes .. Five Pound Increments = (280-230)/5 = 50/5 = 10 CPM for 230 lbs. = 19.9 CPM Multiplier Correction for 280 lbs. = 10 x 0.4 = 4 cpm CPM for 280 lbs. = 19.9 cpm + 4cpm CPM for 280 lbs. = 23.9cpm .. Calories Burned = 23.9 cpm x 30 min Calories Burned = 717 calories!
