1. What is the Jump Rope Calorie Calculator?

Definition: The Jump Rope Calorie Calculator estimates the calories burned while jumping rope, based on your weight, jumping time (in hours and minutes), and pace (MET value).

Purpose: It helps you track energy expenditure during jump rope workouts, supporting goals like weight loss, cardio fitness, or enjoying this efficient exercise.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses this formula to estimate calories burned:

\[ \text{Calories Burned} = \text{MET} \times \text{Weight (kg)} \times \text{Time (hours)} \]

- MET values by pace:

Slow (<120 jumps/min): 8.8
Moderate (120-160 jumps/min): 11.8
Fast (>160 jumps/min): 12.3

- Time is input as hours and minutes, converted to hours for calculation. - Calories per minute = Total calories ÷ Total time (minutes).

3. Why Calculate Jump Rope Calories?

Details: Jumping rope burns 10-20 calories per minute, surpassing many exercises. It’s portable, boosts heart health, and this tool quantifies your effort for fitness goals.

4. Using the Jump Rope Calorie Calculator

Tips: Enter your weight, jumping time (hours and/or minutes), and select a pace. The MET value updates instantly, and results show total calories and per-minute burn to guide your workout.
