How It Works

MET Formula

Calories = MET × weight_kg × duration_hours. MET varies by pace: slow 8.8, moderate 11.8, fast 12.3, double-unders 14.0.

Jump Counter

Enter your jump count for cal/jump estimate. Useful for interval training when you track reps. Compare to duration-based estimate.

Equivalent Running

Calorie burn from jump rope is compared to running at ~6 mph (9.8 MET). 10 min rope ≈ 30 min jogging for same weight.

Expert Tips

Start with 10 min sessions. Build to 20–30 min for sustained calorie burn.
Use the jump counter for interval training. Track reps per set.
Double-unders burn most but require skill. Master basics first.
Proper rope length: stand on center, handles should reach armpits.

Sample Calculation

150 lb person, 10 min moderate (11.8 MET). Weight: 150/2.205 = 68 kg. Duration: 10/60 = 0.167 hr.

Cal = 11.8 × 68 × 0.167 ≈ 134 cal

Equivalent: ~30 min jogging at 6 mph for same burn.
