Jump Rope Calories Calculator

Jump Rope Calories Calculator

Jumping rope burns more calories per minute than running for most people, which makes it a brilliant time-efficient workout. Enter your body weight, how long you skipped and the intensity, and this calculator returns the calories you burned, the rate per minute and roughly how many jumps that was. Use it to plan sessions, hit a calorie target, or compare skipping with your other cardio.

Jump rope is one of the most calorie-dense cardio options: this uses the MET method (calories = MET × 3.5 × weight in kg ÷ 200 × minutes) with MET values of about 8.8 for slow, 11.8 for moderate and 12.3 for fast skipping. Even 10–15 minutes rivals a much longer jog. The jump estimate assumes a steady cadence; this is exercise energy only and does not include your resting metabolism.
