“Jumping rope is the exercise that burns the most calories of all. Five minutes jumping are equivalent to an hour of continuous running, it’s outrageous”, insists Pinto. “It is an intense training that we have made fun. Jumping rope prevents osteoporosis because the bones are strengthened. The important thing is to jump correctly, it has less impact than running.”
