Jump rope is one of the best cardio workouts you can get. An average woman burns approximately 424 calories with 45 minutes of moderate rope jumping and you could burn up to 1,200 calories with 45 minutes of intense jump rope exercises. (Calories burned varies by weight.) The best part is you can get a jump rope for around two dollars. Buy one and begin a jump rope workout!
