Aerobic exercise or commonly known as \u2018cardio\u2019 is one of the best known and most practised forms of exercise since childhood. This type of activity consists of high-impact and endurance sessions, which is why it can be exhausting and why people prefer to practice other types of sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
However, knowing the benefits that aerobic exercises have for our cardiovascular system, this type of activity has been transformed into short intervals of intensive body exercise such as HIIT, Parkour or Crossfit.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
When we talk about cardio, the first exercise that comes to mind is running. Running for half an hour at a speed of 10 kilometres per hour burns 270 calories. However, jumping for 30 minutes expends 330 calories.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Like running, skipping is a high-impact aerobic exercise. The advantages are numerous, but can be summarised as follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
You don’t need equipment.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Increased balance and coordination, improving the proprioceptive system and developing reflexes (vestibular system).<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Develops bone mass. The constant jumping generates \u2018stress\u2019 on the bones and forces the body to strengthen its bone structure.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Develops the speed of the muscles, and therefore their power.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
It works all the muscles in the body simultaneously.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Strengthens the most important muscle in your body: the heart.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Jumping is an excellent complement to exercise routines. It is a very complete activity because it allows you to use your legs, arms and abdomen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
