Skipping is the simple, quick method that anyone (including YOU) can use to start burning fat, fast. And the best thing is you can do it anywhere – at home, at the gym, in a hotel room!
Skipping is one of the most efficient types of exercise for burning calories.

Skipping involves the whole body, and more muscles, so burns more calories. Not only that, it can add definition to the calves and shoulders, which work hard.
