Jump Rope Calorie Calculator
Jumping rope / skipping. Estimate based on weight, duration, and intensity.
Methodology
Uses MET value of 11.0 for moderate jump rope. Formula: Calories = MET x weight(kg) x hours. Based on the Compendium of Physical Activities.
FAQ
How many calories does jump rope burn?
A 70 kg person burns approximately 770 calories per hour at moderate intensity.
Is jump rope good for weight loss?
Yes, jump rope can burn significant calories and contribute to a calorie deficit for weight loss.
What MET value is used?
Moderate jump rope has a MET value of approximately 11.0.
How does intensity affect calorie burn?
Higher intensity increases the MET value and thus calorie burn. Vigorous effort can burn 50-100% more.
How many calories does 100 jump rope skips burn?
About 16 calories for a 70 kg person at moderate pace (~80 skips/min, MET 11). A faster cadence of 140 skips/min still burns roughly the same total — calories track time and intensity, not skip count alone.
How many calories does 500 jump rope skips burn?
About 80 calories for a 70 kg person at moderate pace, or roughly 6 minutes at 80 skips/min. Vigorous pace shortens the time but raises the MET, so the total stays close.
How many calories does 1000 jump rope skips burn?
About 160 calories for a 70 kg person at moderate pace, or 12–13 minutes at 80 skips/min. Trained athletes hitting 140 skips/min finish in 7 minutes with roughly the same total.
How long does 1000 jump rope skips take?
Around 12–13 minutes at a sustainable moderate cadence of 80 skips/min. Beginners with frequent restarts often need 20+ minutes; trained athletes finish under 7 minutes.
How many jump rope skips to burn 200 calories?
About 1250 skips for a 70 kg person at moderate pace, roughly 15 minutes of work at 80 skips/min. Lighter or slower needs proportionally more.
How many calories does 15 minutes of jump rope burn?
About 192 calories for a 70 kg person at moderate intensity (MET 11), or up to ~245 at vigorous (MET 14). Heavy enough to count as a full cardio session.
