Skipping - Calories per hour ?

[Superbabe]

Anyone know (roughly) the calories per hour for skipping (witha rope)? I'm road testing my options for cardio (I can't face the treadmill ANYMORE !!!!).

Thanx

If you can skip rope for an hour you should be Rocky's stunt double!! Skipping rope is HARD!!! I think it burns way more than 400-600 kcals/hour.

mmm feels like 4000......I'm sure I lost 6lbs doing a minute.......but I figure that runners are skinny and boxers are big so I'm gonna skip not run......there's logic in there somewhere
