Jump Rope Calorie Calculator
Estimate calories burned jumping rope by weight, duration, and jump intensity.
Jump Rope Calorie Calculator
This Jump Rope Calorie Calculator estimates calories burned during rope skipping using the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) formula. Enter your body weight, jumping time, and skip rate to see total energy expenditure and calories per minute.
The Jump Rope Calorie Formula
Calorie rate = MET × weight (kg) × 7 / 400 gives calories per minute. Multiply by jumping time in minutes for total burn. A 70 kg person skipping at 120 skips per minute (MET 11.8) for 15 minutes burns roughly 217 kcal.
Choosing Your Jump Rate
Slower skipping at 100 skips per minute or less uses MET 8.8. A moderate pace of 100 to 120 skips per minute uses MET 11.8. Fast skipping at 120 to 160 skips per minute uses MET 12.3. Jump rope burns calories at a rate comparable to running and cycling.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many calories does jumping rope burn per minute?
About 17 calories per minute for a 181 lb person at 120 skips per minute. Heavier individuals and faster skip rates burn more calories per minute.
How many calories does 15 minutes of jump rope burn?
A 70 kg person at moderate intensity (MET 11.8) burns roughly 217 kcal in 15 minutes. Results vary with weight and skip rate.
Is jump rope good for weight loss?
Yes. Jump rope is high-intensity cardio with a MET above 11 at moderate pace. Regular sessions combined with a calorie deficit support fat loss effectively.
What MET value should I use for jump rope?
Use MET 8.8 for slow skipping, MET 11.8 for 100 to 120 skips per minute, and MET 12.3 for 120 to 160 skips per minute. Enter a custom MET if you have data from a fitness tracker.
Does body weight affect jump rope calorie burn?
Yes. The formula multiplies by body weight in kilograms, so heavier individuals burn more calories for the same duration and skip rate.
