    Hi, you skipping for an hour will not burn any more 240 calories, I kilo of fat has over 7000 calories, hence at that rate it will take you almost 2 and a half month to just loose one kgs of fat. But i you devote the same amount of time to the program i have been a part of for the past two months you will be a much happier person. i think my personal experience might help you in your quest to loose your weight. i was about a 115 kgs till about two months back, now i weigh 93 kgs. I personal was not very comfortable going to a gym because of my weight, and tired a whole lot of stupid stuff to get back into shape, with every time i failed i felt more discouraged. One day i found this company called X-attack through google. their concept looked really interesting , it was a extreme 90 days based in home training program, with ton of workout to do at home, and a hot shot nutritionist dedicated to make program for you, they even had a free fitness consultation number their so i called them. They really seemed to know a lot about the anatomy of a body , and nutrition and all that stuff. I have been of this program for a a little over 2 months, My body is finally talking a shape, i still have a long way to go but the way does look promising. I did all this by workout out and eating right . No crazy pills , crash diet , or stupid creams, my hard work. the workout includes ton of workouts styles including Yoga attack or as people like to call POWER YOGA all of them can be done at home without any equipments . But you kinda do have to be motivated and to follow this program as its not a cake walk, but if you do live through it then the results are worth the pain. The program actually is not only making me loose weight but is also helping me get into a great shape for the first time in my life.They are a Canadian based company that recently started in India. I hope this ends your quest to loose weight effectively . here is their web link if you want to get more info. best of luck in get your 6 packs as that my new goal too

    Any increased physical activity that you put into your day can help to reduce weight. If skipping is an activity you can consistently and enjoyably incorporate into your lifestyle, then that is a very positive step towards weight loss.

    The key is to do it repeatedly, not just once or twice.

    yes it is a great cardio exercise and build flexibility also. but it is not advisable for a very overwieght person, as it causes joint strain and damages knees.
