Jump Rope Calorie Calculator
Estimate how many calories a jump rope session burns based on your body weight, workout duration, and skipping pace.
How Jump Rope Calorie Burn Is Estimated
Jumping rope is a high-intensity, whole-body cardio exercise. Its calorie cost is estimated using MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) values from the Compendium of Physical Activities, which vary with how fast you skip: slower paces (under 100 skips per minute) sit around MET 8.8, moderate paces around MET 11.8, and fast paces (over 120 skips per minute) around MET 12.3.
The Formula
Calories Burned = MET × 3.5 × Body Weight (kg) / 200 × Duration (minutes). This standard formula scales a MET value and your body weight over the length of your session to estimate total energy expenditure.
Notes on Accuracy
Actual burn varies with jump rope technique, rest breaks, and fitness level, so use this as a general workout-planning estimate rather than an exact measurement.
