What does this tool do?
Rope skipping is a high-MET activity that mixes lower-body work with arm and shoulder effort. Even short sessions add up, so this calculator estimates per-session and weekly energy use.
The Formula
Calories = MET × 3.5 × weight (kg) ÷ 200 × minutesFrequently Asked Questions
How many calories does skipping burn per minute?
At a moderate steady pace the estimate is roughly 10–14 kcal/min for a 70 kg adult. Lighter or heavier bodies scale up and down with weight.
Does the weight of the rope matter?
A heavier rope adds some arm and shoulder work, but pace, rest and body weight dominate. The estimate does not adjust for rope type.
