£13 weight-loss exercise solution Amazon shoppers say 'lets them watch calories melt-away' is equivalent to a 30-minute run

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

If you're looking to lose weight or to tone up for summer, but don't want to go on lengthy runs or fork out for a gym membership, then Amazon may have a fun solution.

Ten minute's use of the retailer's Te-Rich Skipping Rope is equivalent to a 30-minute run, plus it can be used anywhere for a full body workout.

The Te-Rich Skipping Rope takes the classic jump rope, but injects it with some high-tech so you can see exactly how much good it's doing you as you use it.

It normally costs £16.98, but has been slashed to £13.58 as one of Amazon's flash limited time deals. Few people realise that rope skipping is one of the most efficient calorie-burning workouts you can do, with ten minutes of skipping the equivalent of 30 minutes running, and you can do it from the comfort of your own home, as well as in the garden or park, without having to fork out for a pricey gym membership.
