Why a Treadmill (zero impact running machine) burns LOT MORE the calories then jumping rope?
hi folks!
i’ve been at the gym for 5 months now, i have been noticing that in the Treadmill (zero impact running machine) i can burn up to 500 calories in 30 minutes (with a high level of resistence) with no struggle at all, its very easy, very confotable and no impact at all!……..
but, jumping rope gives me a hard time!! i started doing just 30 seconds straight~!!! stoping and 30 seconds more,, now a day i do 10 minutes straight thanks God! but my question is….
why jumping rope being the hardest cardio routine i’ve ever done in my life, burns less calories than the treadmill in which one i can run over it for hours without even feeling tired.
(on a website i found they say you can burn up to 400 calories in 30 minutes if you go really fast! and if you NEVER STOP! LOL http://www.self.com/fitness/activity/calculators/jumping_rope )
i weight 175 pounds and hight 6’1”, i jump 120 times per minute…
please a good answer needed!

No expert here, but my guess is that in jumping rope your Heart Rate goes up but you are not using all the muscles you use on the treadmill. Jumping rope is hands, wrists and feet and legs.
The treadmil you are using most of the muscles you have so you burn more calories. Your heart pumpind does not burn many calories but muscle useage does.
