Start skipping

Guess what, doing just 10 minutes of skipping can yeild similar results to 45 minutes running.

Fat burning is only one of the great things you can get from skipping, others include, core strength, increase in strength and tone the whole body.

Try these different combinations for a varied workout:

Double foot bounce - both feet bounce off the floor together between each skip.
Single foot bounce - one flat foot bounces off the floor whilst the other foot is held of the ground slightly.
Alternating feet - only one foot bounces off the floor between each skip.
Star jump - both feet bounce off the ground at the same time (double) then with the next skip feet move apart to either side.
Side to side - imagine a line on the floor directly beneath you, alternate landing on each side of the line with both feet together    

Try this for 10 mins per day for 2 weeks, using some or all of these techniques, if you find it hard, then start simple and build it up through the week.
