The Exercise That Kills Cravings
The next time you feel a craving coming on, grab a jump rope. Skipping rope can help suppress hunger, according to new research from Japan.
Men who jumped rope for three 10-minute sets showed greater suppression of their appetites than those who burned a similar number of calories cycling. What's more, the effect lasted for 15 minutes after exercise.
One theory: The jumping motion may create more fatigue and muscle discomfort than a non-weight-bearing exercising like cycling does, and that discomfort can tamp down your desire for food.
