MET formula

Jump rope is one of the highest-MET activities, so short sessions burn a lot.
Jump rope burns about 550–850 calories per hour, one of the highest rates of any activity. A 10-minute session can rival 30 minutes of jogging.
This calculator applies the pace MET to your weight and time and counts total jumps.
How to calculate jump rope calories
To calculate jump rope calories, apply the pace MET to your weight and hours. Faster turning raises both jumps and burn.
Worked example: moderate skipping (MET 11.8) for 15 minutes at 70 kg burns about 207 calories.
