Running is hard work (i.e. a lot of mileage has to be done for the burning of calories to be effective; plus it has to be done regularly and combined with a sensible and appropriate diet. It can also be damaging to your joints if running on the 'wrong' surfaces in the wrong shoes.

To tone up and lose weight, skipping is an excellent exercise; 2 x 5 minutes a day will have you toned in no time.

And have some fast motivational music blaring out from speakers, not your MP3 player (it'll get shaken to bits). .

Adjust length accordingly by standing in the centre of the rope and have the handles under each armpit. Most surface are OK to skip on, but not grass, carpets etc. And look out for lights, wall- and ceiling fittings etc.
