Amazon shoppers say £13 exercise product is equivalent to a 30-minute run

Amazon shoppers have been snapping up a £13 exercise product that's 'equivalent to a 30-minute run'.

The Te-Rich Skipping Rope takes the classic jump rope, but injects it with some high-tech so you can see exactly how much good it's doing you as you use it. It normally costs £16.98, but has been slashed to £13.58 as one of Amazon's flash limited time deals.

Few people realise that rope skipping is one of the most efficient calorie-burning workouts you can do, with ten minutes of skipping the equivalent of 30 minutes running. You can do it from the comfort of your own home, as well as in the garden or park, without having to fork out for a pricey gym membership.

It comes with weighted handles, which allow you to work more muscle groups than your average rope, giving a full-body workout. It works your legs, core, and arms, for a cardio and strength training workout.

One of the handles is equipped with a backlit LCD screen, which will tell you how many calories you're burning, so you can watch them 'melt away'. It will also show you how many jumps you're doing, as well as how long you are training based on your weight.

The Te-Rich skipping rope uses anti-slip handles with short leads attached to mimic the feel of skipping with a real rope without actually needing to swing one around, making it ideal for those working out in smaller spaces. In a nutshell, it allows you to get all the calorie burning benefits of a traditional jumping rope, without the interruptions of tripping on the rope.

It has over 3,700 five-star ratings from Amazon shoppers. People love how it shows what you're
