These numbers are for an adult of about 70 kg. Weigh more and you burn more, weigh less and it's a bit less.

A rope costs less than a takeaway and fits in any bag. The hard part is the first week, when you trip every few seconds and wonder why you ever liked it at school.
Tips

- 3Leave the rope by the door so you can do ten minutes before work.
