If your state doesn't offer free e-file, you may find better choices this year outside of Free File. This year, for instance, TurboTax 's Federal Free Edition is offering it free, guided online tax prep service and e-filing for both federal and state returns, regardless of your income.
Calories Burned Jumping Rope. Calories burned jumping rope can work out to 15 to 20 calories per minute. The average person could burn 200 to 300 calories in a simple 15 minute jump rope workout. Not just for boxers or kids, rope jumping (skipping) can burn 25% more calories per minute than running.
10 Calories a Minute: Rope skipping can burn twice as many calories as jogging, and anywhere from 600 to 1,000 calories an hour (depending on your weight and the speed and intensity at which you're jumping). That means you'll burn, at minimum, 10 calories for every minute you can jump.
