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.
Calorie Goals. How much you jump will also depend on how many calories you want to burn. If you want to burn only 100 or 200 calories a day, then you should jump at a comfortably hard pace for 10 minutes. If you wish to burn up to 350 calories per day, then jump rope at a challenging pace for 20 minutes.
