Ht. 5'2", Wt. 188 - Did you know that if you jump rope for 30 min you'll burn 314 calories. Anyways here is my question I do double doutch and wonder if just turning the rope will burn calories.

Yes, that is arm work. But jumping rope is definately better excercise- it works your whole body!

Uh...
Just in your arms maybe.
It'll build some muscle if you do it a lot.
