Teenager jumps rope 228 times in just 30 seconds

Skipping or jumping rope is an excellent exercise to improve general fitness. It is very beneficial for young adults as it known to increase height and regulate metabolism.

The jumping rope exercise can also be combined with other aerobic workouts like jumping jacks and shuffles.

The exercise is popular among cardio enthusiasts for its effectiveness and simplicity as it only requires a rope and the ability to jump frequently. But the question that generates a lot of curiosity among athletes and seasoned jumpers is how many jumps can be done in a minute or 30 seconds.  

Well, the question has just been answered in a record-breaking fashion by a teenager from China.

Cen Xiaolin, competing at the 6th Double Dutch Contest, jumped the rope an incredible 228 times in just 30 seconds in the "most alternate step skips in 30 seconds" event. By doing so, he set a new Guinness World Record.

The competition was held in Shanghai where as many as 400 skippers from Australia, France, Japan, South Korea, and China had entered as participants.

The teenager broke his own record of 208 jumps that he had set back in 2016.
