Is Skipping Unsafe For Women?

Hello Doc,
I am 23 and I have been skipping regularly for years now. I have realised it helps me keep a check on my belly fat and keeps me in shape. Its easy. But I heard it isnt safe for women. Is it so? If yes then what harm can it cause me? should i stop?

Hello thanx for using hcm,

Its safe to do skipping unless you suffer fron gynaec issues or foot sprains. Infact it is good to do as it burns calories very fast.when compared to 30 minutes of brisk walk 15 minutes of skipping or running gives much more desired results.
