10 Ways to Burn More Calories
5. Go longer
If your typical workout is 30 minutes -- no shorter, no longer -- here's an easy way to challenge yourself. Twice a week, try adding 10 or 15 minutes to your cardio. You'll burn more calories and increase your cardiovascular endurance level, making your weekend hikes and bike rides easier. To adapt your workout to your higher fitness level, every two weeks up your intensity level by increasing resistance or incline on the machine or road.
Calorie-burning boost: Running 30 extra minutes on the treadmill each week can burn 400 calories.

I love to jump rope and agree it's a wonderful way to burn calories...but at work? On a coffee break? If you truly jump the way you should for 10 minutes, you will need a shower after each 10 minute "break"!!
It might also be tricky to find a corner in your office and jump rope in your office attire without attracting some strange looks, LOL. But if it works, hey why not?
can anyone help me? i want to lose 36 lbs in 60 days is that even possible?
I WAS AMAZED AT THIS JUMP ROPE IDEA! WOW!!
Jump Rope for 10 minutes straight. NOT A GOOD IDEA UNLESS YOU DONT SWEAT. NOONE WANTS TO WORK WITH A STINKY CO-WORKER!!
@Cheergirl1263 - that sounds dangerous. Slow and steady is the rule. If you go at it slowly you'll have a better chance of succeeding, and also have a better chance of keeping the weight off. Don't crash diet! Very bad for you.
