is jumping rope really good cardio? I have had someone tell me that 30 min of jumping rope is as good or better than 30 minutes of jogging.seems like bullshit to me, but what does /fit/ think about it? is it a good alternative to running?
15 minutes of HIIT is better then both.
>>436788im looking for something indoors, i can do a steady jog indoors but i dont really have the space for hiit
>>436798just do squats really fast.
why do you think boxers jump rope?
>>436901Hand/eye/foot coordination
>>436901Because they were picked on in grade school for skipping rope; they desire for their youthful tormentors to challenge their masculinity once again, now that they have cultivated the skill to pummel them properly.
>>436788Or do HIIT with a jump rope
Jumping rope is FAR superior to running as far as burning calories. like 2-4x
10 mins jumping rope = 30 minutes joggingBut watch your knees and ankles.
