jump rope as cardio...

[bullish]

anything that gets your heart running is OK.

Just bear in mind that jump rope burns more calories than running, is a high intensity form of cardio and can be bad for your joints if done for too long.

tell me about joints.. I am one that is NEVER AGAIN in my life doing the HIIT circus...

One of the best forms of cardio in my books.Does anyone know how long per day one should skip without burning of too much mass?

I take Boxing and we do 8 minutes of jumprope before every class to get warmed up. It's a great exercise, and I'm always amazed at how many people can't jump rope.

I was the clumsiest retard when I started with it, but love it now. Kicks my ass.
