Redpill me on skipping rope. Is it the ultimate form of cardio?
I keep hitting my shins every time I do this
Can I just jump up and down instead? It'll look moronic but it's better than embarassing myself
keep your hands at hip level, my guess is that the more you tire out the more you lift your hands up
How about you try actually learning and improving upon something for once in your life?
Jumping in place isn't very mentally stimulating so it gets boring quick. I'd rather run or play a sport
Bro you are dumb as shit

You probably believe some dumb like bending your knee all the way will damage it. Dumbasses really believe that
>You probably believe some dumb like bending your knee all the way will damage
Selectively true.
Hideous fatties have a layer of fat on their thighs and calves.
When they go down the fat doesn't move out of the way, it sort of stops them from bending, but also adds a lever action pressure increase on their knee.
Like the top of the shin moves away from the bottom of the thigh bone so there's more of a gap behind the knee cap.
Fat people won't tell you this.
I won't draw it for you.
>more efficient than running
It's practically the same movement.
Jump rope is more strain on the joints though
>the ultimate form of cardio
It depends on what your goal is. Weightloss? Conditioning?
room temperature iq take. considering low catabolic effects of cardio, it serves strict and binary premise - aerobic endurance training. even considering different factors, skipping rope mogs everything hard regarding impact, efficiency, energy expenditure and overall physical stimulation. so case-related optimization is out of question consideri g bounds of OP's question
You write like a homosexual. Stop.
>Stop.
no, you brainlet, window licking wienersucker. kys
I need to jump rope more as my boxing warmup but I just dont' bother
Why skip rope when I can hop in place? Costs even less than buying the rope.
because it forces good posture and it gives coordination gains which you wouldnt get by just jumping. every. single. jump. rope. thread.
It's probably the most stolen item from the sporting goods/camping section of my local Walmart. I don't know why because I've never seen a Tyrone jumping rope but they're always piles of ripped up packaging from the jump ropes laying on the shelf.
The sheboon does double dutch with them
It's a great form of cardio, but no form of cardio is the ultimate. There are pros and cons for all of them.
>takes zero space
Ha!
>>more efficient than running
>He thinks it's about efficiency
Ha! Back to Physics 1/Biology 1 for you.
You forgot the most important one
>easy to skip
>more efficient than running
lol
nothing beats running as cardio
>t. pick related
it takes 5 second israelitegle to disprove this claim. no extensive research required
Running a bit faster
Rowing
Burpess/ 8 counts/ variations
Kicking a bag
Tabata squats
Hiking
>Can run a 5k in under 20 minutes
>Get gassed out from skipping rope for 3 minutes
The frick?
Does anyone ever take these on a run/distance
I do a 2 mile walk every morning(lmao2mi) and am interested in changing things up a little.(carrying plates with fingers/high knees whatever
has anyone ever skipped rope down the road?
