Jump rope

Thoughts on jump roping for cardio? I hate running and I feel like im going to get hit by a car on a bike. It seems efficient and easy to do indoors. Also improves coordination and footwork.

      Good to know, how do I stop jumping so high to clear the rope? This girl is barely an inch up and I feel like I'm going up half a foot.

        Timing, but mostly speed. The faster the rope moves the less time you need in air to clear it. Need to get your timing right otherwise you'll just keep hitting your feet.

        She weighs literally nothing and has tons of practice.

        Youtube "boxer step"
        Jump from one foot to the other, not on both feet
        Don't lift your feet up at all (e.g. don't skip like a little girl) just move your weight left to right to left
        Aim to land just after the rope has passed under your feet
        Count every rep you do before messing up and try to beat your record over and over

        How does jumping rope compare to running?

        Less stress, more shoulder/arm activity, can do indoors (without treadmill), possibly better for calves but not sure (def not any worse)

          No, very high impact actually. Impact is good though, makes one hard

    You can just jump up and down without a rope, does the same thing (cardio) without having to swing a rope around like a moron.

      doesnt do much in terms of coordination and timing without a rope. it also forces you to keep good posture

    Kind of gay unless you're training for a martial art. Running is better because it's higher impact, swimming is better because it's full body.

    It's great fun. If you buy weighted one it's even easier because you can feel where the rope is + it's more efficient. Besides helping me with weight loss, it also helped me with my spatial awarness/balance. Used to have a big problems with it.

      Mainly your ankles/toes + calves take the impact and less if you are wearing shoes.

      They can take more than your knees can.

    Can you really jump rope for 30+ minutes as cardio? I feel like your calves or plantar fascia would quit before your heart/lungs.
