i heard jumping rope is even better than running. I do it and the results are great. I used to smoke and jumping rope seemed to clear all that ish out

i have my doubts on rather jump roping is better than running...but one thing is for sure, it's a hell of a lot more fun.

Plus, I think it depends on if you continuously jump rope....it's a hell of a cardio workout if you do it continuously and incorporate some double unders, side to side movement and little tricks with the rope with your arms.

not necessarily that hiit excercise (though it does work well), but at that kind of speed

and when you mess up don't rest, get right back on it
