hey
does jump roping help on stamina as much as jogging will do? I know jump roping helps out on a lot more things as well, like muscle building.
If i were to stop jogging for a month, and start jump roping every day and then one month later I get on the treadmeal, could I go the same distance before if not farther?
Thanks
could someone post the advantages for jogging and jump roping, ive been wanting to find the difference between to two for a while.
Ive always done skipping more than jogging and it changed everything about my fitness in a matter of weeks.
Id say do no more than 20 minutes a day, but i dont think you need to be doing it everyday unless your training for a professional fight.
And those treadmills ain't good for you so i hear, especially for your joints.
Its and interesting point though, maybe ill start jogging and compare the two.
there are both excellent cardio,but i like skipping cause it helps with cordination,timing and footwork......i do 3min rds of intense skipping with 60 secs rest in between rds..but ofcourse as we get fitter u can move up to 4 min rds with 30 sec break...but make sure u mix it up and dont skip in the same spot,try some doubles and criss crosses and concentrate on foot work!
....now i no pro by enymeans, but have a go at what ive suggested,its an awsome work gets the heart rate pumping...if u dont now how to skip, just watch a video on utube of a pro and try to emulate them..actually ill post a clip from rossboxing, this guys pretty good with a rope ;D

Skipping for boxing far outweigths joging.It works and cordinnates the muscles so much better, and gives a more related posture while doing it
You guys know if it will burn more calories? I herd 5 minutes of jump roping = 15 minutes of jogging,
what im saying is it also a good way to burn fat?
if u want to burn fat,skipping is good but go for a run is probably better for fat burning,try skipping for 3 minutes,i garantee you'll be out of breath, compared to 3 minutes of running ;DQuote:

does jump roping also tone up your whole body, arms legs shoulders ? does it also gain muscle mass? right now i can go for about 1m then i have to stop (i know i just started) but I love to go about 30 secs later for another round, but faster, I start to get a huge burn which i know is good.
Not good for muscle mass no. Endurance yes.
You wont build muscle mass skipping, its a weight loss exercise and muscular endurancew exercise. Pretty much impossible to add on weight while skipping, unless you're eating like 3000 calories a day.
