skipping is hardcore it's not primary girl sport. boxers skip a lot. it's nuts and works your calves so hard. i skip for like 15-20 mins the best way to do it is to listen to music and add up the time each song goes for.

you're dreaming
it's an exercise in itself, and there's so many variations/styles and fun things you can do with jumping rope, you'll never get bored.
Just check out Ross Enamait

jumping rope is a really good cardio if you can do it for 20 minutes. my opinion is go jog or brisk walking for 30 minutes everyday, you will see the difference. people out there doesn't really care how you run...

Yeah, rope jumping is alot harder than running. It takes endurance and concentration.

This doesn't look like it takes alot of effort, but hell, it takes alot more effort than running I'm pretty sure.

read more on jumping rope...it is one of the most valuable ways to spend your time. Steady state cardio, such as running, road biking, etc are basically useless, but better than nothing in terms of fat loss. It is a latter of intensity. Understand?
