i like working out in a my bedroom i just need to get my cardio. soo yeaa :)

Answer #3

You will have to do it for about 30mins nonstop to actually get benefits

Answer #4

movement of jumping rope is faster than running so there must be a difference between the two. However, you can do the jumping rope when it is raining outside. Both give good benefits.

Answer #5

10 minutes of jump rope is the equivilent of 30 minutes running, so yes, its an excellent substitute.
