Do you use up more calories while skipping than while jogging?

Naturally this depends on the skipping workout you choose although "10 minutes of skipping rope at a moderate pace is roughly equivalent in aerobic exercise to running 4 km" also "You will burn about 500 calories by jumping for 30 minutes". Skipping can also be broken into more sessions a day per week. It costs less effort to start to skip (no bad weather inside) than jogging and you will burn more calories overall in the long run. Using a weighted rope gives you the benefit of an extra upper-body workout as well. So we recommend skipping over jogging as a regular cardiovascular work out any time, although jogging every other week will be a welcome break in the routine...
