Is 20 minutes of jump roping just as good as 20 minutes of running/jogging?

Asked by Zone36 (416points) January 10th, 2011

On the days where it’s raining heavily outside I don’t want to run in that. Would replacing my regular cardio with jump roping be sufficient?

I understand I wouldn’t be hitting the same target muscles, but I think it would be enough of a workout in general.

What are the benefits and problems of switching between these two exercises?
