JUMP ROPE vs. RUNNING: Which is Better for YOU?

Jump rope is an excellent method for developing cardio, losing weight and enjoying yourself during the process. Though many people prefer running to jump rope when attempting to achieve the same benefits. This video is a comparison of the two, featuring youtubers Nicklas Rossner and Dan from Jump Rope Dudes. Listen to these two talk about why they love their respective fitness modalities and see if you team jump rope, team running, or perhaps team cross training.

The fact you took the comments and got experts and did a segment on it the strengths of both is exactly why I'm subscribed to this channel. I love this channel.

I absolutely prefer rope skipping.
Much more fun, much less space needed.
Much better for joints.
Great for bettering body coordination, and footwork.
It is perfect to accompany kickboxing and dancing classes that I regularly attend.

From the video, I gather that if you're more competitive and goal oriented, then running is your master, but if you want to build a skill set, have fun, and workout anywhere, then jumping rope rules.

I love jumping rope. I love the freedom it gives my mind, I love moving my body and feet in different ways to my music, and I just love the fun!

Kettlebell training is where’s it’s at. Forgot who said this, but you get the muscle pump with the runners high.

I love how both of their favorite training methods came down to sprint work. Just train to sprint.

Berber from Nouredine Morcelis Tribe here, love running and hated skip rope.
Then I had to skip rope because of boxing and muay thai training, started to love it.
Either is amazing.
Man God is so good He have us options.

Skipping is easier to be consistent with. If it's raining, dark or cold, there are no excuses for skipping a workout. It's fun and less unpleasant than running, so you're more likely to stick with it. With running, I find the mental benefits surpass every other workout method. There is something about pushing through a 30 minute run that makes your mind capable of pushing through any unpleasant task. Tasks that I would usually put off until the next day, and the next day, become easier to start and finish when I've been running consistently. A mix of both is the way to go for me. I try to run each morning, but if there's bad weather, or I'm just not up for running, I skip rope. This is also better for recovery. You can do cardio literally every day by mixing things up.

i jump rope because it allows you to to improve your conditioning whilst remaining in 1 location., so i can do it in my backyard. whereas running requires quite abit of distance.

The best cardio ive found for me is rucking. Its insanely easy to scale. Burns a lot of calories, builds lower body and core. And if you usea hr monitor your cardio improves fast ( when i super set lifts my hr can hit 160, within a min of rest it drops back down to 60). It also has more utility IRL, carrying heavy stuff is a common everyday activity. Just some knowledge for those that dont enjoy either running or jumping.

i'm team jump rope, running's good sometimes

[raiaiorfa]

I used to run, but I switched to jump rope. It is incredibly fun, especially you when listen to music and match your feet to the rhythm, just like Dan said. I swear you won't want to stop.

I was an elite runner and jumped rope also. Jumping rope is great but running is king because it’s way more versatile. You can do LSD ( long slow distance, ) sprints, intervals, fartlek( long distance with intervals mixed in, ) hard fast paced distance, hill work outs distance or sprinting. It represents realistic foot to ground contact better than jumping rope also. It is simply the king of aerobic training. I was also a high level basketball player and ring fighting kick boxer. Nothing compared to running

[Philipp_-cpxw]

Both is cool bit I feel like when you just want to get fit fast anywhere jumping rope is better.Bit when you are on vacation lets say at the beach running can be beautiful too.

[bettersoundforbetterlife]

I did both while training for my first 5k and i believe the jump rope saved me twice from severely rolling my ankle.

Your content is amazing, you truly deserve the best.

I've been doing jump ropes, running and squatting all for a while ... im gonna add planks too . The combination makes it less boring to workout . Although, not much weight lost, i feel energetic through out the day and calves muscles started showing ❤
