Is jumping rope good cardio? Is it as effective as running or the elliptical?

    Hi there! I'm no expert but, Jump rope is an excellent HIIT cardio workout. Can find various ones on youtube that will kick butt! In fact, I burn more calories with jump rope and sweat more than I do on the elliptical.

    I would think jumping rope is consideelrably better and more challenging. Jumping rope works several different muscles and is awesome for cardio.
