Is this a good workout - 30 sec Jumping Jacks then 30 sec walking- for 20-30 min (depending on other exercise with it)?

I'm wondering if is an effective cardio workout? If you have any suggestions to make it tougher, please let me know!

    Do you have a jump rope? I do 2 min jump rope followed by 45 second mountain climbers (you could replace with jumping jacks) followed by 15 second rest. Do it for 10 intervals and you have a nice 30 min workout!

    On 30DS they have a bit to use a jump rope but they just say to hold your arms ridgid as if you had a jump rope and move them in circles (as if you had a rope) and jump - no rope needed
