Are step jumps cardio exercises? Would you know how to calculate the calories burned when doing them? Thanks for the help :)

    Box jumps are absolutely cardio!!! And really effective:) Are you incorporating them into your workout as interval training? Use a stop watch, my HR gets up to 180 w/ 3 min of box jumps. Do you do CrossFit? Also I would log as interval training but if you're doing a lot of interval type work get a HRM so you get a better idea of what your burn is.
