    I prefer jumping rope because I can REALLY feel the burn. And as far as calories, it just depends how fast/long you do either one for. Personally, I burn more jumping rope!

    Rope is better for fitness. Jacks are better for not tripping and falling and breaking out all your teeth. (Ok, so I only know one person that happened to and really it was only four teeth but I still use it as an excuse not to jump rope.)
