Is skipping actually good cardio or is it just a meme?

It's great for HIIT, but for steady cardio it's just too boring compared to jogging

with enough intensity for a long enough time, it is good cardio

obviously doing 1 rep a minute isn't going to do shit but i can't give you a good range

Rope skipping is the only thing that everyone agrees is not a meme

Well I just started I try to do what I saw on some boxin website which was 3 x 5 minute rounds, I can roughly do 100-110 jumps a minute.

Did you 1 jump per second?

If you just started boxing, skipping is good for cardio, but it's more important because it develops hand-foot coordination and helps you learn how to move on the balls of your feet, and teaches you how to be light footed

Learn some tricks while you're at it

especially nr. 14 will have everyone mirin, even though it's easy af:

Keep going. When you can get to 150-180 jumps per minute you'll feel cardio.

Alternate the two footed jump and the running in place style every minute.
I do 4 x 800 jumps in 4 minutes with 3 minute walk in between. Pretty good HIIT

jesus christ , most of this shit is so redundant it hurts to watch.I can understand that if you jump rope for like 1-2 years for cardio you would learn some of this stuff out of boredom/novelty but for cardio purposes its just useless, except ofc for shit like high knees, side to side etc, something that can actually strain/train you more but when you look at that chick doing some fucking 'kreager' or shit... thats just next level of special olympics, like who do you want to impress?children?fatties?Oh and one more thing if those are 'begginer' tricks i want to see those 'advanced/pro' ones.

next thing you retards are going to defend would be 'learning tricks while jogging', why not put your hands together and jump though them while you run?TRICKS!

as some of those are not really tricks but beneficial variations of jump rope, trying to fucking rationalize mentioned 'kreager or whatever' means you are just hipster children trying to be cool or something.

Go on amazon and look for a steel wire one. They're about 7 bucks or so.

Measurement is more important than anything. Stepping on the middle, the rope ends should be level with your armpits (not including handles)

Not really.
