Jump Rope or Jogging

[T.H.E. Goat]

Either way you are introducing some form of impact on your knee which doesn’t seem wise. Biking if you have the range of motion in your knee and walking. Walking with pace is very underrated.

All of this

Knee injury… you can hit the heavy bag or use a row machine. Very effective.

Jump rope is much better exercise for the amount of time you have to do it. 10 minutes of jump rope is equal to running an 8 minute mile.

that said, you will get jumpers knee if you don’t prepare your legs properly. Each day, before you start, you need to do about 10 minutes of squats, leg raises, and other exercises focusing on your knees. Do that for a couple months and your body will adjust to the stress you’re putting on it by jumping every day.

also, don’t try to be a hero out the gate. Start by doing 200 skips a day, let your body adjust, and slowly work your way up to a higher number (I currently do 1200-1600 per day, depending on the day).

Jogging >

Jump rope is easy to stop any time.

Go outside for a jog and even if you stop you still gotta walk all the way back home. If it's cold your ass ain't stopping unless you want to freeze. Great motivator to keep running

jogging but only on paths like a park or even a track. I despise jogging through neighborhoods. I use to jump rope many times in the 2000s. Don't do that now.

Swimming over both though.

jumping rope.. but I swear I gotta do it in short intervals. hell, I developed slight knee pain and plantar jumping rope. Just do it for bout 5 minutes at a time.

Both are Good but I think Jump rope is better IMO.

Buy you a rubber mat to jump on to soften up the impact on you knee. Also do some accessory work to strengthen those muscles around your knees.

To key to jumping is jumping just high enough to allow the rope to go through. I see way to many people jumping like they about to grab rebounds.

If your knee is fukked up just have lots of sex till the calories burn off.....

 

[MajesticLion]

If you have a pool near you, go swimming.

If your knee is fukked up, don't do either.

Jogging. Jump rope is hell on your legs if they aren't healthy.

....and jogging isn't??....

You aren't jumping off the ground and landing repeatedly.

nikka what???........

fill a bag fulll of old clothes, hang somewhere and use it as a heavy bag.

The best non legs cardio you can do is battle ropes, it’s intense cardio and builds your stamina and arms. Another decent option is rowing, stair master is good too not that heavy of impact on your knees cause you’re always stepping up, finally walking the treadmill on a high incline. There’s this popular treadmill workout called 12/3/30 basically 12 incline/ 3 speed/ 30 minutes.

Jogging and especially jump rope are not good options in your situation

 

[IsThatBrothaMouzone?]

In order of best to worst on your knees?

Swimming >>> running on a treadmill >>> running on concrete >>> jump rope

 

[Pseudonym]

Neither, if you are recovering from a slight knee sprain
