Jump Rope or Jogging

I need to see your booty before I make my final decision..

yall old head muffukkas shouldn't be jumping rope, and jogging isn't great either honestly
use a bike or a pool(I hate swimming tho) for cardio that'll protect your joints
I personally love the jump rope though as a youngin who may continue their athletics career. I believe it has a lot of benefits for developing the kind of stiffness needed in the ankle, achilles, and knees necessary for explosive movements like jumping and sprinting

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).

Swimming….

If you have a pool near you, go swimming.

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

This. @Pseudonym jogging and jumping rope are probably the last things you want to do if the joints in your lower are ailing you right now.

I'd try the elliptical if you can get one at your place but even better than that

Also an Airdyne bike would be great for you too at the moment

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

I wouldn't recommend a row machine with knee problem. Heavy bag like you recommende or the elliptical for less impact

 

[patscorpio]

do both for the ultimate cardio

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

I disagree.

It is easier to set realistic goals with jump rope. I typically use it as part of a warm up: 4 rounds of skipping, 2 rounds of shadow boxing.

Do you have access to the arm bike?

 

[Macallik86]

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.

Also wanna cosign biking. Ranks behind swimming but ahead of everything else imo. Better for your joints than jogging and more interesting than skipping, especially once you start exploring your neighborhood or local bike paths.

I personally like to jump rope. I prefer that over jogging.
