Best cardio out there. I dont even use cardio machines. Just jump rope during the 20-30 second between sets and you'll be good to go after an hour workout!
i'm a stationary bike guy
What's a good routine?
yes its GREAT for cardio! That's why boxers have been doing it FOREVER 
do 2 - 3 minute rounds to start, and go from there.

if you are not getting your heart rate into the target range any form of exercise you do is a waste. I see people leave the gym all the time without a drop of sweat... i mean what is the purpose of doing that
you want a good cardio workout try this

Every damn day. Skipping rope is the shit.

yup
I always wondered why one can't just do the jump rope routine without the actual rope. And still include the hand movements, its still the same thing, just without tripping yourself up every 15 seconds.
Not true, if done correctly you can absolutely jump rope to lose weight. You just have to do it at the right intensity for you to see that benefit.
I have no idea but it sounds hilarious!!

i used to try but its no where near the same for some reason

I guess you are missing the resistance

I bet a nigga never misses a punch with that sumbitch....
Not necessarily. You can sit on a bike and pedal but if you do not push yourself you won't see any results. Same thing for treadmill, jogging, or any other cardio exercise for that matter. Its not just about the exercise, it is about how hard you are working with the exercise (intensity). So why couldn't the same thing apply to jump roping?
Exactly
I fucking hate jump roping....its hard to do if u got boobs lol
Its part of my work out tho....I jump rope before I do anything.....3 rounds...2mins each
Then ill get on the speed bag...heavy bag...then double ended bag...then depending on coach I may do some core work or more cardio

They do sell the weighted jump ropes that you can use. Simulates jumping rope without the ropes
For a beginner just do about 20 mins, jump rope then when you get tired stop and catch your breath then go again. Your heart rate will still stay up and as you get more conditioned over time and skip longer and add variety like double unders. I do push ups and mountainclimbers when I mess up on a jump. And jumping rope will help you shread fat and get toned. Its one of the best ways to shed fat and get toned
Just for reference to anyone who cares. http://www.webmd.com/fitness-exercise/guide/skipping-rope-doesnt-skip-workout
cardio is what is says cardiovascular endurance... it is not an effective tool for weight loss. i wish people would stop saying cardio is for weight loss.
After swimming (if i knew how to swim).......jumping rope would be the next best hardcore/full body aerobic workout imho.
Should you jump rope for exercise? only if your heart can tolerate it. Dont know if anyone has mentioned this....but jumping rope is taxing on your heart....mainly if youre not used to that type of workout. It will get your heart pumper faster than a mofo. When I was a noob & I tried to jump rope for long periods of time....I didnt breath properly. My blood was circulating like a mofo....but the amount of oxygen that I was taking in wasnt satisfying that rapid blood flow. Started feeling tightness around my head......got dizzy..passed out...had to go to the ER. Hence...dont do things like jump rope like a boxer or do HIIT routines unless you know what youre doing. Its takes time to get used too if youre not used to working out hardcore.
if you do jump rope for an aerobic exercise...then the best rope to use is a speed rope.
.....constant/smooth moments all the way through.
im now up to 130 jumps per min. and i can jump for over 20 mins straight.
