Hard Wearing Skipping or Jump Rope.

Skipping is an activity not only suited for competition or recreation, but also for a cardiovascular workout, similar to jogging or bicycle riding. This aerobic exercise can achieve a "burn rate" of up to 700 calories per hour of vigorous activity, with about 0.1 calories consumed per jump. Ten minutes of jumping rope is roughly the equivalent of running an eight-minute mile. Jumping rope for 15–20 minutes is enough to burn off the calories from a candy bar.

Skipping can avoid the knee damage which may occur during running, since the impact of each jump or step is absorbed by both legs.  Skipping also helps strengthen the arms and shoulders.  This combination of an aerobic workout and coordination-building footwork has made jumping rope a popular form of exercise for athletes who require speed and agility – sprinters, hurdlers, martial artists, boxers, and all codes of field sports (football, Union, Hockey and Rugby League).  

Individuals or groups can participate in the exercise, and learning proper jump rope technique is relatively simple compared to many other athletic activities. The exercise is also appropriate for a wide range of ages and fitness levels. Jumping rope is particularly effective in an aerobic routine combined with other activities, such as walking, cycling, or running. Many badminton players and tennis players around the world jump rope to increase their endurance for competitions.
