i know running is the best way to burn fat (cardio). but how are pingpong and jumping rope compared to it?

[jliu6190]

maybe if you do both at the same time...

^ LOL *imagines someone playing ping pong while jumping rope*

Jumping rope would be comparable to running I think. Just google both and you'll see the rate at which you burn calories for each

[tennisball]

if you jump rope for ten minutes than that equals one mile

^ HAHAHAH! thats funny. youve gotta be PRO to do that.


i think you should google it; but running burns the most calaries out of all the sports.

It REALLY depends on how fast & how high (or whatever else there may be) you're going.
I think if you're trying to seriously make sure you match the amount you could've achieved by running, you must count how many skips you do. There are probably sites out there that measure in that way.

I think that jump rope is easier to do if you don't want to go out to run, and you don't have a treadmill or something at home. You know, because you don't too much space to jump rope.

Make sure you wear...what's it called? Shoes that don't strain your ankles due to the impact of jumping up and down. So, no flats.

I love rope jumping!
that's all I wanted to say.....yeah, just ignore this post.

well i do know that about 30-45 minutes of raquet ball is the same as an hour of running :]
but i've heard that when you jump rope it makes you taller? i dont believe it because when i was younger i used to jump rope a lot and im now 5'3'' xD
so that's just some asain myth moms like to spread
haha but i think jump roping is more of an exercise to build up your stamina and your leg muscles and running is more of an all over cardio exercise.

yeah, i agree. they have different purposes so it really depends on what your aiming for
i think jump roping is a good warmup for running. it all links to each other

my physical ed teacher told me that 5 minutes of jump roping is 15 minutes of jogging...

[_ATELIER]

ping pong counts as a cardio? rotfl. iono the only time i find myself running in ping pong is when the ball gets pass me =_=

[byuntae]

jumping rope is great cardio.. ping pong? not so much unless you're going nuts and playing some intense ping pong

[j.a*star]

Ping Pong?
Only if you play like this

[woei]

wow...5 minutes of jump roping equals to 15 minutes of jogging?...thats really great...i love jump roping...i do it almost everyday....

will that do anything for ur thighs ?

[nosuchthingasfairytales]

i play pingpong twice a week for 3-4 hours...
it does wonders for my legs and right arm xD (cuz i only use my right arm...left arm only throws ball up xD)
but...when it comes down to your abs....there is absolutely no change at all = ="
i had to jump rope too for pingpong and that generally strengthens your legs and arms

i also used to play soccer in middle school...now that was really intense
i actually had abs and really strong leg muscles back then...
soccer had running in it...and that was the only thing that made my stomach flat xD

so i would chose running over pingpong and jump rope....jeez...way for me to be a traitor @_@
xD lol

cardio does burn fat. jump roping will work out ur calves
