But sometimes running is such an unattractive option isn't it? Half a foot of ice, torrential rain etc..
The beauty of skipping (done correctly) is that it burns far more calories than running (I skip just under lightspeed), it works the upper-half better than running (particularly the shoulders/triceps), trains the grip fabulously, you don't have to run back from wherever you ran to, and can be done indoors away from the filthy weather. Skipping is mental when you learn to do it properly.
Never buy a non-steel rope and get one w/the capacity to add weight to the grips.
I just re-read your post Galpinos - it's wholly obvious that you need to learn to skip.
