Does jumping burn same amount of calories as skipping does?
Brus, No. Jumping does not burn exactly the same amount of calories as skipping does. During skipping, we also move our hands continuously to swing the rope. During jumping, there is not that much movement of hands. So, skipping burns a few more calories than jumping does. But, the difference of the calories burnt in the two cases is very little. So, if you have the fear of your feet getting obstructed by the rope, you may do jumping instead of skipping. In fact, this is the reason why many people prefer jumping to skipping.
