Is skipping as good as running?

Question

is skipping for 25 mins a day as good as runnoing 25 mins a day?

If not how much would you need to skip to equal a 25 minute run????

Answer 1

no. just run it is a lot better than skipping and plus you would prob. look really stupid skipping down the road for 25 min.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say one is as good as the other,seems to me that both ways would serve the same purpose.

Answer 3

no

Answer 4

NO its not ...but still its a very good exercise...

Answer 5

Apparently, skipping isn't as energy efficient as running or walking. To me, that might mean, it might be a better calorie burner. However, I'd think there was a greater chance of injury if doing it for longer periods of time.

Yes, there was actually a study on this.
