Cardio and Jump Rope?

Hello. I'm looking to get a good cardio workout but I am sadly confined to the house/back yard. All I have is a jump rope, no tread mill.My question is, is jumping rope as good of a cardio workout as jogging/running? And how long should I do it for a good cardio workout?
Answer:
Jumping rope is EXCELLENT cardiovascular exercise. You burn more calories jumping rope than running.You'll need to jump rope for 30 minutes to get a good workout.However, you don't have to start there! Start slowly and work your way up. Try starting out for 5-10 minutes first and slowly add on to your time.
