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.
