Jumping Rope Vs Running - Witch is the Best for Cardio And Fat Loss Exercise?

In one of my articles on StreetArticles I talked about some differences between Jumping rope and Running.
If you want to know something about it take a look at:

Jumping Rope Vs Running

For my Jumping rope training I use a speed rope like this one:



You should try it! It's amazing how good you can became with the right rope! and it cost only 9$!!!
if you have never tried the Jump Rope in your workout you can find some videos on YouTube or you can try one of this step by step courses:



If you prefer running:

You should buy a good pair of running shoes and go outside. I know some very good book that can lead you from being a beginner to being able to run the NYC Marathon

Stronger on the cheap

I found this workout that you can do at home on an Italian site and I though it was worth testing it. The first impression was really good: Only four exercises means a workout easy to remember. Moreover, the exercises involve large areas of muscles meaning that in only one session you train all your body with a very hight intensity, burning more calories and wasting less time.

Belive me, it worth a try!!!

The exercises are this:

Push-ups
Pull-ups
One Legged Squat
Crunches

You have to do 8 reps of each exercise in a row (without rest), then you rest for a minute or two and then repeat for a total of 8 sets. At the beginning it won't be easy doing all 8 sets if you are not well trained.

And the best thing is that you don't need any equipment!!! only a Pull-up bar!!!
