Running vs Skipping?

[I.am.Sam]

20 mins running and 10mins skipping

To see what is really effective, you must look at the exercise regimens that Olympic athletes follow, especially tri-athlon participants

Running is good and skipping is also a very good exercise.

You will just have to get over the strange looks you'll get as you skip down the road :erm:

The truth is that exercise and sport are a trade-off. It necessarily stresses things like joints. And the harder you do it the more damage it does. Some people come away from that with little or no serious harm done, others will be close to crippled when they're older.

And that's why I like swimming, as there is virtually no impact.

i would say alternate both, just so your body doesn't get accustomed to one single exercise thus losing effectiveness over time -- obviously only for certain goals like weightloss.

Run 1 day, skip the next and so on.
