This aerobic exercise can achieve a "burn rate" of up to 1300 calories per hour of vigorous activity, with about 0.1 calories consumed per jump. Ten minutes of jumping rope is roughly the equivalent of running an eight-minute mile. Jumping rope for 15-20 minutes is enough to even burn off the calories from a candy bar.
Jumping rope can avoid the knee damage which may occur during running, since the impact of each jump or step is absorbed by both legs. The force of hitting the ground can cause damage to the feet, ankles, hips and knees. But in jump rope, the shock of hitting the ground is absorbed by both feet allowing the calf muscles to control and absorb the impact, Jumping rope also helps strengthen the arms and shoulders. This combination of an aerobic workout and coordination-building footwork have made jumping rope a popular form of exercise for athletes. Jumping rope is particularly effective in an aerobic routine combined with other activities, such as walking, biking, or running.

Think about it, if you jump rope for just 10 min. a day it is like running a mile. Those with kids, make it a family event or competition.
