Jumping rope, for the most part, falls under high intensity type cardio. So it would best be used as part of interval training. Definitely good. Depending on how long you keep it up it may not burn a lot of fat during a session. It will certainly burn a lot of calories. However, most of the fat buring effect will be post exercise.

You can look at the HIIT sticky to get an idea about high intensity cardio. You'll want to decide if you want to do steady state low intensity cardio, HIIT, or some of both. I'm a HIIT believer but it all has it's use and appropriateness.

Merry Christmas!

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
