13.Without running it speeds your heart rate like that of a runner and so requires a lot of energy to maintain a good fitnes spoint.
14.But skipping rope can be frustrating or boring as after missing a few jumps. Even if you have a good stamina and maintain a good coordination, you fail to skip for more than 2 minutes. This is because your calves and Achilles tendons are stressed when you keep skipping in the same pattern and when they sting you start missing.

So to skip without missing you have to keep changing from a single bounce to a double bounceor to a skip or a jog or a knee up. You should keep changing the skipping style after every 30 seconds to avoid fatigue.

To avoid a miss you can even do sideskipping or rotating rope without jumping. This can be to warm you up in the start or to avoid any halt during the sets.
