I heard is was bad for the joints in ur hips/knees, any truth to this, and if so whats the best surface to do both???I don't know if the surface is why people get pains but I don't. Anyways, I usually jumprope on hardwood or rubber.

i think its because some people get shin splints. but if you dont then it shouldnt be bad

yeah thats what i have, i cant run very much because it gives me so much pain in my legs but i can ride a bike all day long .

It's better to jump on something else then concrete, I jump rope on a mat to build up my legs..

Just make sure you have a good pair of shoes with excellent cushioning.

jump rope in the ring so it simuates boxing in the ring

at our gym, they dont really tell us NOT to jump rope on concrete, but they lay out big sheets of wood for us to jump rope on

Of course, it's bad for the joints, but you can get away with it while you are young. You'll pay when you get older. Run on dirt or grass. Jump in the ring or on a mat. Yeah, the rope jumps a little bit, but you'll adjust. And invest in decent shoes.
