Jump Rope Class

I am looking into getting some decent jump rope and beginning a jump rope class at my daughter's dance studio - any thoughts if this might be a good idea?  Are there any die hard jump ropers out there?  What do you think?

Jumping rope is super, super hard! It's great exercise though. How fit are you already? If you're just starting an exercise program I'd suggest starting with something a little less intense.

That is good to know - I need to build up my endurance for sure.  I am just getting bored with the gym equipment.  I can see that the calorie burn is fantastic - I am not coordinated for all of those fancy exercise classes.  It is too embarrassing!  I should perhas try to build up my stamina first and then see what I can do about jumping rope.

Thanks again for your input!
