As of last year 2010 I've started Chi running. This is the method of running that is like running barefooted. The idea is that running barefoot puts you back into a natural more healthy running style. You are running on the balls of your feet as opposed to heel striking. Its the heel strike that causes problems in your knees, hips and back.
So, how does this pertain to Jumping rope. Jumping rope puts you light on your feet and building up your mid-foot strength.
