Jumping rope is great for coordination and quickness, as well as cardio (I smoke too much weed, I'm tryin to stop though).

I was just wondering if it would hurt you if you wore ankle weights while you did it, and I figured it would.

Thanks for the advice. I appreciate it.

Also, what about wearing a weighted vest? Will that hurt your knees or ankles at all? I have a 30 lb Valeo weighted vest.
Weighted vests do work for you. I use mine all the time. I suggest using it for skipping rope, rim jumps, calf raises, bodyweight squats, lunges, and anything else that it can be used for.
