I would assume that it depends on how fast you're jumping rope.
According to TDP: QUOTE This activity burns approximately 661 calories per hour for an average, 145-pound person. And I don't know about skipping. |

I would imagine that they would be pretty similar, since the actions are similar...However I think you'd be more motivated to skip since there's something to actually hold and...yeah. I can't imagine just standing there and hopping.

I'm just going to assume that when you say 'skipping', you mean jumping from foot to foot.
I would think skipping, because it's a lot harder than just hopping. And I've noticed that you can a lot go faster doing it that way. This makes me want to go jump rope right now. |

I can't imagine just standing there and hopping. I think the OP is asking whether it's better to skip rope or jump rope, not only hop vs. skipping rope. |
