Was told to jog recently by my coach to help me lose weight and to help me build up my lower legs (I've got skinny ankles).
I gave it the college try but after 2 relatively short sessions my back is absolutely killing me & my hips are tight & sore.
My feet are really not made for jogging, it's been a pretty big issue since I became an adult; even jogging regularly, i've never really been able to do more than twice a week because of the aches & pains.

I can handle jumping rope without too much problems.
I've read that jumping rope for 10 minutes is better than jogging 1 mile.
I also think jumping rope more directly targets the lower legs that I'm trying to build.

What are the benefits and drawbacks of jumping rope versus jogging?
