Can jumping rope be added as a workout?
Yes, of course, you can add it as a new Workout. Go to GC Mobile Menu » Training » Workouts » Create a Workout, choose the Cardio category, and set up the workout in the way you wish.
Unles you did not really mean a Workout, but rather an Activity type. In that case you'd need to add the rope jumping as a Custom Activity directly on your watch.
