Pain in legs after jump rope. How can I better my endurance?

Pain in legs after jump rope. How can I better my endurance?Hello. I'm not very fit but decided to do something about it and lose some weight. I'm 22 years old, 5'9" tall, and I weigh 176 lbs. Two months ago I bought a jumping rope and I have been jumping around every third day since. I have also been doing push-ups (went from struggling with 10 to doing 30 pretty easily now!) and some crunches also. It has been very good for me, and I have lost about 8-10 pounds in these months. However, I can still only jump for around 10-15 minutes at a time and I feel that I don't get any progress. I have to stop not because I am out of breath, but becose my legs starts hurting. After a jumping session my legs hurt and they take a couple of days to recover. I would say that the pain is on the front and sides of my leg, under the knee but over my ankle. I do use running shoes when I jump, and I jump on the balls of my feet, not my heels. Am I doing something wrong? How can I make it better? I would like to jump for far longer periods of time and I feel like I could do it for far longer if it wasnt for the leg pain. Thank you!
