Jump Skip Rope

Expert Advice

Maintain a slight bend in your knees and use your wrists to turn the rope, not your arms. Stay light on your feet and land softly to minimize impact on your joints.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Hold the rope handles with a firm grip, elbows close to your sides.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and the rope behind your feet.
  3. Swing the rope over your head and jump as it passes under your feet.
  4. Keep your jumps low and consistent in height.
  5. Continue jumping and swinging the rope in a smooth, rhythmic motion.
