How to perform Rope Jumping
- Hold one handle in each hand with the rope resting behind your feet.
- Keep your elbows near your sides and turn the rope forward mainly with your wrists.
- As the rope approaches your feet, make a small two-foot jump just high enough for it to pass underneath.
- Land with a slight knee bend and continue into the next low bounce.
- Keep your torso upright and your upper-arm movement small while maintaining a repeatable turning rhythm.
- Stop and reset if the rope catches rather than increasing jump height or arm swing to chase it.
