Tip of the Day: Do you jump rope?? I may be a bit biased, but if you’re not, I think you’re missing out. Jump roping has benefits like working your heart, burning calories, and improving your speed and agility, but it can also be done anywhere and is an inexpensive work out! Still, I know what it’s like to be a beginner jumper, so I’m sharing a few tips to jump rope like a pro!
(1) The Jump
How you jump is actually quite important! Be sure you’re jumping on the balls of your feet, so that your heels never touch the ground. It’s also important to be jumping just a bit off the ground: more of a hop than an actual jump. The jump should be just far enough off the ground that it allows for the rope to pass below the feet.
(2) The Rotation
Jumping rope with a rope length that is appropriate for your height can help get you in a proper rhythm. In order for jumping rope to be easiest for you, the rope should reach your sternum when you stand bisecting the length of the rope and hold it straight up. Once you have the correct rope, you want to rotate it by holding the handles slightly above the waist and rotating at the wrists…it’s all in the wrists!
(3) The Alternative
So, maybe you decide jumping rope just isn’t for you OR perhaps you simply cannot find a jump rope at the moment. Simple solution…go through the motions! Place your hands by your side and pretend you’re rotating a rope, jumping at the appropriate times. This is actually a great place for a beginner to start as you start learning the rhythm!
