Learn to Jump Rope Like a Pro
Rocky made jumping rope for exercise easy, but it’s more than just jumping to great music. It all depends on your rhythm, the type of rope you are using, the right length and good shape. There are many more issues to cover, but this video will help you get up to speed faster.
First, you need to know the different types of rope: high speed skipping ropes, segmented ropes with beads, and fabric ropes. The high speed ropes are made from phthalate-free vinyl cords that are designed to move through the air. Beaded ropes are covered with polyethylene beads, which are more durable, whereas fabric ropes are nylon ropes, which are slower and easier to control. Beading and woven ropes are ideal for beginners.
You will also learn how to adjust the rope size to suit your height and exercise rhythm. The basic technique is to bounce only once with each twist of the rope, but once you lower it, you can fantasize with footwork and increase the pace. If you’ve ever jumped rope for more than a couple of minutes in a row, you may feel that this is a good form of cardio and also helps your agility, leg work, and strength in your shoulders and forearms.
