Instructions
Preparation
- Grasp jump rope handles on each side. Start with rope behind body. Body weight should be balanced on the balls of the feet, with knees slightly bent.
Execution
- Swing rope from behind, over the head, and around body, then to down to the floor. Hop as rope travels under feet, and repeat.
Comments
- Hops heights should be minimal, just enough to clear the rope, maximize jump rope efficiency, and decrease joint impact. Intensity can be altered by increasing speed of hops.
