How to do it

Setup. Rope handles at hip height, elbows close to your sides.

  1. Turn the rope with your wrists, not your arms.
  2. Jump just high enough to clear the rope.
  3. Land softly on the balls of your feet.

Most common mistake

Jumping too high and landing on your heels.

Coach's tip

Start with 30 seconds on, 30 seconds off.
