Jump Rope

A jump rope is a lightweight and portable piece of equipment used for cardiovascular exercise. It consists of a long, thin rope with handles at each end.

Key Points

• Maintain an upright posture with a slight forward lean.
• Rotate the rope from the wrists, not the shoulders.
• Keep your elbows close to your body.
• Jump on the balls of your feet
• Keep jumps low to the ground to reduce impact.

Common Mistakes

• Jumping too high.
• Using the shoulders instead of the wrists.
• Keeping elbows too far from the body.
• Not maintaining a consistent rhythm.
• Landing flat-footed instead of on the balls of the feet.
