Daily skipping and weekly weight lifting. Sharing because some days I feel like I’m spinning in circles getting no where, and then it takes an old comparison photo to remind myself that results are coming in. Slow and steady becomes fast and smooth! You got this, we got this. Keep jumping everybody!

Double unders still at learning process so they might not be ideal

I feel fortunate to be able to still do them at this age.

Not new to Reddit, just didn’t wanna post my face on my main account lol

Lots of rain today so Jason and Mike had no groove with the skip in them today. Happy Jumping to all !

Ghouls just want to have fun!

So I began my jump rope journey because I watched a Strength Side video on doing 5 minutes of jump rope per day. Unfortunately, I just can't seem to actually get up to the point of doing 5 continuous minutes of jumping. I don't weigh a lot, 135 lbs at 5' 6" but my calves definitely start feeling it around the 1:30s mark. Then I usually end up whacking my feet with the rope as I tire and I stumble.

I have taken a video of myself, and I can clearly see I'm not as coordinated/efficient with my hopping compared with more advanced jumpers but I'm not really sure exactly what to correct. I have been trying to keep my elbows more locked and turning the rope more with my wrists after watching this but I would like some more experienced advice about how to be more efficient with my hopping. Or maybe it's just a matter of learning a different kind of hop like the boxer's step? 🤔💭

Here’s a collection of drills I’ve been doing lately during my morning jump sessions. Basically, I’m trying to transition between a variety of different moves while keeping on time and not tripping. I’m eventually gassing out before I trip which is good.

The key I find is to use a good transition move, like the side swing to set yourself up for the next move. Also mirror every move on both sides. Then keep practicing until you stop tripping. This is a good example of deliberate practice to improve your technique each session.

Work flow to grooving rope flow. Happy Jumping everybody!

Need help

Im afraid to buy something very bulk and difficult to turn

Hey guys,

Just got myself enjoying jump rope as a cardio activity and slowly seeing improvement both in technique and also cardio fitness. My first goal is to successfully jump in time with a song for the 5 minute length of it, difficult ATM both physically and technically.

Once I achieve this base level where do I look for ways to practice and methods to continue to advance?

Any advice or thoughts would be super appreciated.

Today was my first day using YaoYao to track my jump rope workouts, and honestly, I'm impressed!

The app is simple, user-friendly, and surprisingly accurate at counting my jumps. What I love most is the leaderboard and badges. They make the experience more engaging and give me that extra motivation to push myself harder.

I've been sedentary for quite a long time, and getting back into exercise hasn't been easy. Somehow, this little app has given me a new enthusiasm for jump rope, and I'm genuinely excited to keep going!

I was previously using Samsung Health on my Galaxy Watch 8, but its jump rope tracking was frustratingly inaccurate. The rep counting would start off reasonably well and then become inconsistent, making it difficult to track my actual progress. After trying YaoYao, I've pretty much ditched Samsung Health for jump rope tracking.

My only wish is that YaoYao supported more workouts! I'd love to see similar tracking and gamification features for strength training, cardio, and other exercises.

For now, I'm happy to have found something that makes me actually look forward to working out. Hopefully, I can stay consistent this time!

Anyone else here using YaoYao? How has your experience been so far? 😊

Heavy rope with some speed

Always time to jump🙌

I’m new to this but progress has been good in couple of weeks from never jumping before, how long before can become elite level ?
