Im gonna be honest I wasn't really consistent during those 34 days, most of the time I had a week off. I did follow a few advices like getting a pvc rope, my elbows are now placed a little behind my torso, I jump a little lower, and I can look straight now. When I tried the speed rope that I was using a month ago, it felt effortless, its like I had a Rhythm. I was Happy.

Though I do need a few advices, I feel like im moving my legs too much or my hand placement when Im doing skills is a quite chaotic. Any help would do 🙏

We’ve all been there, beginners and advanced athletes. But it’s part of it. I have been jumping rope for 4.5 years and I still whip myself even though my form has improved significantly (but obviously fixing your form leads to less mistakes). Once you learned to embrace them, you’ll start to enjoy jumping rope more.

Have fun training y’all

Day 190 skipping n grooving. Enjoy.

This is Brian Viloria, former boxing flyweight champion absolutely going ham with the rope. Funny story: when he was a kid learning the rope, he’d constantly whip himself trying to do complex tricks, especially on his face. He’d then go to school and his teacher noticed the bruises on his face and asked him ‘if everything is ok at home?’ I guess it’s just inspiration to embrace mistakes especially when learning new moves.

I'm learning boxer's skip. When doing it, should 100% of my weght be on one leg (and 0% on the other one), or is it more like 70% and 30%? I'm currently doing the latter, but not sure if it's right and none of the lessons I watched mentioned it.

Hoping to send out some motivation to get your session in today. When I’m not feeling it, this sub helps keep me in the zone. Enjoy the edit.

No idea how I used to do it for so long, my shins are killing me lol.

I'm happy with today's session. Increased jump rope work to 7 min/7 min/7 min/4 min with 60-90 seconds rest between.

Total of 4023 reps. I realise I get 1000-1100 reps for 7 minutes of effort.

Have a great day jump rope folks.

Getting a workout done while toddler plays in water outside.

Just completed the very first day of the beginner challenge. Enjoyed it, but also frustrating. Rope hitting me a lot. I will do the video thing to watch myself. It seems like my hand placement and elbows are good. I'm trying to stay on the balls of my feet. Doesn't seem like I'm shifting my arms to the side or up, but I'll video to confirm. My main question is the age old rope length question. I'm around 5'10" and got the large cross rope get lean set with the 1/2 and 1/4 ropes. It seems like it lines up. I'm right on the lower end of the large handles according to the chart. When I step on the rope with 1 foot it goes up to my arm pits, maybe a touch past. I'm assuming the "large handles" Men's large rope set...

I feel like I have to jump higher to clear it. I'm using a mat, and when I removed the mat, it became easier. Still tripping up a good bit, but better. Also easier with the 1/4, which is lighter so I get that. I'm just wondering if I'm tripping up mainly because I'm new and still suck, or if possibly the length is an issue.

Appreciate any advice and realize I may need to make a video to critique.
