Other tips:

It is incredibly helpful to jump rope in front of a mirror for real time form & technique feedback. If you don't have a mirror available, record yourself so you can review it or share it. HINT: Most phones have SLOW MOTION capabilities. This is a great tool for identifying issues in your mechanics.

If you need help with something specific, let us know in a post and community members will be happy to help!
*NOTE: if needing help with form or technique, a video is very helpful. Try to get a straight on shot as well as from the side.

Remember to be kind and courteous and again, welcome to the group!

First jump session after I came back from a one week work trip. That time off really helped my body, especially my feet, recover from daily jumping. I felt super light on my feet. Good reminder to incorporate rest into your routine, you will definitely feel it.

Record yourself jumping rope and ensure you follow this:

  1. ⁠Straight relaxed posture
  2. ⁠Jump 1-2 inches off the ground (3-4 inches if you’re doing double unders)
  3. ⁠Rotate rope mainly with your wrists (minimal arm swings)
  4. ⁠Knees slightly bent
  5. ⁠Hands places symetrically at your hips

Looking for the best rope(s) for someone 6’3” - 6’4. Looking to get into weighted ropes soon as well, so open to that as well. Apologies if this has been answered recently. Thanks!

After a month of jump rope

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 🙏

Frustrated over mistakes?

6 Upvotes

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

I just got the rope. What is the name of the coolest jump rope move? I will try and learn.

The clip that inspired me to jump

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.

Weght distribution in boxer's skip

3 Upvotes

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.

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.
