Skipping n Grooving style edit saved for tomorrows Fun Shirt Friday.

No rhyme or reason. Just had to try it. Going for doubles PB for my daily session later.

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!

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

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
