Skip Jump Rope
Skipping with an alternate-foot step, landing on one foot per turn like an easy jog over the rope.
How to do it
Setup
Rope sized so the handles reach the armpits when stood on; elbows in.
Steps
- Step over the rope with one foot, the other heel lifting behind.
- Switch feet on the next turn in an easy running rhythm.
- Spin the rope from the WRISTS.
Common mistakes
Stomping each step: light and quick on the balls of the feet. Kicking the heels high: a small lift clears the rope. Elbows flying out to turn the rope: keep them close and turn it from the wrists.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
