Jump Rope
Single UndersWHAT IS IT
Jump Rope is the one-turn-per-jump skip: light, rhythmic and steady. It builds the calf spring, timing and breathing that double unders and the runs between stations rely on.
HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY
- 1Hold the handles at hip height with the elbows close to the ribs.
- 2Turn the rope from the wrists, not the shoulders.
- 3Jump just high enough to clear the rope, landing on the balls of the feet.
- 4Keep the knees soft and the rhythm even.
- 5Breathe steadily; speed comes from a smaller jump, not a bigger one.
