⚠️ Most Common Mistakes

  1. Jumping Too High. Wastes energy and increases injury risk. Jump low and fast.
  2. Arms Far from the Body. Arms should be at your sides, elbows close to the body. The farther the arms are, the harder it is to rotate.
  3. Shoulder Rotation. Rotation should come from the wrists, not the shoulder joint.
  4. Incorrect Rope Length. Too long — it catches. Too short — you have to jump higher. Measure it!
  5. Too Hard Surface. Avoid concrete. Best — rubber surfacing, parquet or a mat.
  6. Jumping Barefoot. Always wear athletic shoes with cushioning.
  7. Too Much, Too Soon. Beginners often overdo it. Start with 3×1 min and increase gradually.

⚠️ Caution

Jumping rope is a high-impact exercise. If you have knee, hip or back problems, consult a doctor before starting.
