One of the most effective cardio exercises in the world — burn up to 1000 kcal/hour
Stand on the middle of the rope — handles should reach your armpits. Too long — slows you down. Too short — trips you up.
Rotation should come from the wrists, not the shoulders or elbows. Arms at sides, elbows close to body.
Jump on the ball of your foot. Heels barely touch or do not touch the ground at all.
Jump height only 2–3 cm. Jumping too high wastes energy and slows you down.
Look straight ahead, not at your feet. This naturally keeps your body upright.
Shoulders relaxed, arms soft. Tension slows you down and tires you out.
A PVC or vinyl jump rope with adjustable length. Avoid speed ropes (they are intended for advanced users).
When performed correctly — no. Jump on a soft surface, low, with cushioned shoes.
For beginners, 3×1 min with rest is enough. Gradually increase to 10–15 min. 10 min of jumping rope = 30 min of running.
