Jumping rope is a full body activity, with primary focus being on the calves, quads, shoulders and abs. Set-Up*Get the proper size jump-rope. Yes, size does matter. If the rope is too long, it will drag on the ground and you won’t be able to jump. On the other hand, if the rope is too short, your feet will get caught when you try to jump. The majority of people (5’4" – 5’11") will do just fine with a 9-foot rope.* To determine the proper length of the rope you should be jumping with, loop and hold down the center of the rope beneath your left foot, hold the handles in your left hand. When you completely straighten the rope line upward, the handles should be level with the top of your armpit.
Action1. Warm up your body first. Do very light skipping of rope or walk in place until your heart rate is raised, and your muscles are warm, usually about five to eight minutes.
2. Rotate your body weight to the balls of your feet, look straight ahead and not at your feet. Push up and land lightly on the balls of your feet. Keep your knees slightly flexed while the arms are relaxed at your side. ** Remember to keep your posture upright, which means staying relaxed with shoulders down from the ears, shoulder blades comfortably back and abdominal muscles held in toward the spine. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ These are our top picks for jump ropes.
