Great video. Thank you. I'm 63, just getting started with rope jumping. It seems like my jumping memory from childhood is there, and feels very natural.😊
I'm an experienced jump roper and I appluad this absolute beginner video! Your voice is so calm and confident. Your advice is spot-on. I wish this video was available when I started to jump rope.
Great question! So the type of rope will vary depending on what you want to do. If you're looking to develop speed or strength, then a pvc rope would be best. For a solid PVC rope, I'd recommend the Crossrope brand, if you're serious about jump roping. They can be a little pricey, but if you're looking for a more affordable option, Timeless Jump has a great pvc rope too. If you're looking to do tricks and just overall practice, then a beaded jump rope would be best. Beaded jump ropes are segmented and often made of nylon or polycord. I prefer polycord because it retains its shape longer than nylon since nylon has a higher stretch threshold. For beaded ropes, I recommend Elite Jumps or Dope Ropes--you can find both on Amazon. But if you go on the Elite Jumps website, you can customize your own beaded rope. I use an Elite Jumps beaded rope for learning skips and day to day jump roping. For speed and fitness training, I use the "Get Lean" kit from Crossrope. As far as adjustability goes, you can swap different weighted pvc ropes on the Crossrope brand via a locking mechanism on the handles. In terms of adjusting the length, the only one I know of is a speed rope through the Dope Ropes brand, but I haven't used it myself, so I can't speak on how practical it is. Hope this helps!
I’m trying to learn to jump but I’m so clumsy hahaha get all tangled up in my rope will keep trying lol😂 will check my rope length ! Use to skip all the time as a kid time to get after it
Oh, you got this! When I first started, I fumbled all over the place 😅. The important thing is to just stay patient with yourself and be consistent with how often you practice. Even if it's just a few minutes a day, the movement starts to feel natural. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.
I'm sorry to hear that! If you get them when you jump, it could be an exertion headache. I get them from time to time usually because of my sinuses. But other contributing factors could be dehydration, having tense muscles, a diet high in sodium or caffeine, or even higher blood pressure. Try stretching your neck by rotating your neck slowly in a circular clockwise movement at 5 seconds each rotation. Do this 4 times and then go counter-clockwise. Also make sure your shoulders are relaxed and that you're slightly bending your knees when you jump. Make sure you are breathing in through your nose and out through your mouth when exercising. Make sure you're drinking at least 64oz of water a day and lessening any caffeine (coffee, soda, etc.) If you're still experiencing problems, please go see a doctor. Safety first!!
Hi! Great video! I am from Sweden, I am trying to learn how to jump, but it's really difficult. Could I send you a video of me jumping and you could give feedback? Just wondering, thank you 🙏🙏
Thanks. A very thorough explanation.
