Calf raises with weights for 15-20 reps is your best bet in addition to some jump roping. Calves are very frustrating because some people have large calves purely based on genetics.
@theAmazingShire - Yes, I can. The Pacquiao jump rope is very similar to alternating jumps between your right and left foot, what I call "right to left" in the video. It's a lot easier to sustain alternating between two feet than jumping with two feet at the same time. I used to warm up for 10 minutes of straight jump rope using the Pacquiao style before lifting weights, now I use dynamic warm ups. Thanks for the comment.
@sirgerry: You can definitely benefit from pretend jump rope. Whether you have a rope or not, it's the jumping action that challenges your body and produces results. The jump rope can help improve your coordination and timing. It can also add variety to a jumping routine because you can play around with the tempo and movements when using a rope. If you don't have a jump rope, you can build a great workout using jumping exercises such as jumping jacks, squat jacks, pretend jump rope, etc.
Jump roping definitely helps develop the calves for sure. In terms of the specific shape of your calves, that is largely genetic, but through training you can make positive changes.
@GemininimeG - I'm using the Valeo jump rope, I think it retails for $5-$10 bucks. The buddy lee aero jump rope is pretty awesome but is more expensive around $35.

@paktungdraft - I don't think it's as effective, but just jumping up and down still is plyometric so you certainly are getting benefits. Part of the effectiveness of the jump rope exercise is that it requires coordination and a lot of stabilizer muscles to control the rope and the timing of the revolutions as you jump over it.
is jumping without a jump rope as effective as jumping with a rope? because i tend to trip over a lot it stops for a while but jumping without a jump rope i can just do it, but not sure if its as effective? Any respnse would be helpful thnx : )
does it help to develope good shape calf muscle ?? .. and if i does how long does takes to get a good diamond shaped calf muscle like yours ? ? (Sorry for my bad english ) :D
It's actually both. When you hop to the right side, the left foot touches lightly, when you hop to the left side, the right foot touches lightly. You see boxers do this style a lot. It makes the jumps smoother.
its boxer step. you put more weight on one foot than the other, then switch to the other when you're tired. makes jumpin rope last longer than regular bounce.
the guy on the video jumps slowly .running in one place is easier if one jumps faster . it is even more fun to jump faster and run at the same time from one corner to another.i jump and run from one corner of a basketball court to the other and back etc.... the only drawback of jumping fast is shoulder pain .rest is very important and never jumps everyday .

Yes, I have seen Buddy Lee and I embedded a video of him on my website under an article entitled "7 Tips Tp Jump Rope Like A Pro"
Nice video. Short and sweet, but to the point. Thanks dude!
SuperSmooth and monster stamina, this guy did not lose a breath while explaining the techniques
MfWetWet That's how it seems to us because of our inferior technique. Truth is, he is not using as much energy as a person like me for example.
A beast
I lost breath watching this vid
Very well excelent explication. Congratulations!!

Nice video man. I'd also like to know how people do the criss cross thingy with their hands while jump roping.

I'm just starting out using a speed rope, everything else comes pretty naturally except for running in place. Any tips on that?

But my Calves is Geneticly Bad ...what exercise do you recommend for me to get them bigger and in good shape ?
Me after 20 seconds of jumping rope I NEED AIR! This guy for a minute straight... no deep breaths. nice.
So is the right to left variation done with two legs or one leg. Can't really tell exactly
It's actually both. When you hop to the right side, the left foot touches lightly, when you hop to the left side, the right foot touches lightly. You see boxers do this style a lot. It makes the jumps smoother.
its boxer step. you put more weight on one foot than the other, then switch to the other when you're tired. makes jumpin rope last longer than regular bounce.
Basic is my favourite
