High Jump Rope
High Jump Rope Instructions
- Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding the high jump rope in both hands.
- Swing the rope backwards over your head, keeping your elbows close to your sides.
- As the rope comes forward, jump up and over it, landing softly on the balls of your feet.
- Repeat the jump as the rope swings back over your head.
- Continue jumping over the rope, gradually increasing your speed and height.
- Once you have mastered the basic jump, try adding in variations such as double unders or criss-crosses.
- Remember to keep your core engaged and your shoulders relaxed throughout the exercise.
