Step-by-step

  1. Hold the rope with both hands, elbows close to your body and palms turned slightly forward.
  2. Turn the rope over your head and forward using only your wrists, keeping your arms almost still.
  3. As the rope reaches your feet, hop lightly off the balls of your feet.
  4. Keep your jumps low, just a few centimeters high, only enough to clear the rope.
  5. Land softly and quietly with your knees slightly bent.
  6. Settle into a steady rhythm and repeat the movement continuously.

Coaching tip

Turn the rope from the wrists and hop lightly; keep your heels off the ground and hold the rhythm.
