Jump rope

Muscles worked

How to do it

1. Hold the handles at hip height, elbows close to the body.
2. Turn the rope with small circles of the wrists.
3. Jump just high enough for the rope to pass, landing on the balls of the feet.
4. Keep a steady rhythm.

Common mistakes

• Jumping too high — a few centimetres is enough.
• Swinging the rope with the whole arm — turn from the wrists.
• Landing on the heels — stay on the balls of the feet.
