Health Tips for Jumping Rope Exercise

HealthNFitness Tips: Jumping rope is no longer just for 6-year-old girls. It's a great way to exercise your heart, and it can improve eye-hand-foot coordination.

The suggestions for jump ropers who are just starting out:
  • Keep a light grip on the handles.
  • Hold your elbows close to your body and keep your shoulders relaxed.
  • Keep your knees slightly bent.
  • Use your wrist to turn the rope and create a smooth arc in the rope as it swings over your head.
  • Maintain good posture with your head up and back straight.
  • Don't jump too high. This will help reduce impact on knees and ankles.
