4 Benefits of Jumping Rope That’ll Convince You to Give It a Try (5 of 6)

How to Jump Rope Correctly

  1. Position yourself with your feet close together, grasping one end of the jump rope in each hand while the rope hangs behind you. If you don’t have a rope, imagine the motion of jumping with one.
  2. Maintain your elbows near your sides as you swing the rope with your wrists, bringing it up over your head and then down towards the ground.
  3. Coordination is key—jump off the ground with both feet just before the rope reaches your feet, and then continue the sequence of swinging and jumping.
