Make every rep count.

  1. 01

    Hold a handle in each hand with your elbows close to your ribs; place the rope behind your heels.

  2. 02

    Stand tall with your core braced and eyes forward. Start the rope by turning your wrists (not your shoulders) to keep the swing smooth and fast.

  3. 03

    As the rope approaches your feet, perform a double hop: two quick, low jumps on the balls of both feet so the rope can pass under you.

  4. 04

    Land softly with knees slightly bent, keep your jumps small, and maintain an even rhythm.

  5. 05

    Continue for your target time or reps, resting if your form breaks down.
