Make every rep count.
- 01
Hold the handles comfortably at your sides with the rope resting behind your heels.
- 02
Stand tall, brace your core, and keep your shoulders relaxed with elbows close to your ribs.
- 03
Start the rope by turning your wrists (not big arm swings) to keep a smooth, controlled rotation.
- 04
As the rope approaches your toes, make a quick, light jump off both feet, landing softly on the balls of your feet with knees slightly bent.
- 05
Keep jumps low—just high enough for the rope to clear—maintaining a steady rhythm.
- 06
Continue for your target time or reps, then slow the rope down to stop safely.
