Exercise Description

Jump rope builds calf strength and burns calories fast. It boosts your cardio fitness while toning your lower legs.

How To

1. Hold the jump rope handles with a light grip, arms at your sides 2. Start with the rope behind your feet, then swing it over your head 3. Jump lightly on the balls of your feet as the rope passes under 4. Keep your jump rope rhythm steady with small, quick hops 5. Land softly and repeat for your target time or reps

Form Tips

• Keep your elbows close to your body during jump rope • Land on the balls of your feet, not flat-footed • Make small jumps, just high enough to clear the rope • Turn the rope with your wrists, not your whole arms

Common Mistakes

• Jumping too high wastes energy during jump rope • Landing flat-footed puts stress on your knees and shins • Swinging your arms too wide breaks your jump rope rhythm
