Exercise Description

The single leg jump rope exercise builds calf power and improves balance. It's a killer cardio move that develops single-leg stability and coordination.

How To

1. Hold the jump rope handles with relaxed shoulders and elbows close to your sides. 2. Lift your right foot off the ground, keeping your knee slightly bent and foot flexed. 3. Start jumping on your left leg only, using small quick hops to clear the rope. 4. Keep your single leg jump rope rhythm steady and land softly on the ball of your foot. 5. Switch legs after 30 seconds and repeat the single leg jump rope movement.

Form Tips

• Keep your jumping leg slightly bent - never land with a locked knee during single leg jump rope • Use your wrists to turn the rope, not your whole arms • Land quietly on the ball of your foot to protect your joints • Master regular jump rope before trying the single leg jump rope variation

Common Mistakes

• Landing too hard on your heel instead of the ball of your foot during single leg jump rope • Jumping too high - you only need to clear the rope by an inch • Letting the non-jumping leg swing around instead of keeping it controlled during single leg jump rope
