How to get started with jump rope and improve your fitness levels
To jump rope, grip the handles of the jump rope with one hand, with your thumb on the outside of the other hand. The jump rope should be at arm's length and positioned at a 90-degree angle with your palms facing outwards. Hold the jump rope with the hand that is gripping the handles, with the thumb on the bottom of the rope pointed downwards and away from the edge of the jump rope, and the thumb on the top of the rope facing slightly inwards towards your body.
Stand with your feet slightly apart, knees slightly bent, and shoulders slightly cocked. As you jump, the rope should bounce off the ground and move back and forth across the floor, creating a rhythm. To spin the jump rope, hold it just above your head and jump as it spins through the air.

Jumping rope is a great cardiovascular exercise that can improve your endurance, coordination, and agility. It is also a low-impact activity that is easy on your joints, making it a suitable choice for people of all ages and fitness levels. In addition to providing a full-body workout, jump roping can also help to strengthen and tone your muscles, particularly in your legs, glutes, and core.
