Jump rope
How to do it
- Start with a few regular skips to find your rhythm.
- Jump a little higher than usual and turn the rope faster with your wrists.
- Aim to pass the rope under your feet twice before you land.
- Land softly with soft knees and reset into regular skips whenever you trip.
Coaching cues
- Speed comes from your wrists, not from swinging your arms wider.
- Practise in short sets, this one is tiring on the calves.
