What is the best way to jump rope?

Skipping rope seems to be a very simple sport, but in fact there are many ways to do it. It not only increases the difficulty of skipping rope, but is also very beneficial for exercising the body's coordination, flexibility, etc. Skipping rope can also effectively help us lose fat. The following editor will introduce how to skip rope to have a better weight loss effect and cause less harm to the body.

1. If possible, choose a springy surface for your skipping.

2. Wear sports shoes and don't jump rope barefoot, especially if you are a beginner.

3. Choose a jump rope that's the right length for you.

4. If possible, play some music. Dynamic music can add momentum and also provide rhythm points.

5. Start with low intensity. Don't jump for an hour at first. My suggestion is 15 to 20 minutes each time, 3 to 4 times a week, and then slowly increase.

6. Don't jump too high. Two inches off the ground is enough, which will make the movement gentler and last longer.

7. Land softly. Imagine you are jumping on a glass floor and if you land too hard the floor will break. Land softly to reduce impact.

8. Move your wrist in a slight circle. You can lift your forearms slightly, but draw your elbows in toward your body, and keep your shoulders relaxed and hanging naturally.

9. Vary your jumping patterns, such as switching from double-foot hopping to single-foot hopping, or running and jumping, so you will feel less bored.

10. When you start to feel tired but still have energy left, you can do some "active rest" by throwing the jump rope aside, but keep jumping and slightly simulating the movement of turning the rope with your arms. This can help you relax, extend your exercise time, and increase your endurance.

11. Remember to warm up before jumping rope, march on the spot, and do some stretching exercises, especially your calves. It is best to do stretching exercises after jumping rope, which can help relieve calf muscle tension and reduce soreness.

When jumping rope, the human metabolism will speed up and the demand for water will increase greatly. In addition, strenuous exercise will cause a large amount of water in the body to be excreted through sweat. Therefore, when jumping rope, you should replenish the body with sufficient water in a timely manner and choose a pair of comfortable shoes.
