It has many effects. Nowadays, rope skipping has become popular all over the country. It is a favorite form of exercise for many people. However, there are certain requirements for the length of the rope. Let us now understand how long the rope should be.

1. Standard length of skipping rope

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and step on the rope, hold the two ends of the rope [or the two handles] with both hands, bend your arms at the sides of your body at right angles, and then straighten the rope.

2. Hold the handles at both ends of the rope with both hands. Usually, step on the middle of the rope with one foot. Bend your elbows and raise your forearms. When the rope is straightened, it is the appropriate length.

When jumping rope, you should jump and land on the front of your feet. Remember not to land on your entire foot or heel to avoid shaking your brain. When jumping, do not bend your body extremely, but keep it in a naturally bent position. When dancing, your breathing should be natural and rhythmic.

When rocking forward, keep your upper arms close to the sides of your body, elbows slightly abducted, and upper arms nearly horizontal. Use your wrists to abduct and internally rotate your hands, making them draw circles on the sides of your body. Every time it is shaken, the rope goes from the ground through the body, up and down, and makes a circle. The speed at which the rope rotates is proportional to the speed at which the hand shakes the rope. The faster it is shaken, the faster the rope will circle.

3. Beginners should not jump too fast at the beginning, and should pay special attention to the stretching of the calf muscles. In principle, you can take a short rest after every 100 or 200 jumps. To achieve the desired effect, the heart rate must be at least 100 beats per minute, and the ideal heart rate is about 150 beats per minute.

As you become more and more proficient and your technique and physical strength improve, the effectiveness of exercise will be greatly increased. If you can jump 140 times per minute, then just jumping for 6 minutes will be equivalent to jogging for half an hour. Moreover, if you go jogging after jumping rope, you will find that your lung capacity is increasing.
