How to jump rope correctly?

Rope skipping is a sport that people are very familiar with. Since it is very simple and can be easily mastered without complicated movements, it has quickly become popular all over the world. People of almost every nationality can do it. Although rope skipping is simple, it is not so easy to achieve the purpose of physical exercise. So, how to skip rope correctly?

1. Hold the handles at both ends of the rope with both hands, step on the middle of the rope with one foot, bend your elbows and raise your forearms flat, and the rope will be straightened to the appropriate length.

2. 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.

3. 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, so that your hands 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.

Rope skipping requires very little space for movement, but the ground must be flat, and you must wear shock-resistant sports shoes to cushion the impact of your knees and ankles contacting the ground. Otherwise, the reaction force during jumping may affect the spine and brain and cause sports injuries.

Rope skipping is simple to say, but it is not easy to achieve the purpose of exercise with simple exercise. Therefore, people should understand how to skip rope correctly when skipping rope, so that they can achieve the purpose of exercise when skipping rope, and avoid skipping rope blindly and failing to achieve the effect of exercise.
