📋 How to Do?
- Hold handles at hip, rope behind feet.
- Jump lightly as rope swings under, minimal knee bend.
- Vary speed, land on toes. 3 sets of 1-2 minutes.
Choose proper length rope for low jumps to reduce impact, land lightly on toes to spare knees, and wear supportive shoes—build intervals gradually to avoid calf strains in beginners, using a soft surface for joint protection.
💪 Working Muscles
Primary: Calves (plantar flexion for toe jumps); Quadriceps (knee extension in landing); Secondary: Shoulders (wrist rotation for rope turn); Core (balance during jumps); Forearms (handle grip)
Equipment Needed: Jump rope
Difficulty: Beginner
