Solo Jump Rope

• one person is using a jump rope by themselves

• Correct size of rope: Stand on the middle of the rope with your feet together. The rope handles or ends of the rope should come your ribs, just below your armpits.

• Hold the end of the rope so the part you jump over is pinched by your thumb and pointer finger (wrap any extra rope around your hand)

regular start (Starting the rope to jump over):

• middle of rope touched back of calves

• hands held together above waist level with elbows mostly straight

• Move hands to side of waist

• keep elbows close to body

• turn wrist and rotate elbows back then up then forward then down

• START your jump when the rope is in front and about even with your face.

• land on toes and keep ankles and knees slightly bent (soft landing like the ankles were springs) and gently, slowly BOUNCE on toes.
