Jump Rope

Jump rope is a dynamic warm up and can also be used in a conditioning setting. It requires and develops rhythm as well as high-eye coordination.

Single Unders:

• Keep the body loose and relaxed and the spine neutral

• Arms should be symmetrical when viewed from the front

• Adjust cadence and speed on to develop control of the spin

• Adjust between two feet and single foot jumping to increase body awareness and control

Double Unders:

• Body should be loose and relaxed and symmetrical like single unders

• Jump only as high as necessary to spin the rope twice per jump

• Speed can be increased or decreased to permit more or less recovery
