Jumping rope isn’t just a game you played when you were a kid.

Jumping rope is practiced in many fitness gyms not only as part of the training but as a warm-up before training.

It is an important exercise for strengthening the leg muscles and increasing cardiopulmonary capacity.

It also improves coordination, because you have to coordinate your hand movements with your leg movements.

Here are some of the different types of jumping rope:

1. Jumping with feet together.

2. Hopscotch.

3. Criss-cross.

4. Front-back cross.

5. Alternate foot jump.

6. Double under.

Since jumping with the feet together is important to master before moving on to the other techniques, we’ll explain step by step how to execute this technique correctly:

1. Standing on the floor, hold one end of the jump rope in each hand.

2. Jump quickly and continuously, feet together, bringing the rope under your feet with each jump.

3. Turn the rope so it passes under your feet and over your head.

When jumping, your body should remain in a comfortable, relaxed position, with your arms hanging loosely, not tense.

Jumping rope is considered to be one of the best cardiovascular exercises for burning calories and toning your legs.
