Jump Rope Workout (and tricks!) –  with Sara Solomon

Remember when you could jump rope for hours on the playground and never get tired? Although it is harder than I remember as a kid, it is a GREAT workout and actually pretty fun! My friend Sara Solomon was recently in town and I talked her into giving me a littler tutorial. 🙂

Jump Rope Workout Tips

  • Land softly on the balls of your feet
  • Wear correct footwear
  • Jump on surface with some give (i.e. wooden floor); not concrete

Pro’s about Sara’s Jumprope:

  • It’s height adjustable customized to your height
  • The handles minimize rope tangling and friction
  • It’s portable and can fit in your purse!
  • Can be incorporated into any of Natalie’s workouts!

Jump Rope Technique #1 – Bounce StepJumprope Workout

Start out looking straight, keep your posture erect and just use tiny little jumps, about an inch off the floor. Remember to keep your elbows close to your body at a 45 degree angle and use small two inch circles with your wrists.  Try not to focus on speed, but more rhythm coordination and timing. This is critical for your jump rope workout.

Jump Rope Technique #2 – Side straddle

Start out using the same technique in the bounce step, except jump your feet in and out like a jumping jack, shoulder width apart. Land softly on the balls of your feet and keep your elbows in close to your body.

Jump Rope Technique #3 – Backward Shuffle

Start out in bounce step format then alternate, kicking your legs back at a 90 degree angle. Always remember to land lightly on your feet.

Jump Rope Technique #3 – Forward Shuffle

Begin jumping as you have, except this time kick the balls of your feet forward, without letting your body lean too far backwards.
