How to do the Jump Rope

  1. Hold the handles with your elbows close to your body and the rope behind your heels.

  2. Turn the rope with your wrists, not your whole arms.

  3. Make small hops on the balls of your feet, just high enough for the rope to pass.

  4. Keep a steady rhythm for your target time.
