What It Is
One small hop for each turn of the rope. It's a classic way to warm up, raise your heart rate and sharpen your footwork.
How to Do It
Hold the handles at hip height with your elbows close to your sides. Turn the rope with your wrists and hop just high enough for it to pass under your feet. Keep a steady rhythm where you can talk in short sentences but not sing.
Skill Level
Beginner. One new pattern or machine to learn, with light loads and low risk.
Type
Cardio. Raises your heart rate to build endurance and heart health.
Engagement
Bilateral. Each rep works both sides of the body at once.
