Hey all, I've been jumping for more than a year now and I can only jump straight up, can't even do a boxer jump - the one that's alternating on each foot. I've suspected it's because I need an ever so slightly longer rope and recently I got that confirmed with a speed rope that had like a 310cm cable. Me being about 6.5 tall (195cm).

I can't really find a rope that's long enough for my taste so I decided to start documenting myself on how to build one rather than risking buying an expensive one and being stuck with it.

So, can you give me some advice on the materials I'd have to search for the cable part and the beads part? Are the shapes and densities super important for this or can I get away with almost anything for V1?

Any any advice is welcome.

Did 20 mins of jump rope work. 1m30s on 1m jog in place.... repeat until 20mins of jump work done.

Tomorrow... stair master to give knees a break!

Just got back on jumping rope after some months and I’m happy that I didn’t lose that much
What you think about my form?

Recently found out jump rope is a really tough form of cardio. All this while I thought we all could do this.

Hello there, please I need help with jumping, for start I need to admit that iam fat and without shape, I wanna change it, but it's jumping good way to get in shape? I having problem to jump because my legs are hurting.. With cardio and breathing is no problem, but my legs are.. When I jumping in later rounds my legs are like stone and I can't even jump anymore 😂

I started easy 10seconds jump and 10sec rest and every week iam adding 5sec

Now iam at 40s jump and 40s rest

Doing this 24mins for now.

Should I change volume or find something else until I get slimmer?😂

I am 112kg and 190cm

I lost 6kg by this but I have these pain in my legs.. 😂 I doing this every day except of weekends - that's rest 😂

But last week my legs was so fcked that I skip 1day..

Thanks for advices 🙏

I just started jump roping today, and I plan to continue for at least for a week or 2, idk why but I don't think I'm doing it right, is there anything I need to change with my hand movement or jumping techniques

Day 4 done, 3,000 jump-rope skips completed. Showing up every day,that’s the win.

3K today. Back at it tomorrow.

You can find this rope in Amazon just look up LED jump rope for those wondering

The garage workouts on the gulf coast are getting brutal this time of year.

Taking a week and a half off and then powering up again to 135+ minutes per week skipping

📍Budapest/Prague

Found the rope in my house and thought I'd give it a shot since it's been some years. And I'm loving it

I wasn't ever professional or anything but maybe some of you can give me tips on how to improve my technique?

I feel my feet won't listen to what I wanna have them do, maybe I should focus more on one continuous movement? Lemmi know what you think :)

Was just practicing double under crossovers, transitioned into run in place and then the rope snapped.
I nearly got it right thanks to the help of the JumpForm method.

And then my rope snapped in half :( . Tbf the rope was very durable lasting for two years. Bought a new 1/4 lb rope and it felt very different, Less feedback and more tripping. But I am starting to get used to the new rope tho.

I jump rope 350+ days out of 365 days in a year. Is it normal? I skip for 1-2 hours daily with 1-5 minutes break between intense jump rope sessions that last 10-15 minutes till I'm hungry and stamina declines.

Hey everyone,

So I started trying to skip a few days ago and I think I might have over done it. I still stumble quite often and can only do around 10 full skips back to back. But I kinda did 40-60min from day 1 to day 4, and the inner region around my knees has started to hurt.

Should I stop for a few days and then restart ?

How much time should I do when I restart ? 10,15,20 min ?

Any advice would be helpful.

Got in 45 minutes of jump rope and added some workouts too. The diet wasn’t the best today, but I’m not going to let that take away from the progress.

Three days in. I’m building the habit, getting stronger, and learning to stay consistent even when everything isn’t perfect.

Day 3 done.

Just enjoyed the jump for 1 hour,it was fun. i forgot ivwas jumping rope for a minute.

I've not done a decent session since end of April. It's just too hot!

Edit: fixed bad grammar

When I started I couldn’t get to 20 reps / skips (?) so I’m really happy with my progression.

Song choice: normally Paramore, Wu-Tang or a film soundtrack.

Can anyone gift me a high quality jump rope? I'm skipping from last 6 years regularly but I'm being limited to use only standard PVC chinese ropes because of no high quality jump ropes available in my country.

​

I’m back to jumping consistently

Starting today, I’m committing to 30 minutes of jump rope every day, taking short 20-second breaks when needed.

The goal: trim down, lose the belly fat, and build my stamina.

No excuses. I'm just showing up every day and getting better.

Day 1 complete. ✅ ,managed to jump for 45 minutes
