- It’s FUN!
Buddy Lee’s Correct Jump Rope Form:
1. Maintain your balance by looking straight ahead
2. Maintain an upright posture
3. Maintain your weight on the balls of your feet
4. Jump only high enough to clear the rope (1” off the ground)
5. Land lightly on the balls of your feet
6. Keep your elbows near your sides.
7. Maintain your elbow joints at a 45 degree angle
8. When turning the rope, make 2” circles with your wrists.
9. Do not sacrifice good form for speed
How to determine correct rope length:
To determine your correct rope length, place one foot on the center of the rope and pull the handles up the sides of your body. If the handles extend beyond your shoulders, the rope is too long. As you become more proficient at jumping, shortening the rope will increase the rope’s rotational speed and improve your reflexes.
