How To Criss Cross Jump Rope: Simple Tips For Beginners

[@Jump15official]

WHAT TIP FROM THE VIDEO HELPED YOU THE MOST? Having the right jump rope length can make a HUGE difference and there is a lot of misinformation out there (hint: it's not he typical up to the armpit nonsense). Know how to size your rope: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZSclYWZn9hmoZI

[@carli.easter]

Love the opening lol 😂 Nice play on words there! Most helpful tips for me was integrating the alternate foot step to allow for more errors when learning.

[@Jump15official]

Haha thanks Carli!

[@submeg5183]

Definitely pushing your arms at when crossing to make the loop big enough to jump through. Within 5 mins I could do 5 in a row. Great video!

[@bossmarcel100]

…breaking down the movements in its steps one after another 👍🙋🏻‍♂️

[@pauleaster958]

Great tips on crossovers. You break it down in such a good way to show where hands elbows and crossings should occur. Very good!

It happens when your learning. Just start slow and it shouldn't sting as much 😉

[@adrianclaudiu90]

Very clear thank you ! I just got my cross rope and started today, omg i feel like i need to relearn how to jump again ! even if i am newbie. You have nice tutorials on your page ! I hope to see more beginner tutorials ! Thank you !

[@Jump15official]

Any specific beginner topics you really need covered? Keep practicing, it takes time!

[@Darkclaw00700]

I’ve watched different videos and have been practicing the criss cross for a year plus now and somehow my arms manage to look awkward and not look symmetrical. I’ve been filming my form to see what I’m doing wrong and I still struggle. I look forward to getting this move down to where I can do consecutive criss crosses in a rapid pace and look seamless like you and other amazing jump rope folks like Rush Athletics

[@Jump15official]

Check out this video I just made on Criss Cross Tips. Stay patient, sometimes a skill can take a while to click, but when it suddenly does then it's off to the races. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGe7lXaLptV3rKM

[@farykal3771]

Thank you

[@HeatherEvansCoaching]

Ohmygoodness...as someone who can't jump rope to save her life, your skills are so impressive! WOW!

[@Jump15official]

I was horrible when I first started. Start with the basics and over time with good practice, you can become way better at this exercise than you think!

[@Efand]

Will try this thank you

[@Jump15official]

👍 Get it!

[@roberttgwena9047]

[@luigijavier8531]

Hi hoping i could get some help, i can do the criss cross albeit inconsistently, my biggest prob is after doing the first X (cross) with my arms and I go back to the regular position, sometimes my rope gets tangled... any help would be much appreciated!!!

[@Jump15official]

Play with spacing between your hands during the cross and uncross. If your hands are really close together as they pass, there is a higher probability of the rope tangling on itself.

[@timon6773]

Another tip is doing one regular jump first to get the Momentum. It find it much harder to start with crossed arms.

[@megiMove]

Do you have a video of exercises you can do and learn when ur feets need some days off ? If there is drills we can do with the rope like siden swings or back swings drills ? So i dont stop fully for days without using that time to atleast learn something. Ive transition to barefoot shoes and the feet need more time than regular shoes after jumping. 😅

[@Jump15official]

the only ones I can think of is practicing side swings ( single & double) or the EB side swing shown in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hKati5-Hq5yKiZI

[@megiMove]

Everytime I watch your videos it reminds me that I need to take my jumprope out. Next step--write 'jump rope!' on my calendar!

[@Jump15official]

Their you go Stacey! Make it priority #1 before you do anything else once you get home! Let me know how it goes!

[@JohnWickstairs]

Great tutorial. If someone is 5’10, what jump rope length do you recommend?

[@Jump15official]

Probably start around 8.5ft and gradually shorten as you dial in your form.👍

[@Jump15official]

I'm 5'10" and use an 8 ft rope

[@JohnWickstairs]

@@Jump15official Great thank you for the reply! I’ve been trying really hard to get the criss cross down but I think I’ve been using a rope that’s too long. Mine is 10 ft and I’m about 5’10. Hopefully adjusting the rope to 8.5 or 8 will make criss crosses better

[@Jump15official]

It can depend on form so first go to 9 ft and then continue doing it in increments so you don't go too short. And don't cut until your sure you want that length! 👍

[@mohamedirshad4903]

Thanks mate 👍 👌

[@loricordero5505]

i jump rope with the 1/4 rope i can almost all the basic moves although when i use the speed rope i can not do the basic move. where am i going wrong

[@Jump15official]

You may need to slow down. A speed rope may be out pacing your feet or your technique is breaking down.

[@loricordero5505]

Thank You i

[@spinbackwards]

Howdy Kyle, Many thanks for posting your work. I can do 2, 3 or 4 bounces, then cross. I can do that for over a minute. But every time I try to link a few crosses together without a bounce in-between, I trip. The rope hits me in the ankles. I tried going to your website but when I do I get a security error. Is your website up? Would love to send you a video of me tripping, so you help me get it.

[@Jump15official]

Weird, my site comes up for me. You can email me at [e-mail] or send meds DM on IG @jump15_official

[@spinbackwards]

@@Jump15official Howdy Kyle. I'm not on social. Just emailed. many thanks,

[@mohdizuanmy]

May I know the length of the rope? Is it shorter than the normal?

[@Jump15official]

I use an 8 foot rope. Check out my sizing tutorial below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZSclYWZn9hmoZI
