Thank you for this video! 🙏 I applied these tips today and they made a huge impact! I was able to jump for a longer period without tripping and your tips made me more mindful of my form! I started jumping rope a few weeks ago and I look forward to learning more. Subbed! ❤

[@Jump15official]

Nice! Love to hear when people see immediate results. Good job applying what you learned🤜 Thanks for the support!

This is THE best beginner video to address trip ups. I didn’t even realize I was doing these issues

[@Jump15official]

You have to be able to identify what is going wrong 👍 Glad it helped!

[@michaellynn9763]

This was absolutely perfect! I stopped jumping rope (after a relatively short period) because regardless of how many articles and tutorials I watched, I could never identify why I was failing. After watching your video, I know exactly where I was going wrong and exactly how to rectify it!! Thanks man :)

[@Jump15official]

Yes! I love hearing this! Identifying the causes allows you to make the proper adjustment. Welcome back to the rope game Michael!🤜🤙

[@shawndidstuffbeforehehadki806]

The slow motion helps to see where the rope trips up on your feet. Great breakdown! It's crazy though. Many jumpers think that the trip up is a jumping or leg issue, but it's nearly always a wrist or arm issue. Great stuff man!

[@Jump15official]

💯 Yes, you gotta understand how your hand positioning affects the rope. That's when you can really start moving forward and decreasing the amount of trip ups👍

[@xcrismendx]

Finally a video that explains and visually shows common mistakes in form. Thanks!

[@Jump15official]

[@dr.s.p.]

Finally! Someone who lets us know what we might be doing wrong. This is brilliant. It fixed me almost immediately. I’m more aware of what happens when I tire. I am 72 though and my hands move out when I tire out. Your video definitely helped me go longer without always bloody catching my ankles. Thank you.

[@Jump15official]

Awesome! Don't worry, you're not alone. When anyone tires regardless of the sport, that is when the errors start to happen more frequently. Glad it helped!👍

Thanks so much man. I remember jumping rope back in school and I was ok no problem. Few decades later, I pick up one up and was ok like riding a bike however, 30-50 skips in I trip again and again getting frustrated. Turned to KZbin and found this. I needed this video as I just wanna get a bit of cardio done during lockdown. I'll grab the body length mirror and take it outside, skip in front of it to see if I can identify the problem a little better. Much love from Melbourne Australia 🤙

your enthusiasm is contagious! I appreciate the emphasis on form and technique. Just recovered from a bad injury and despite my body doing better my mind has been in a funky state after not exercising for almost 4 years. If that injury taught me anything its patience so Ive patiently been waiting for the simple exercise I can do with a smile on my face and I think this is it. I'm going to have to start slow but this might just be it 😎

[@Jump15official]

Sorry to hear you've been dealing with that for so long. Definitely ease your way back into working out. What was the injury?

[@RebelHippyProductions]

@@Jump15official Thank you! I tore my Achilles in 5 locations but they weren't full ones so I was able to (very slowly) heal from them. I wore a boot for two years, paid for physical therapy out of pocket, the whole shebang. I can't do jumping Jack's but my PT said jumping rope would be fine so long as I ease into it. I've been slowly lifting light weights and swimming to strengthen my legs but now that its winter in NYC, I dont have an indoor pool that's practical to get to. So now, jump-rope! 😎

This is a great video! I will pay more attention to my form when I jump rope. Will check out the rest of your videos. Just started jumping rope. I would love to able to jump for 5mins for basic form. Last year I hurt my ankle a bit when I tried to jump after I worked at my pizzeria all day, did not pay attention. Too fast too soon. My ankle is better now, want to build my stamina on jumping rope. It isn’t as easy as it seems. I am doing 50jumps each day for 2 weeks. Today is my second day.

[@FIRESTORM23]

My 2 cents as a Newbie here. GREAT VIDEO! I wish ALL beginner training videos stressed jumping in front of a mirror early and often! I have the 1/4lb and 1/2lb cross ropes w AMP and have been practicing for about a month, nearly everyday. I did the cross rope 14-Day challenge and found it too advanced and all the footwork made for a lot of frustration cuz I couldn’t even do the basic jump consistently. Yesterday I saw this video so today I jumped in front of a mirror and recorded. Tho it FELT like I was symmetrical, the mirror and recording told otherwise- it was so obvious my form was not symmetrical and my arms drifted… I had no idea! It was a game changer and my practice today was GREAT!! As I said, I wish ALL beginner training videos explained what causes tripping and stressed jumping in front of a mirror when you start jumping rope! I’ll be skipping more “beginner” challenges and doing “free” jumping (in front of a mirror and recording to watch slow-mo) until I nail the basic jump… and possibly all the other “beginner” foot work … before moving on to “Beginner” challenges.

[@Jump15official]

Yes! Awesome dude! Good job putting the tips to practice. You'll be shocked at how fast you'll start improving as you begin to nail consistency in form and technique 🤙🤘 Happy Jumping!

Great video, and others as well. Any suggestions for people with one fused wrist? I have to compensate the wrist being locked with elbow and shoulder movement...

[@Jump15official]

Unfortunately you don't have much of a choice. Elbow would be the next best, but try to keep the movement small. You may be able to drive the rope speed a bit more with your non fused wrist.

[@milangrzin5353]

@@Jump15official Thanks for reply. Basic jumping is going ok. Thanks to this video I concluded that fused wrist might be the cause of tripping.

Thanks great video. I just started jumping but having some ankle pain. What do you suggest?

[@Jump15official]

When starting out you can expect some lower leg soreness and pain as your body gets used to jumping. Just be sure to give some breaks, stretch, and don't overdue it. That can lead to injuries like plantar fasciitis or shin splints. Gradually increase duration over time👍

[@anthonyperkins5856]

Nice video. In learned a lot from this. I can’t jump rope to save my life. I take Krav Maga, boxing, Maui Thai and I still can’t jump rope lol. I brought me one and want to add it to my exercise. With anything you have to learn how to do it no matter how easy it is.

[@Jump15official]

For sure man. A rope with more weight in it will help you learn the timing👍

[@microwave911]

Thx for replying comments

[@verdrehteseele8525]

Kyle that is really awesome guide. However I've got something important to add. The imbalance on the hand positioning (one higher and one lower) is a extremely difficult problem to fix. I suffer from it. My left and right arm do not feel equal when doing something like pushup or skipping. When I pushup, usually my right arm is little farther. When jumping the left is much lower. I believe it all started after I suffered from a little injury on the left arm. The problem is this dissymmetry feels normal. When jumping if I manually keep both arms same, it feels that they aren't equal and I trip up or gradually they change the position. Even when I do pushup, same problem. I don't even know which arm is weaker. Have you got any solution? I jump ripe outdoors without any mirror. This problem is very annoying and hard to solve due to physical mascular imbalance. I've been able to reduce the degree by shortening my rope considerably.

[@Jump15official]

I know what you mean. I still have a slight imbalance due to separating my left shoulder in college. You may have to live with some imbalance due to injury, otherwise it's trying to make an adjustment and sticking with it as best you can over time to develop a new natural position. Things like this just take time and concious effort. If you can get access to a mirror, I think that is the best way to fix these types of things because you get real time feedback. Also depending on the injury, maybe you need to work on strengthening that side some. If it is weak it may be allowing it to drop lower than the other side. That's just a thought as I am no doctor.

[@user-ym9dz5uy2v]

Dam I found the error of my jump roping lol I put it forward because I like the sound of the whip on the ground, but now I see I put it too far forward when I'm tired. Thanks my man, its hard to see from crappy self-record angles when you don't know what your looking for.

[@Jump15official]

Glad it helped! I would recommend snagging an inexpensive tripod for your phone. It will provide much better angles for review👍
