Today I’m so glad to find your jumping rope exercises on the KZbin. Would you teach more no hurting knees cordless jump rope exercises in 2024?

[@JumpRopeMom]

Hi there! I'd love to teach some low impact jumps. First tho make sure you're jumping no more than 1-2 inches off that ground and on a soft surface such as a mat. ;-)

This is SO helpful! I am just beginning my jump rope journey and seem to only be able to perform the basic jump 😂 I’m somewhat athletic but don’t seem to have that coordination when it comes to adding different foot steps. Can’t wait to try this and incorporate!

[@JumpRopeMom]

Hi Jill. Perfect timing then! Once you get this you’ll be able to add all the fun footwork 😉

Ever since I got into boxing, my skipping game was lacking, and your videos have helped me improve a lot! Will focus on this tip in my next session. Thanks for a ll the helpful tips, and Merry Christmas!

[@JumpRopeMom]

Thank you Amer! Love hearing this and happy to help! I’ll that fancy foot work is coming for you! 😉 Merry Xmas as well!

[@lizleiart]

Hey Karly, thanks so much for this tutorial! I struggle with alternate step and yet I see that all my skipping buddies find it so easy. I'll try this out today! 👍

[@JumpRopeMom]

Hi Liz! You’re not alone. Def try this out and I’m sure you’ll master it in no time 😉

[@Yogired008]

It’s a lot easier than it looks. This is one of my mini goals ❤️🙏🏼

Great video!! That ball drop did make me laugh. I hear that sound at my house, too, from cats.

[@JumpRopeMom]

LOL Thank you and yes I'm sure the cats love this time of year!

You have no idea how timely this video is for me! Last week I attempted the alternate foot step that resembled high knees and high impact. That strained my hip flexors and patella tendons. Ouch! I put down my rope and started my own version of this video instructions and no pain! But then I wondered if I was doing this right and your video appeared. Thank you so much! You have saved my jumping and my knees this winter.

Love hearing this Tina! You’re not alone and happy to help you safely 🤗

As someone who recently recovered from a knee injury from my last/first attempt at jump rope. I just know I did the knee bend Then landing flat foot with a straight leg. No wonder.

[@Yogired008]

[@JumpRopeMom]

Thank you again! I like to wear training shoes with good ankle and foot support :)

[@juliemcg73]

I'm a complete beginner. Tried this today, kept hitting the back of my thighs with the rope. Will try again tomorrow

[@JumpRopeMom]

Try videoing yourself and see where you're getting caught. Super helpful :)

[@IamMissM]

Glad to have found your channel Karly! I have been wanting to learn how to jump rope at 50! And I will try this technique now before I end up getting so frustrated. LOL! New subbie here from Sydney, Australia! ☺️🎄

[@JumpRopeMom]

Welcome and way to go! That's amazing and happy to help :)

[@suzieontheroad]

Great vid! Just one thing I don't really get: what exactly is the difference between this alternating foot step and a boxer step? Or is it basically the same? Thanks for the great content!

[@JumpRopeMom]

Good question! Check out my vid on 3 ways to do the boxer skip. There is a lot of nuance to the boxer skip now a days but definitely develop rhythm than alternative foot step ;-)

[@suzieontheroad]

@@JumpRopeMom thanks so much!! Many greetings from Austria ❤️

[@stephanies3862]

Hi JRM. Question, what is a good, affordable sneaker to wear for jumping rope? I am trying again to start jumping and my arches start to burn. I know my current sneakers isn't giving much support because they're not made specific for exercising.

[@JumpRopeMom]

Hi Stephanie great Q. Most shoes are worn down after 6months and loose cushion to help with impact. Try a training show or a running shoe with great ankle and foot support. If you go in a store and ask for that they should be able to find you some :)

An ornament just rolled under the tv table 😂😂

[@Samia_19]

[@JumpRopeMom]

😂 lol I was waiting for someone to comment on that! I Def recommend jumping at least 4 ft from your tree to avoid flying ornaments 😉😂
