After a 52 year hiatus from skipping rope I recently started “doing the thing” again. I’ve incorporated it into my daily two mile walk at a local playground with the padded material around the playground equipment. Jumped one session on the concrete and quickly learned that my 70 yo knees didn’t like that. Still relearning, I only jump three days a week but it’s coming back to me! I refuse to be a fat, slow old man😎

[@JumpRopeDudes]

I love that! No matter what, you find a way to do the thing! 3x a week is awesome 💪🏻

[@SpikeSpiegelSpacecowboy]

1 - watch tutorial videos 2 - start slow / be patient 3 - use heavier ropes 4 - Don't jump rope on concrete, try a mat 5 - use weighted ropes, instead of weighted handle ropes 6 - bring elbows in while jumping rope 7 - keep hydrated 8 - don't jump rope while lifting weights (do it separately) 9 - work on developing your flow before doing tricks (skate example) 10 - nothing (?)

[@gerogeri4736]

I am 39. Back to jumping rope after experimenting with different sports and martial arts and still think that bodyweight exercises (pullups, pushups, squats) plus jumping rope are the best for me and better to stick with it. Because it is free, it is efficient and you can do it till you are old. And important is that you dont need to go too hard: 100 pushups and squats with pullups every other day, plus jump rope 5-6 days a week for 15 min is the best protocol. For me, at least. I came to this after my own experience with experimenting. Oh yeas, sometimes I incorporate kettlebells into my routine 😅. And don't forget stretching and mobility. Thank you, jump rope dudes. Salut from Kazakhstan 🎉

[@JumpRopeDudes]

This quote right here 👉🏼 It's free, it's efficient and you can do it till you're old! Yesss, keep doing the thing!!

[@joseadrianobaltieri4773]

Two more things I think are very useful : 1) Jump in front of a mirror sometimes, say every other day. Helps to correct your form. 2) Try to tape your jumping and watch it in slow motion. Again it helps to correct your form. #1 I've done very often. #2 still have to buy a Cam Tripod and organize the space to do it. Talking from Brazil here. Best wishes !

Great tips! I often tell people to video themselves and take a look at their form that way. you learn a lot!! 💪🏻

I was glad to hear you say that jumping rope is frustrating. I used to jump rope all the time as a kid. When I started jumping a few years ago i expected it to be like riding a bike; just jump, on and go. But it wasn't. In fact it was so frustrating for my husband and I that we really hated it for the first year or two. We would try to jump for a few days or so and then just hate it and quit for a while. We did that for about two years. We have finally gotten to the point where jumping is our main exercise. Even though we still aren't great at it we finally like it. 🙂

[@JumpRopeDudes]

There's a learning curve, for sure. I'm proud of you guys for sticking with it! Working through frustration is a great character building exercise 🤣

It's similar with running. When you start you basically can't burn enough calories to lose weight. One doughnut or pb on toast and the calories are gone, now I can burn 1000 and it feels like nothing. Not there with skipping yet but I'm enjoying learning.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Enjoying the process is what it's all about! Sounds like you're killin it! Do the thing 💪🏻

[@queenvictorian5950]

I am about to start jumping, im already rebounding but yeah i agree that weights on the wrist would be like what jumping on concrete does to the knees . I think weighted wrist would increase wrist injury potential.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

💯 it's NOT a good idea to add weight to the limbs with ankle or wrist weights. I've seen people wear a weighted vest, and you can use a weighted jump rope, which is what I recommend.

Hi - last year I bought weighted ankle & gloves to wear while I ran. Now, can the “weighted gloves help in the same manner as the weighted jump rope”, like you recommended? Thank you.

I need an advice. I don’t live in a house with much space. Just an Appartement and the height of the ceiling is 2,5 m. I am 1,54 m tall. So I wonder if I could jump without a rope. So I can also jump during wintertime or if it’s raining.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Sure! If it's your long term exercise plan you might want to get the ropeless by crossrope, not only does it provide many of the same benefits, but it will feel so much like a real rope that if/when you do jump with a real rope you won't feel like a beginner!

“Jumping on concrete will destroy your ropes”. I thought you were going to say it will destroy your KNEES. 😅

A mat is super beneficial for protecting your knees and joints!! I feel like I've said that a ton lol but you're right - it's worth repeating! It's not that jumping on concrete will destroy your knees but for a lot of people who may already have injuries/mobility issues, a mat is a life saver!

Key Takeaways: - Watch KZbin tutorials to learn proper jumping rope form and fundamentals early on - Start slow and be patient when learning - it can be frustrating at first before you build up the skill - Use heavier ropes (0.25-0.5 lbs) to better feel the rope and match your footwork - Avoid jumping on concrete to preserve the ropes - Opt for weighted ropes rather than weighted handles - Bring your elbows in and keep your hands closer to your hips for better form - Stay hydrated during intense jump rope workouts - Do jump rope and weight lifting separately, not combined in the same workout - Focus on developing your flow and rhythm before learning tricks - Appreciate the journey and process of learning jump rope - don't change anything about the experience

If you’re not specifically into intermittent fasting, I’d recommend having a quality pre workout meal about 1.5 hours prior. Even if it’s just a protein smoothie or whatever. I used to jumprope fasted. But when I started having a smoothie beforehand, the quality of my workouts went through the roof. WAY more energy for the workouts and I can recover far faster too.
