The Easiest Jump Rope Workout for Beginners from Crossrope

[@almarosanieto4197]

Watched 10 other beginner videos, this was by FAR the BEST one! Thank you from a newbie want to jump rope woman!! Loved the tutorial and I am excited to get started!!! YOU made it easy and sooo motivational!

[@Jadefull]

Exactly!! Very sensitive towards beginners. Love this!!💜💜💜

[@TheFelishagay]

Getting back into jumping you made it look so easy, the pace looks great 👍

[@reineressusbilla9162]

Watched about 10 or more beginner jump rope tutorials. This is the best for one who is beginning to jump.

[@randydallos8968]

Great beginner workout! I have no jump rope experience and this workout has helped me so much. Some helpful suggestions for the community: 1. Get the 1lb Crossrope and Power Handles. The heavier rope makes it easier to go slow and helps with overall awareness for the rope/your jumps. 2. Substitute regular jumps in place of alternate step jumps during the workout. Once I get a solid foundation of doing reg jumps then I’ll start incorporating alt step jumps in the workout. 3. Keep doing it! Jumprope is a skill to be learned, it’s going to take time. Do this workout at your own pace 5-7 times per week. 4. See the first suggestion. If you can swing the cost, the Crossrope is worth it. I would of given up by now if I tried to learn with a regular weight rope. The Crossrope was hands down the best piece of fitness equipment I’ve ever purchased.

[@t66sha]

This is such useful advice, thank you! You suggest a 1lb rope but his link goes to a 1/4lb. Which is better for a beginner? I’ve managed to learn how to skip but the rope is so light it’s super fast and I’m way out of breath after about 50 continuous jumps and feel like I’m about to die!

[@missnurseeri]

@@t66sha The heavier rope will force you to move more slowly and deliberately with your movements. I bought the set with the 1/4 lb and the 1/2 lb. I trained consistently with the 1/2 rope for about 2 months now. Earlier this week I used the 1/4 lb rope for the 1st time in quite a while, and it felt like child's play! 😂. I couldn't get back to my 1/2 weight fast enough. Lol. I am looking to buy the next weight set, but I plan to save up for it 1st.

[@jlogan2228]

Cant thank you enough for this video. I was getting frustrated bc exactly like you said I was trying to improve too fast vs starting slow and building up. I just got my half lb rope in and immediately went from 2-3 skips with the Walmart rope to 10-20 skips with the half pounder. This is only my second week of jumping rope in my life so it's KILLING my ankles bc I'm so heavy but I'm making sure to stretch and keep good form.

[@laural2876]

This is a good workout and the heavy ropes will make you faster with the lighter ones too. Thanks Dave!!

[@Crossrope]

Yes, they definitely make you faster and more proficient with the lighter ropes

[@javieremunguia1405]

great teacher! thank s man,-may the Lord Bless you!

[@stephenhardy6515]

I bought 'Crossropes' but have struggled (yes I'm overweight) now I've seen this I'm going to give it another go ... looks much easier

[@Dee_Coaster_Chic]

OMG THE BEST ADVICE ON HOW TO BEGIN!!! (Or begin again ... in my case) I am definitely one of those folks trying too do much TOO FAST. 😟 Thank you ssssssoooooo much for sharing ❤

[@randireinhold2246]

Excited to try this! How many cycles are good for a beginner?

[@unknownyoutuber7771]

I have a speed rope. I've had it for years. Just doing the basic jumps for now since I can't do the alternate steps. Thanks for this tutorial.

[@maakeklein4073]

Nice demonstration.most others are showoffs and out to impress the ladies.i combine it with walk or run.2 min skip then 5 walk or run. Good for you my friend. Most important is go easy. Your not in competition with yourself. I'm 66.abd love my skipping! I love your lack of ego.you are by far the best!

[@allenhanshaw9226]

I'm an over the road truck driver and was looking for stuff I could take with me on the road to exercise in our near the truck without taking up much space as there's not much in just a semi. I just ordered the strong set with 1lb and 2lb rope to get started.

[@ma.teresabautista9155]

Just got my get fit bundle today and tried them. And for those asking which to get for beginners, in my "beginner" opinion, get the lean set first. I was able to do this slow jumps with the 1/2lb rope without any problem and for longer periods. I was able to do it (just a tad better) with the 1lb rope but the problem is, since im new to this, the rope seems a little heavy for me and made me tire more easily which resulted in less jumps than the other. Since we are beginners, i think our goal is to improve our jump skills then do as much jumps as we can, and the get lean is enough for that. I dont think i will be using my get strong set just yet and concentrate on the 1/2lb for the time being until im confident enough with my skills. Also for those wondering if its worth buying or just opt for a cheaper set, as for me, i tried 3 jump ropes and i can only do about 25 jumps before i trip, and i cant do slow jumps with those. But with crossrope, omg, i will die out of breath first before i trip 😂 i dont know why but its awesome. Feels like a pro in an instant!

[@mang6423]

Thanks for the great information! I just ordered my 2023 get lean set with the new upgraded handles. My goal is to become a jump roper a few times a week. I'm 59, ex-college football player, worked out forever, martial arts and currently training in jiu-jitsu, but jumping rope is very challenging for me! It's for sure it's own skill despite your athleticism. Once again thanks for explaining things so well and good luck.

[@MichCoccaBene]

i just got my crossrope two days ago and have been practicing, I grew up in Brooklyn NY and was always jumping rope as a kid, now i'm46, its not nearly as easy lol but i'm keeping at it! I am going to order one for my almost 14 year old son bec he's of course taller than me. I started with the 1/4 rope and found it easier but taking others' advice switched to the 1/2 but trip up more? I should have watched this first bec I started jumping fast off the bat. I will restart using these tips here! thank you!

[@vincentcrowley5196]

Thank you for the tutorial, I have just purchased a weighted rope, I have often tried to skip with the cheap plastic ones from sporting goods stores but kept tripping over the rope in barely 30 seconds . My aim is to get to a 3 minute non stop with 1 minutes rest like a boxer . I can do just over 30 seconds with weighted rope , first used today

[@maryrosedelacruz7940]

Thank you. This is the best beginner video and helped me the most by far.

[@storiesoffaith77]

The best I’ve ever seen! Thanks 🙏

[@bjamminsincebirth3494]

I just bought my 1lb jump rope. I’m excited!

[@mohbra]

Excellent beginner video out there. I have ordered my heavy set and subscribed. What time counter are using on your phone. Cheers

[@larryvuchanovich1150]

Thanks, Dave for the beginner video

[@Crossrope]

Any time!

[@federicogandolfi8104]

It seems very good i will try. My problems are my knee. They pain so much some times

[@Jadefull]

So easy to understand and follow. Thank you for this awesome tutorial!💜💜💕

[@carolynkelb5193]

Thank you for making this jump rope video. This is the only beginning jump rope video on KZbin that is actually for beginners. I would like to know how to jump rope for obese people. Is their a certain way to jump? Should I start a challenge? I am just starting my jump rope journey. I am a stay at home mom and have 4 kids ages 6 months to 5 years old. I would love any helpful advice.

[@ihavenohair1975]

Awesome tips and instruction, thank you very much!

[@robinbhairam7508]

I was looking at the JRD ‘beginners’ workout ... but think I’m going to try this first thanks. Update: Tried this workout this morning, I have a Crossrope get lean set ... the heaviest rope (1/2lb) is not heavy enough to turn as slow this ... not even close. Think if you want to do it at this speed the 1lB is the way to go.

[@catlovers9445]

Thank you!!!!

[@ReadingThing]

Ordered my Crossrope jump rope today! Can’t wait to do this!

[@Crossrope]

Yes! 💪🏽

[@quiet1storm]

I love your ropes! they make jumping so much easier for me.

[@Crossrope]

Perfect. I love to hear it

[@harpreetKaur-dy1hd]

I have been looking for a video like this!!! Thank you soo much!

[@sebastianhaj]

finally , a real helpful video. thanks dave

[@Crossrope]

Glad to help!

[@Lizzie81sml]

Honestly the best beginner video I've seen and I've seen a lot. I can do slow until the cows come home! But anything pay that i can't keep rhythm and it's so frustrating. Any tips? (Other than practice)

[@Crossrope]

Sure, Lizzie! There are more helpful tips here: blog.crossrope.com/how-to-jump-rope/

[@RayPaganJr]

I got to try this next time. Today was first day and I didn’t do so well. Living in Florida heat doesn’t help, but I’m not gonna use excuse. Love my new Infinity ropes though.

[@ARTICFR0ST]

I recently started jumping rope. Is it wrong/bad that I prefer to jump with the boxer jump rope stance as opposed to this way?

[@ScottDabson]

Thanks for posting this! I just bought your beginners set and should be in in a day or two. I've been jumping just shy of a month and haven't mastered any tricks. I'm really looking forward to using your system, looks well built. I'm 6'2" 280 hopefully dropping that last number down.

[@Crossrope]

Hey Scott - thanks for the order! Sorry I'm just now responding, but let me know how the jumping has been going!

[@ScottDabson]

Jumping is going good! I'm sticking with it daily. Not so great on the tricks yet, I'm better doing tricks with the 1lb rope. Bonus, I'm a constant source of entertainment for my wife while I jump. Thanks for checking!

[@paultemple679]

great videos Dave

[@Bensch33]

Hi, i need to run 3km under 12min in 2 months and i am currently at 13 min 40. Have you got a jump rope workout which can get me there really quick without me having to run too often? would be nice and helpful

[@josephkent3238]

Very helpful,thank you

[@arvinl]

I use the crossrope app, alternative step seem like you lean from side to side?

[@siddheshnikam1583]

Thanks a lot for this video. Really help to obServe ourself and do the basics right ..Thanks.

[@Crossrope]

Our pleasure!

[@SnakeyXT]

how are you doing slow jumps without the rope messin up lol.. i'll try this

[@twiggantt5350]

it's the heavy rope. mine does same.

[@macweastcoast3]

Hi Dave! Looking fit as hell as usual 😎👍💪 I love the crossropes and the heavy one is awesome and great to feel the burn especially for me I like to use at the end of jump workout for final push until nothing left. Love your videos. Happy Holidays, Dave 🎄🎶

[@Crossrope]

Thanks as always Melinda!

[@CasualCrow]

What's the weight shown? The video is 4 years old (per/2021) and features an orange-colored rope. The color codes have changed since then. What weight was "orange" four years ago?

[@robinbhairam7508]

Believe it is a 1lb rope Jon ... hope that helps?

[@theautomaton9313]

What is name of the music in the background?

[@fr3agnt]

Dave, do you ever stretch or do warm ups before starting the rounds, if so what? Thanks. Great info.

[@Crossrope]

Sorry I missed this earlier. We should be posting a video on this topic with a few days actually, but yes I do have some recommended warmups that are a mix of light jumping and some dynamic stretching movements, particularly in the lower body

[@stacey-annh1592]

This is the real deal...thanks 🇯🇲

[@QueriesSolution]

M gona try this tomorrow

[@stanman1958]

Best beginner video.. thanks

[@oj9847]

I got arthritis in the ball of my foot. Will this exercise help?

[@D_Hill_Drums]

What’s the weight of the rope you’re using?

[@Crossrope]

This is our 1lb rope!

[@imrealgx.x7719]

Ok! Gotta get a crossrope, right!

[@simonewolfe-mcguire9826]

When you say heavy for beginners, do you mean 1/4, 1/2 or 1 lb?

[@JWB86]

Not easy to make a 10 minute video with little mistakes 👏

[@dianav.5146]

Please tell me what EXACT Crossrope you’re using? The “Beginner” set looks like a lightweight rope. TIA

[@maxleybourne1020]

Hi I’m bang on 6’2. Do I order the large which is up to 6”2 or the xl 6”2 and above? So you have Australia stockists or ship to aus?

[@Crossrope]

Hi, Max! You can order the Large! We do ship to Australia, however you can order directly from crossrope.com.au/!

[@babeinpnk]

Is crossrope made for outdoor uses? I just received the Lean set. May I use them outdoor without the mat?

[@Crossrope]

Yes you can use them outdoors Jessica! Of course, the less abrasive the surface the better it will be for your ropes and your joints. But yes feel free to take your workouts anywhere.

[@babeinpnk]

@@Crossrope Thank you. I ended up getting the Fit Bundle set. I bought them to my crossfit gym last night, and everyone were trying them. It was very funny to see them tried to use 2 lbs rope to do the double unders.

[@lowe-v3k]

I'm going to do this one! Just wish I had heavy rope.

[@jasminebrito17]

Which timer he is using?

[@johnelse3897]

I still cannot do alternative foot

[@gvicvic569]

This guy is saving my fat ass. The doctor told me I was borderline diabetic, and with a fatty liver. I lost 12 lbs. Now if he only sold glue to shut my mouth- so I could leave the fridge alone... Thanks and great product.

[@Collectors-Epic-Lounge]

I used to jump rope all the time.

[@dianav.5146]

Cross ropes just told me they NEVER recommend heavy ropes for beginners. What should I buy?

[@ma.teresabautista9155]

Yup. In my opinion, we (beginners) dont need the heavy ropes yet. The 1/2lb is enough. Even for this video.

[@lasseeriksen1873]

Hi are he landing flatt foot.?

[@symigirl8163]

Looks like he was landing flat footed and jumping on concrete (blacktop), lol.

[@pwkej78]

Is this for older adults. I’m 59 and overweight

[@beverlywentworth827]

I just received my starter kit. I bought the 1lb but it hurts the top of my hand. weird huh?

[@Crossrope]

Hi Beverly! That is strange. Try wearing training gloves and make sure you are gripping the handles correctly.

[@beverlywentworth827]

I'm going to try a squeeze ball to exercise my hand. I love the ropes

[@Vince3000XD]

Just started jumping rope a few days ago and I can't even do 10 jumps in a row :( My rope sometimes is kind of loose , I think it's because of my arm movement but maybe also because it's a very light/cheap jump rope. But I will just keep grinding

[@Crossrope]

Slow and steady wins the race!

[@esraaasaad3108]

i keep trying doing it with my rest but it doesn’t work .. how could i do this ؟

[@Crossrope]

Here are some quick tips you can follow: blog.crossrope.com/how-to-jump-rope/

[@mikeford5080]

Really, Is no one commenting that they want you to pay close to $100 for a skipping rope? Great racket you've got there.

[@Luckwatchero_Outdoors]

oh that jumprope is interesting

[@maakeklein4073]

I started off with an old guitar cable cos I couldn't afford professional skipping rope.

[@ax10m19]

Should my heels touch the floor or is all the weight supposed to be on the balls of my feet?

[@Crossrope]

Preferably on the balls of your feet!

[@ax10m19]

Crossrope Jump Ropes Thanks

[@undefinedname1398]

Mixed instructions from Crossrope and instructors, some say lighter ropes for beginners some say heavy ropes? I guess just buy them all and figure it out for yourself.

[@davidjohn4494]

Why a heavy rope for beginners, Thanks?

[@jlogan2228]

I just started jumping rope three weeks ago and from personal experience The heavier and thicker rope gives much more feedback meaning you feel where it is and when you mess up you can tell if it's your hand placement alot easier That bulk holds the arch and momentum better meaning you can jump a little slower to start without it going limp and tripping you up If you're like me and can only do 20-30 skips at a time for a few minutes before your feet start to ache the heavier rope let's you burn more calories and get slightly more out of the little bit you can do while you build up to it For reference. Two weeks in and I struggle with the 1/4 pound rope to get more than 3-5 skips. The half pound I can get between 10-30 depending how disciplined my hands are the 1 lbs rope I honestly get tired before I even trip up and it's the only rope I can use to practice other things besides basic bounce bc I need the slow forgiving pace

[@Signal_light_instructor]

Im 5'1 overweight.female.how many calories i h Should eat per day ?how many minutes a day i should jump ropa

[@twiggantt5350]

look up a calorie calculator online. learn how to calculate micronutrients (fats, carbs and protein) they are what make up your calories. and figure the average calories burned jumping rope with you're weight. If you and I jump the same weight rope the same amount of times and I weigh more than you I'll burn more calories.

[@twiggantt5350]

and the rope he is using will burn more calories than regular jumpropes. they're really good too I have the complete Infiniti set but you pay a good bit for them. worth it though.

[@mariavalencia5417]

This is impossible :( Day 2

[@chynabarnescb]

I suck ...I'm trying to retrain myself ...I'm doing something wrong

[@Crossrope]

What rope are you using Chyna?

[@chynabarnescb]

Crossrope Jump Ropes it has iron gym on it....the boxer one I guess
