Jumping rope has known to be an activity for kids for many years.
However, times have changed, and adults are slowly accepting it as a part of their lives now.
They believe this exercise will deliver the effectiveness any exercise would.
It may seem very easy when children are skipping across the ground.
But make sure you do not underestimate the activity; it is very strenuous and I will caution you to be very careful with it.
Do not jump so hard and strain yourself.
It is deemed advisable that you take it slowly and gradually; take 25 jumps in one rep.
this will build the stamina and get you prepared for the real exercise.
Take some rest between the rests; it is highly important that you do so.
First start off with skipping for 3 minutes and take a minute's break, then move to the next stage of skipping for three and a half minutes and then rest for forty-five minutes.
Decrease the number of seconds you sit down to rest, after every rep and increase the time for performing each rep.
The first step taken into notice before the exercise is the purchase of a skipping rope.
These ropes are found in any sport gear store and possibly in a toy store as well.
The handles of these ropes should be soft and comfortable to hold.
Also make sure that it is capable of absorbing the sweat released by your palms.
Make sure that the jump rope is your size.
The rope should fit the size of one's torso.
Hold your jump rope such that the rope sways by your feet; place a foot right in the middle of the rope.
Then pull your handles up; the handles should reach your armpits.
Any other size can tangle you up or may cause you to trip.
Not everyone knows how to jump so the following should be strictly adhered to if you are a beginner.
Every exercise you do with the jump rope should have your arms placed by your side and the mid rope should be in front of your feet.
Beginner's Technique Stand in such a position that the rope is behind your feet.
When you start you will swing the rope which will cause it to go over your head.
The swinging action will be managed by your wrists.
The jumps you make should be done by your "feet".
Notice, I said feet, which means that your feet jump together.
Back Jump It's the same as the previous step except for the fact that when you start jumping the rope should be in front of your feet and make sure you jump with your feet, together.
Jog Step Jump This is similar to the basic jump step, except that you do not move your feet together.
Attempt the skipping in a running fashion.
Zigzag Jump This is, again, similar to the basic jump except that your arms should cross over each other.
Twist Jump The jumping is, once again, done in a similar pattern as the basic jump, but an addition to this is that your lower body twists from one side to the other.
Double Under This requires a lot of practice from your side.
Once you get in the routine try doing a beautiful stunt; swipe the rope from under your feet twice for every time you jump.
Learn the stunt then you can incorporate as more as three to four swipes.
Square Jump Make a square using a chalk on the floor can help you start with this type of jumping.
Divide those squares into small four equal sized squares and then jump on every square while skipping.
You could start with the basic jump and then slowly add the zigzag and twist jump or whichever you like.
Whatever you do make sure that you're having fun while you're at it.
