  • Stand straight over the rope with your feet placed together.
  • Jump across your rope like how you normally would without bending your body much at a speed of about 15-20 seconds
  • Once get settled with a certain speed, up your pace slowly to do it as fast as you can.

Note: Make a gradual progress and take breaks.

Single-Legged hops:
Similar jumps, except single-leggedly. All you have to do is:

  • Stand straight over the skipping rope with your feet together like you normally do.
  • Raise your right foot off the ground and bend it like you would while you play hopscotch.
  • Try balance your weight on your left leg first.
  • When comfortable, jump over the rope, single-legged.
  • Make sure you land on the ball of your foot.
  • Do a set of 5 times and then switch legs.

Note: Do this only once you are through with the sprints and are absolutely comfortable with it.

Cross-legged jumps:

This is jumping with crossing your legs each time you jump. Here’s how you can get about it:

  • Stand over the skipping rope with your feet together like you normally would.
  • While taking your normal jumps, scissor your feet in front-back moves, each time you jump. In simple words, when you take your next jump, put one foot forward and the other back while you are making the jump.
  • Do it in sets of 5.

Note: Take breaks in between if you are a beginner.
