As you swing the rope around jump your feet open hips-distance apart as if performing a jumping jack. Hop over the rope with your feet landing in this wider stance. Then, hop your feet back ...

Keep it as one fluid movement instead of two small hops. Increase the speed of the rope using your hands, which increases the speed at which you jump. Build up to 1 minute in the first 10 days.

Has your stable jump rope routine lost its bounce? Bring back the fun and challenge with these seven surprising moves. Get hopping with bunny jumps. And why not challenge your friends to the limbo?

How? By standing on the center of the rope and extending the handles. If they reach your armpits, you’re ready to hop to it!
