You ARE doing chad rope jumping, right, IST?
I always hit my ankles or feet then I have to start over
I am a tall lanky autistic and uncoordinated
i quit for this reason, i never could get a run going longer than a minute even after six months. back to cycling.
Practice makes perfect
Don't give up
check your form else get a longer rope.
You want to jump as soon as the rope hits the ground, focus! It takes about a month-ish to get good at this since its mainly about co-ordination, bigger you are harder it is to learn.
>Cheap
>Full body
Not even close you musty flamming gay
Crawling builds a goldy back ESPECIALLY when weighted PLUS has good carry over to marital arts
I'm also uncoordinated and autistic like
and get mogged by GF at jump rope
>jumping rope is a full body workout
I actually feel a bicep burn and I non cheat curl 50s for reps
haha thats two ways to have a nice day, get it guys? Cause jump could mean suicide in a context where someone is standing on a ledge or high building, and rope is a slang term for suicide by hanging cause it is done with a rope of some kind. I love accidental comedy like this
You can just jump up and down on the spot without a rope.
I mean, it makes sense if you just want to sweat a little, but without a real rope you won't train actual coordination and reflexes. Cordless jump rope is easily the biggest scam in this niche.
In what way does rope train coordination or reflexes? It's just a matter of technique and timing, once you get them down the exercise becomes as mindless as it would be without a rope. You think professional boxers manually track each swing of the rope or something?
Well it involves coordinating so there's that. You make a good point with reflexes but I don't think they're all that unrelated to timing. I can't explain why but I'm extremely smart and usually right.
I am too retarded for this shit, I keep hitting myself after like 5 seconds. Bit hard on my shins but I know what muscles I need to train to fix that issue so that isn't a problem
Running is fun though
Much funnier than rope dope jump that’s for sure
Bout as fun as a shiv in da taint
Does anyone here actually jump rope? I bought one and I have been trying to learn the boxer jump rope routine and it’s hard af. Any pointer’s would be appreciated.
I unironically learn how to jump rope on YouTube. Jump rope dudes explain pretty well how to do it, then you just go and train. When you fails, you keep doing it and eventually you'll nailed it. It's fun as hell, I'm doing it for 3 years at least 3 times a week. It improved my cardio a lot.
I did/do. In fact my whole fitness experience and life in general began with rope jumping, exactly because it was cheap and I could do it anywhere. I was fat and too much of a beta for gym or running, and I would take my rope and jump in the woods. I did for about 3-4 months until I got a bit leaner then I started going to the gym. I'm glad I did it that way. Cardio has always been a staple for me, I'm glad I haven't started going -immediately- at the gym since day 1, and I instead picked this other form of exercise.
It's annoying catching your foot and having to restart every 10 seconds, longest I've gone is 30 or so. I set a timer last weekend and jumped rope for 5 minutes, and my calves were sore as fuck for 2 days afterwards.
wtf is wrong with you guys
i usually do a 20min morning skip and i maybe have to reset 2-3 times lol
also i takes like 1sec to reset if you do like boxers starting with both hands on one side
either you have a trash coordination or there is something wrong with your rope
I want to, but I don’t know if I want to get a “weighted” one or not. I was gifted Amazon money, but since I literally never buy online, the online shopping experience was too much of a pain for me to continue. What should I get?
just get a regular rope
don't get fooled by the "weighted" ones, all it is going to do is make the cardio part of the rope less efficient in exchange for a more strength based one (just lift weights, man)
speed ropes are also a meme if you're a beginner, you get pretty much 0 feedback from using one, they're mostly good for those technical guys doing lots of dance jumping moves
tl;dr get a regular pvc rope
post body moron before we listen to your advice
Shit fucks up your shins
do tibialis raises so you have both calves and tibs to absorb the shock and enjoy your below the knees gains
>can also be used to have a nice day when you realize all your work will end up becoming a rotten cadaver

You ARE walking, right IST?
How many do you do?
I'm doing 600 as a warmup to lifting sessions, when I was younger and in shape used to do 1000, aiming to return to that.
I also try to double jump, but it always fucks up my knees
How tf would you even count em I fail to count reps at gym sometimes I’d go insane trying, I just put a timer
50 min is my cardio day
I count in twos (2,4,6,...) and my pace is pretty stable so it's not that hard.
50mins is insane. I do my warmup for around 5mins and it still feels like a lot
honestly dunno, i just set a timer like that anon
jump rope is great and versatile as very long liss
sometimes i will just put some anime on tv, and have my brain automatically keep jumping through the entire episode, then i take a break

Alright I'm trying to search for a rope, anyone know if this rope is good for a guy with 0 experience?
Yes great cardio and cordination especially now in the winter when you cant run outside
Its a jumping rope for fucks sake im sure its fine. Have some common sense
i have some ropes from elitesrs. for a starter i'd recommend you the 9mm one. the boxer rope is kind of an intermediate difficulty.
Overpriced
Tarus speed rope, every single boxing club in Ireland has them.
No it is not low impact. Especially if you're fat.
skill issue
>can't string together more than 20 double unders
how do they make it look so easy bros?
how to make boxer step look not so uncoordinated?
