How do you "Jump Rope" excercise?

pretty sure it's due to the FPS limit on the GIF. might even be doctored to enhance the effect.

trying to find the source of that I found these

The world record is something like 332 skips in a minute

and her matching facial expression?

anyway, wow... those girls are awesome. i hadn't realised so many tricks and variations were possible. maybe i should take up the practice to help my table tennis, since quick bouncing motions are extremely useful.

but, yea... looks like the asian girl was a pretty good match for the gif. nice finds.

Tie the rope around you and crawl like a worm.

I bought myself one of those jump ropes but I'm having a hard time figuring it out. How do you use this thing? I know you have to jump and swing the rope over and under so it could go under you but why is it so god darn difficult?

Seriously, if you having trouble learning how to do it, try the motions without the rope for a while. Look at a video of someone who does it well and imitate that. Get your arms and legs into the rhythm of it, then introduce the rope.

I watched a documentary about jumproaping years ago. It was called "Jump!" and it basically followed these kids around who competed in national and world jump roping championships.

When I say these kids (mid-late teens) were absolutely amazing athletes, I mean it. I didn't think the sh!t they did with jump ropes was remotely possible.

They'd come up with whole complex routines. Doing front and back flips while jumping rope... acrobatic sh!t. Crazy.

Beware though... it will make you want to never pick up a jump rope again.

Try to forget the fact that she's swinging a rope under her butt and it just looks like she's having some kind of seizure.
