Notes from the sub last time included shortening the rope and not wearing shoes. This has worked very well!
A couple people seemed concerned about my weight/my knees. Im 145, so in the healthy weight range, just need to tighten up from being heavier in the past.
Or should I jump in flat shoes I have some Nike killshot 2’s that I use for the gym. Thank you! Just got a new rope ordered and excited to try it out.
I would like to think I am fairly lean in my own right, but I haven’t jump roped in a few years. I decieded I would get back into it again, I bought a DEGOL ball-bearing skipping rope. I am a little worried because speed ropes may not be good for beginners like me, I just want to know. It comes tomorrow and I am mildly excited, I really hope I can come back to this sub for more! I just hope I didn’t make a terrible decision.
Hi everyone,
so I've been practicing crossovers and I can now pretty consistently jump over the cross but the rope will hit me in the back of the head very often. It hurts a lot too. How do I get over that?
It feels like crossovers have been much much harder than all the skills I've been learning so far as a beginner. Is that normal? I've also noticed that in general with jump rope, once a skill clicks it becomes much easier. Is this the case for crossovers as well cause I'm getting kinda frustrated.
I am a marathon runner and jump rope frequently as training abd passion. Struggled to find a free App for my Garmin 245 like Jump Rope, JumpJump, Jump counter and timer and many..to count and recrd jumps with reasonable accuracy ( +/-5) . But all them have issues.... Strava doesn't record jumps despite demands from users... Garmin doesn't display jumps ( shows only time, cals etc ) Love to hear from who found a solution...
