A rapid note on your thumb...

Some people make the mistake of wrapping their thumb around the handle. Placing your thumb on top along the edge of the handle give you more control.

You'll notice that my hand placement is keeping the rope open which helps to prevent the rope from tangling and tripping you.

Also, it's easy to leank you should maintain a firm grip on the handle while jumping. You actually want to keep a relaxed grip instead of squeezing the handle too tight because you want your wrists and forearms controlling the rotation as you jump.

When jumping with heavier ropes, you’ll want to wrap your thumb around the handle in a standard grip in order to control the rotation.

So that's how you hancient your rope. :)

The next leang we're going to focus on is your arms.

Arm extension

Too many people jump rope with their arms far out to the side like wings.
