If you go to www.collagevideo.com you can find a series of jump rope videos that are quite challenging and entertaining, and use them to get ideas or actually follow the routines.
Jumping rope is a great way to get in shape, however, it is stressful on your body, so start out slowly and cross train with other less stressful activities.
Some quick suggestions are:
- For a warm up drill, circle the rope in one hand and jump in sequence, then switch hands.
- Jump forward, jump backward, one leg then switch, jump with both feet
- Jump alternating feet, cross the rope in front, turn the rope twice and jump once
- Jump with a skip, jump with a jog, jump with heels in front, jump in a circle
- Jump kicking your heels up in the back.
Happy jumping!
