I joined the university's boxing club and skipping is a big pert of their routine. (jumping rope to Americans.)

Ive never used a skipping rope before, and although I can jump over the rope, Im not doing it properly. I jump up way to much, I lift my legs too high and I just cant do the fucking thing properly. And Im trying not to left my legs u[p so high, but its so fucking hard, and Ive been practicing for ages, and its so fucking hard.

Anyone have any tips?

i only jump about 5 inches off the ground when i do it.
the faster you try and skip the closer to the ground you will jump because if you jump higher it slows your skipping down.

Jump rope for dummies.

1. grab rope.
2. swing rope over body.
3. jump slightly.
4. repeat steps 2-3.
