Jumprope Tricks?

Question

What are some super easy but cool looking jump rope tricks for beginers (other than the butterfly/cris-cross) thanks! :)

Answer 1

I use jump rope as a cardio workout, so I don't know all the fancy tricks they do at those jump rope competitions.

However, I do incorporate a few tricks into my workout to lessen the monotony and improve footwork and coordination.  These include:

- cross-overs (criss-cross)

- side-swing

- double-unders

- double-under crossover

- and just random footwork

Here's a link to a short portion of my jump rope workout in which I demonstrate those tricks:
