1. Preparation: Make sure you have the right skipping rope. Usually the two ends of skipping rope should be able to touch your armpit, but not too long. Stand up straight, feet together, shoulders relaxed. Keep your body vertical and don't lean back and forth or to one side.
2. Hold the skipping rope: Hold the handle of the skipping rope with both hands, and the hands will naturally droop and the wrists will twist slightly to facilitate the rotation of the skipping rope. Rotate the skipping rope with wrist movements instead of waving your arms greatly. The speed and rhythm of skipping rope can be adjusted according to your own ability, but you should keep a steady and continuous speed at ordinary times.
3. Leg movement: When the rope slides quickly from below, use a small bounce to jump over the rope. Be careful to land on your toes, and let your feet stay on the ground as short as possible.
4. Keep breathing smoothly: Take a deep breath and don't hold your breath. Exhale and inhale to match the rhythm of skipping rope. Keep your head straight naturally, look forward, and don't bow your head or raise your head. This helps to keep the body balanced.
Beginners can start slowly: if you are a beginner, you can start from a slow and low skipping height and gradually increase the speed and height until you feel confident. Don't use too much force, and don't use too much force to wave skipping rope, which will increase the pressure on shoulders and arms. Keep your wrist flexible, so that the rotation of skipping rope comes from the small movements of your wrist.
6. Timed rest: You can set a time goal at first, such as jumping 1 minute, and then gradually increase the time. You can have a rest and recover your strength during skipping rope.
