Do it for 30 seconds on each leg. Third, do shoulder exercises, you can do 1 minute to imitate kayak rowing to exercise your shoulders. Fourth, stretch your thighs.

Fifth, stand and bend forward for 20 seconds to stretch back muscles.

Skipping rope to lose weight the second stage: practice

Skipping rope can actually have many fancy styles, but you'd better start with the most basic exercises when you just start skipping rope.

1, synchronous double hop

Feet jump, just like a spring constantly jumping. The rope swings once and jumps once. If the technology is mature, the rope can swing once and jump twice in a row. But you should pay attention to adjusting your breathing when you jump. At the same time, there are other tricks such as simultaneous jumping of feet. It can also simulate skiers swinging from side to side when avoiding obstacles. When taking off, put your legs together and keep a certain distance, about 30-40 cm, when swinging left or right.

2. One-legged rotation and jumping

As the name implies, it is the left and right legs jumping alternately. This kind of one-legged rotary jump is also divided into walking jump and high leg lift. Walk and jump, shake the rope every time, lift one leg, relax the knee joint and calf, and master the rhythm. Leg-lift jump requires that when skipping rope, the knee joint should be raised to the same height as the waist and the trunk should be kept upright. This method can effectively exercise the lumbar muscles.
