Health Tips for Jumping Rope Exercise - Health & Fitness Tips

HealthNFitness Tips: Jumping rope is no longer just for 6-year-old girls. It's a great way to exercise your heart, and it can improve eye-hand-foot coordination.

The suggestions for jump ropers who are just starting out:

• Keep a light grip on the handles.
• Hold your elbows close to your body and keep your shoulders relaxed.
• Keep your knees slightly bent.
• Use your wrist to turn the rope and create a smooth arc in the rope as it swings over your head.
• Maintain good posture with your head up and back straight.
• Don't jump too high. This will help reduce impact on knees and ankles.
