Skipping might be one of the best cardio exercises out there. Yes, it is hard to learn, much like riding a bike. However, once you get the basics, there is no limit on what you can do with a skipping rope. Our suggestion is to be patient, keep trying and remember; "It's Ok to fail", It is how we learn best. Most of you will not pick up skipping right away, it will take a lot of work.
What if you do not have a rope? No worries, there are plenty of quick jumping activities that will help train you. You also can create a rope out of plastic grocery bags (cool, eh!).
If you have a cool trick or have just accomplished a new skill, video it and send it to us. If your parents agree, we can post it for others to watch or simply reply back to you and give some feedback and encouragement.
START HERE: If it has been a while since you have tried this skill, follow The PE Specialist in many important jumping skills that will help prepare you for the skipping motion. This is good for any age (K-5).
