Jumping: Why You’ve Lost the Ability (and How to Get It Back)

🫱🏾‍🫲🏻 Join The Stronger Human Community and join our January Jump & Movement challenges (Movement courses available here)

As kids, jumping was second nature—pure freedom and fun. But somewhere along the way, we stopped, and now many of us feel anchored to the ground, unable to leap like we once could.

For most adults, attempting to jump again often leads to injuries, frustration, and eventually giving up. But it doesn’t have to be this way!

In this video, I’ll share a simple, 3-step plan to safely and effectively regain your jumping ability. Whether you want to feel lighter on your feet, improve your athleticism, or just reconnect with movement, this plan will help you get off the ground—literally. Let’s get jumping again.

The 90's skip it commercial is the easter egg here lol. I hope y'all caught that 😂😂😂

"the rope hitting you isn't failure, its feedback" this is a great quote my friend!

[jakemccoy]

For people who have been rope jumping for years, try turning the rope in the opposite direction of your natural direction. For weeks, you will be surprised how difficult it is, but It feels amazing as your brain tells your body to develop new neurons.

First rope flow, now jumping rope.

OMG you convince me to start a more fun workout!

I started jumping rope about 6 months ago, been doing it as a 15min cardio warmup before my lifts and im hooked. Ive never felt so much lighter on my feet and my stamina is through the roof now

I’m 63 years old and decided I better get back to a healthy lifestyle, so I put a gym in my garage and started weight training and a daily ride on my spin bike for cardio, then I decided I wanted to jump rope also, that’s when I realized I was really out of shape, I couldn’t jump, it hurt and made me feel disgusting! I’ve watched countless videos on jumping rope for beginners, but your video is the best, you really hit all the important points of getting back into it, awesome video! Such great information that nobody else has mentioned, thanks so much, I deeply appreciate how you put this video together!

Ive jumped rope without a rope and developed and entire routine around it and have been doing it for 7 years now and my physical and mental state has never been better.

You really are my spirit animal. A big jacked dude who trains intuitively and for maximum longevity. It's really inspiring that you don't follow the man crowd and do what's best for you, I aim to be training like you in the next year

The last time I jumped was about 9 weeks ago. I was playing basketball, I was careless that day. I didn't warm up, and I had been particularly sedentary that week. I ended up with a ruptured achilles tendon (from pushing myself forward to run, not from jumping). I'm 27 years old, and I've already had a good history of injuries, when I recover from this I want to be able to play basketball without having to worry about getting injured, I need to build a more flexible, strong and coordinated body. I hope to never get injured again

[JJAGWARR]

The last few months I’ve really leaned into jumping, dancing and various forms of footwork as a daily practice. 100% body has never been more grateful, I find myself moving in ways I couldn’t 10 years ago.
I’ve always viewed the gym as my playground, and I encourage everyone to take time to play and have fun. The peace and joy it brings is comfort food for the soul.
Love the vid ❤

From a 40 year old certified pt and jump rope addict...thank you for this fantastic video! So much good, useful info and inspiration which I rarely see in fitness content these days. Already saved and shared wth others! 👊

[pdsm]

One of the best fitness channels on the platform!

[Icyskyes]

my autistic tendencies of jumping, skipping and bouncy walking always felt good, Im glad I never let no judgement make me stop, but now I feel way more justified, thanks a lot

[ronfields]

The easiest exercise that we stopped doing since we were a child. The best video ever!

[zenbrandon]

I'm a 30 y/o dad and you're slowly helping me be able to keep up with my kids and feel better and better! Thanks so much for all you do, man 👊

[areichental]

Been rock climbing for 6 years and big jumps are my favorite. Been looking to get into jump roping for supplemental cardio and knee fortification. Appreciate the content!

I broke my leg playing football years ago. Rehab took a long time and I genuinely haven't been able to play since. Only started running and jogging recently, so I will try to incorporate this to help with rehab. I am nervous, but I love the advice you given. Little by little. And good luck to you all on your fitness goals. You got this.

[pavniku]

obviously, the video is great- so much value and such good quality/production. But more than anything- you speak with such calm eloquence.

[oTwOrDsNe]
