I like how she describes everything so quickly - not so quickly that one can't understand, but no dilly-dallying around! To the point! I'm going to try this...I used to love jump-rope but I know this is going to kill me at first! Inspiring video.

I was never athletic as a child and I'm learning this for the first time as a teen. I could not even do ten skips in a row but this video helped me a lot! Thank you very much!

I literally have no body coordination so I'm here. I can ride a bike, skateboard, roller skate, but can't jump rope. *this is sO

I'm trying to jump rope a few days a week and keep running into a mystery issue. You're the first I've seen to talk to me like I'm 5 and tell me to match my hand movements to my jumps. Thank you now maybe I can be relieved of watching so many jump rope videos 💁‍♀️

For a beginner like me this was beyond helpful! I was wasting so much energy thinking i burned more calories. 😅

[aishwarya]

OMG THANK YOU!!
I wasn't able to even skip once properly but now that I've tried what you told me, I can do a continuous 6 skips and I'm a beginner.

Shortest video that details what long videos don’t, especially the elbows in for the rope to form a circle, chin up for breathing and proper posture, thank you for the lesson 😊

[schizofrenzia]

Thank you much been trying for months and in one video went from 2 in a row to honestly 5 jumps in a row

[luvinscb]

Lmfao and all this time I was like “WHY DO I ALWAYS STOP AT 1 MINUTE” turns out I’ve been jumping too high and jumping twice while the rope goes around me once-

[paulinesoo]

It actually literally improved my skipping skill. Way to go! Thanks to your videos

[giovanni_n]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! It's my first day today doing this and at first I thought I could do it just by myself because back then when I was a kid, I was really good at this. I wasted an hour and felt so exhausted trying to figure how to do it properly. Then I searched for tutorials and applied what they taught but nothing worked out for me until I came across your video. I did exactly everything you said in the video and keep trying and finally I did it after a few minutes. I did 25 skips so far. Thank youuu!

[bredslayer]

Started jumping rope after years and years just a couple of days ago, at first I couldn’t even do much but literally in 2 days I’ve gotten so much better, gotten faster than I ever was and I even got rid of my double jump

[muhamadirham]

[SkArReD]

thank you for the video. all the info one would need to practice proper form. i particularly was looking for how to keep the core engaged while jumping rope, and you had explained that phenomenally. thank you again, much appreciated - wishing you all the best Ms. Kloots
