Subject: [Jump Rope] i need jump rope basics
hi, i'm new to the group and new to skipping. I'm not into becoming
a jump rope athlete or competitive, I'm way too old for that (34).
I'm a male and didn't really skip much as a kid. I'm just interested
in getting some of the basics to use skipping as a cardio excercise
to burn some fat. My sister in law gave me a jump rope, i think it's
a really good one, the handles are weighted and the rope itself looks
like a rubbery, plastic kind of material, the brand is called "Weigh
to Jump" (that's what it says on the handle. The basics I'm
interested in knowing is:
1) is it good to do sets and then reps. what's a good starting
point? (for example 100 jumps, 3 reps). How long in between reps?
2) what style of jumping is best, both feet, one foot at a time,
alternating...? How do the boxers do it?
and any other advice would be helpful. thanks.
