Jump rope arms criss-cross

Technique

1. Start jumping rope with a standard basic skip.
2. As the rope travels overhead, cross your forearms in front of your midsection so your hands reach toward opposite sides.
3. Jump over the crossed rope loop, then uncross your arms as the rope returns overhead.

Form tips

1. Keep your jumps small and stay on the balls of your feet.
2. Ensure your arms cross far enough for the rope to clear your hips.
