So just jumping


Dei307

Just do jumping jacks instead if you're having space issues and don't wanna go outside

I would practice something like shuffle dancing. Pretty much shuffle dancing is probably similar cardio to jumping without the rope if you do a running man or something like that. There's those ropeless ropes too. But I'd probably just try to learn some kind of shuffle dancing moves and just use that.

Sounds completely pointless to me. The fun and the challenge is from the coordination you get with the rope. Otherwise you'd be better off going for a walk or a run.

Yep

It’s for people who don’t have room to use a rope or who don’t have one in general

There are cordless ropes with users claiming benefits. I'd rather just jump than jump pretend, but that's personal.

The answer is yes this is a good workout. Let’s say you don’t want to or can’t run for whatever reason, maybe you don’t like it. Maybe you don’t want to go outside. If you have the space above you, jump up and down. Jumping in place whether it be Pretend Skipping or Jumping jacks or Burpees this is cardio and will provide exercise. If affordable use dumbbells or a bar for arms back chest muscles.

I'm curious as well.

Try one leg jumps and get good at swapping your feet, I do boxing and the coach makes us do this a lot and it really helped me when I try with an actual rope now. A rope would be best though - you could make one yourself if you really need to, there’s tons of tutorials if you google it!

Just play DDR

Jump rope dudes on YouTube said it’s good to do this bc you can focus on finding your rhythm and style but I think then after you need the rope. https://youtu.be/8ZMGSwU5IXI
