1º ESO. Rope Skipping 2: Before we start
Ratio: 5 / 5
Before we start
1. Wear proper shoes. Running or cross training shoes are the best. Tie your laces!
2. As before any exercise, do a proper warm up. Stretch your legs carefully.
3. Do a proper cool down at the end of your "workout". Repeat the same stretches you did at the beginning.
How to jump safely
1. You must try not to do high jumps. If you jump high, you get tired quickly. The ideal height for the jumps is three fingers above the floor.
2. Watch for posture: Knees and ankles should be bent. Torso straight, and arms relaxed. Turn the rope using the wrists and forearms. Jump on your whole feet, so you don´t get tired too soon.
3. Take it easy: Don't try too much too soon. If you jump for one minute, rest for three. Add minutes up slowly.
