A cyclic cardiovascular exercise combining repeated two-foot jumps with rope rotation. The basic variation trains rhythmic coordination and lower-leg endurance; it is distinct from alternating-foot skipping and double-unders.
Stand with a rope handle in each hand and enough clear space around the rope.
Turn the rope and make a small two-foot jump as it passes beneath the feet.
Land under control with the knees slightly bent.
Continue the same two-foot rhythm without changing to alternating steps or double-unders.
Use only enough jump height for the rope to clear the feet.
Keep the hands near the sides and the rope rotation compact.
Choose a pace that allows repeated controlled landings.
Jumping much higher than needed.
Landing stiff-legged and losing control of the rebound.
Making large arm circles instead of compact rope rotation.
Changing footwork or adding double-unders while labelling the clip basic two-foot skipping.
