This is a basic introduction to jumping rope. A good dvd for beginners since it introduces you to basic jumping. Video provides easy to understand instruction on how to jump correctly.
An adequate introduction to Basic Jumprope Skills...July 15, 2006 K. Harrell(United States) 23 out of 24 found this review helpful
This is not really a workout video. First, the three instructors give you detailed information about choosing the jump rope that is right for you, the proper apparel, etc. and then they go into basic jump roping skills, such as resting moves (turning the rope in figure eights and double turns) then the basic two-foot jump, lunges, jacks, etc. There is a short 15-min introductory workout that briefly goes over these elements but they stop a lot. The main instructor is Louis, and Eric and Kelly are really just there to add cheesy commentary or occassionally offer advice. They then have a section just for free-styling and you are supposed to do your own thing.
So basically they just teach you the basic techniques and then you're on your own. It's not the structured workout I was looking for...but if it works for you go for it. They do a very good job of breaking down the steps and giving information.
