How to do the exercise

Duration: 30 seconds per set

Rest: 30 seconds between each set

Description: Hold the jump rope with both hands, feet together. Jump with both feet, passing the rope rhythmically and controlled under your feet.

Tips: Keep your knees slightly bent upon landing to absorb impact, and maintain a steady rhythm without jumping too high. Ensure your back remains straight and your gaze is forward.

Progression: Gradually increase the duration of each set by 5 seconds weekly as the exercise becomes easier.
