Jump-rope footwork

Boxers know it. Quick feet, light landings, better balance in ten minutes.

No follow-along video attached yet. There are good ones for this — ask your coach to add one.

10:00
10 minutes · 5 × 90 s · 30 s rest. Press start and go.

Do this

  1. 1 90 seconds two-foot bounce, easy.
  2. 2 90 seconds alternating feet, like jogging on the spot.
  3. 3 90 seconds side-to-side.
  4. 4 90 seconds high knees.
  5. 5 90 seconds your choice — try double-unders if you can.

Do it well

  • Land on the balls of your feet, quiet as you can.
  • Elbows in, wrists do the work.
  • Look ahead, not down.

Level up

  • Cut the rests to 15 seconds.
  • Add a 6th round of one-foot hops, 45 seconds each side.

Before you start. On a flat surface with room around you.
