THIS is how you measure your jump rope to your size:
1️⃣ Hold both of your jump rope handles in one hand.
2️⃣ Step into the jump rope with the same side foot (if you’re holding the handles in your left hand, step into it with your left foot).
3️⃣ Place your feet together and stand tall.
4️⃣ Pull the handles up as far as they go.
5️⃣ If the base of your handles reaches your belly button, your rope is long enough. I’d it goes past the bottom of your rib cage, it’s probably too long.
If you ever attended one of my classes, I’m beating it like a dead horse:
Pick a shorter cable length!
If your jump rope is too long…
🤮 you will have to place your hands away from your body to bring the rope under tension
🤮 you will learn to do Single Unders or Double Unders the completely wrong way and train bad movement patterns
🤮 these bad movement patterns are the reason why your shoulders get tired after 30 reps once you actually have Double Unders
Every month, we have a new challenge inside the Tall Athlete Lab - this month it’s a max unbroken Double/Single Under set in 5 minutes!
The winner gets a free month inside the TAL and a 1-on-1 live coaching session via FaceTime with me. Are you in?
Just comment LAB and you’ll get the link!
