Весна, весна на улице, Весенние деньки! Как птицы, заливаются Трамвайные звонки. Шумная, веселая, Весенняя Москва. Еще не запыленная, Зеленая листва. Галдят грачи на дереве, Гремят грузовики. Весна, весна на улице, Весенние деньки! Тут прохожим не пройти: Тут веревка на пути. Хором девочки считают Десять раз по десяти. Это с нашего двора Чемпионы, мастера Носят прыгалки в кармане, Скачут с самого утра. Во дворе и на бульваре, В переулке и в саду, И на каждом тротуаре У прохожих на виду, И с разбега, И на месте, И двумя ногами Вместе. Вышла Лидочка вперед. Лида прыгалку берет. Скачут девочки вокруг Весело и ловко, А у Лидочки из рук Вырвалась веревка. - Лида, Лида, ты мала! Зря ты прыгалку взяла!- Лида прыгать не умеет, Не доскачет до угла! Рано утром в коридоре Вдруг раздался топот ног. Встал сосед Иван Петрович, Ничего понять не мог. Он ужасно возмутился, И сказал сердито он: - Почему всю ночь в передней Кто-то топает, как слон? Встала бабушка с кровати - Все равно вставать пора. Это Лида в коридореЛида скачет по квартире И сама считает вслух. Но пока ей удается Досчитать всего до двух. Лида просит бабушку: - Немножко поверти! Я уже допрыгала Почти до десяти. - Ну,- сказала бабушка,- Не хватит ли пока? Внизу, наверно, сыплется Известка с потолка. Весна, весна на улице, Весенние деньки! Галдят грачи на дереве, Гремят грузовики. Шумная, веселая, Весенняя Москва. Еще не запыленная, Зеленая листва. Вышла Лидочка вперед, Лида прыгалку берет. - Лида, Лида! Вот так Лида! Раздаются голоса. - Посмотрите, это Лида Скачет целых полчаса! - Я и прямо, Я и боком, С поворотом, И с прискоком, И с разбега, И на месте, И двумя ногами Вместе… Доскакала до угла. - Я б не так еще могла! Весна, весна на улице, Весенние деньки! С книжками, с тетрадками Идут ученики. Полны веселья шумного Бульвары и сады, И сколько хочешь радуйся, Скачи на все лады. Прыгать учится с утра.
I just downloaded a free metronome app yesterday for this very purpose and yours is the ONLY video on Jumping Rope using one that I could find. I'm an old timer that only started out skipping a few months ago and I doubt that so far, I could jump 100 repetitions in one minute in fact. I only usually manage to do around 50 consecutive jumps before fouling up somewhere. Still, Rome wasn't built in a day and it is perseverance without overdoing it causing injury that gets us there in the end. I just think that the metronome is another useful tool as might be a music track with the number of BPM one requires.
Try to practice without the rope until the movement becomes part of your muscle memory. Without the rope I guarantee that you won't kick your foot back.
Best beginner jump rope content on the internet!! ChatGPT tips wasn’t as helpful. All the other YT videos are teaching to run before I can’t crawl. TYSM
@@PunkRopeNYC No problem . I am in The United Kingdom . I remember the kids took part in a great variety of games at play time it seemed like great fun at first. Before soccer took over. UK kids . Particularly boys never seem to get bored of soccer . I could never do skipping very well except solo I was pretty good at one point. I could do it in the corridor of my house .
@@MrRobertFarr soccer is a terrific game. I played through high school and then recreationally as an adult. I just think it's important to expose kids to lots of options. You never know what will stick.
Very cool, David! 🥳🥳🥳🥰 I was struggeling like you. 😌 I changed the rope. Now I prefer the beaded rope. And I like to switch between cable and beaded during my exercises. Keep it up!!!! And have fun on your jump rope journey. 🥰 Greetings from Austria/Europe. 🇦🇹
Hey guys, I wanted to point out that Rogue did not develop the term or concept of Double Off the Deck. Rx Smart Gear created the concept of double off the deck in our jump rope seminars in 2009. Rogue started reselling our jump ropes in 2010 and perhaps borrowed some of our tutorials. But they typically do not do jump rope tutorials. Just thought I’d let you know. Keep up the great work.
@@PunkRopeNYC Thanks for the response. I'm 49 and have been jumping rope consistently for four months now. I found I had to begin slowly and listen to my body, right now I can't jump rope everyday, I jump rope every other day with 15 intervals of one minute with 30 seconds rest. I will continue to add intervals and tricks slowly...such a great exercise.
It’s possible but definitely not something we’d advise without clearance from your physician. Jumping might adversely affect your injured ankle even though you wouldn’t be landing on that foot.
May I ask HOW this 'slew' of injuries occurred as it is surely not down to your age alone? I found the content a little disconcerting as being 69 and trying to gain more strength, stamina and mobility, the very last thing I need is any form of muscle tear or rupture. Thank you and one year after posting, how is your recovery going?
Of course! Nothing to do with age…the hamstring tear was from diving in pickleball, the torn meniscus was from wrestling, the torn rotator cuff was from helping a stranger lift a heavy mattress on to the roof of their car. I typically get hurt playing a sport the way I played in my 20s. Just jumping rope is incredibly safe. The main concern would be feet, ankles, and knees…having the strength to land well and absorb impact. I’m doing well. Thanks for asking. Since I didn’t have surgery to repair my torn hamstring I’m no longer able to sprint and I probably shouldn’t return to wrestling but if I’m smart I can do most activities.
@@PunkRopeNYC That explains it - thank you for taking the time to put my mind at ease. They do say that 'You're Never Too Old', but I think wrestling with my bed sheets is as much as I would wish to risk. 😉
If any jump caused pain or discomfort, stop immediately. Also, if it’s difficult to do this movement WITHOUT jumping-basically a single leg squat-then it makes no sense to try it while jumping. As a beginner, you want to progress your jumping gradually. Any type of single leg jump is probably too stressful at this stage of your jump rope journey.
Do normal 2-legged jumps for a while, and then try one-legged jumps without the rope from time to time, maybe as some kind of exercise in between your normal rope skipping, and if you can do it well, you might try it with the rope. Otherwise, you injure yourself without any benefits.
Like andre said. the only remaining mystery is why not one of my wonderful coaches told me this, and many other internet videos don't mention it. The only thing I can figure is a lot of life-long rope jumpers intuitively have good timing, without knowing what they are doing right. They just do it and aren't well-equipped to teach it.
Shana and I have always publicly said that we kind of sucked at rope jumping at first which is why we can relate to almost all of the challenges that new jumpers encounter. We had to work through them ourselves and through that process we’ve developed a series of tips that tend to be helpful. Also we don’t really have a vested interest in our knowledge base. We’re happy to share what we know with everyone.
Always good information, thanks. Did I miss you saying anything about 'zone 2'? It seems to be a current thing and skipping is surely an ideal movement!
Hi! Zone 2 and Phil Maffetone have definitely made a splash. It’s an interesting concept but it doesn’t work for a huge segment of the population because as soon as they start to skip, jog, or whatever they’re already beyond zone 2.
@@PunkRopeNYCzero success thus far. But isolation did demonstrate the extreme clumsiness of my non-dominant arm. Unfortunately, there are also zero coaches in my area with jump rope expertise. Is it normal to hold the rope handle somewhat like a thumbs-up? That is, the thumb provides the pivot point
i am facing the same problem you told about at 08:30 , in normal jump, rope feels long as my wrist is close to my abdominal but when i do double under or cross over it feels ok because it automatically goes away from my abdominal ,if i will short the rope it will hit me on my head ,,,what to do ? sorry for my bad English
Your English is great! So your issue has more to do with technique than rope length. The best thing you can do is find a local coach or experienced jumper who can help you to improve your arm position. You might also want to watch our videos on double unders and crossovers. There are quite a few on double unders!
The principles are the same as far as being conservative with the initial sizing, but of course the process is different because you need to literally remove beads and then snip the cord. Just make sure you don’t cut the cord too short as you may need to put a few beads back after giving the rope a try. It’s very much a trial and error process, especially for beginners.
Great info you two, thanks! I've put a tiny amount of grease on the inside of my handles just to give it that extra spin (less friction) where the adjustment gadget makes contact on the inner portion of the handle. Just thought I'd give it a try because I need all the help i can get, lol.
Thanks so much! An aside question: how do you communicate with the rope turning partner when to start turning the rope? I work with 5 year olds and starting the turn at the same time without communication is difficult for them. Thank you!
Hi Jackie! I’m not sure if it will work with children, but the key to synchronizing the turn is having the turners say 1, 2, 3, go in unison. On “go” they would start turning. Once they start turning the next challenge is getting them to turn at the same speed. That will take some practice but you could use music with a steady beat to help guide them.
Such a nice outdoor fitness playground, good luck finding such a facility in Ontario, Can. I definitely go with a cushioned shoe, occasionally minimalist shoes at the gym on a semi cushioned floor. Metatarsal fractures are VERY possible if skipping on hard surface with no support. Thank you guys :)
Thanks so much for watching and for all the kind words. I would think Canada in general would be way ahead of the US when it comes to outdoor fitness facilities. Let's hope they build some soon. They're great for the community and keeping kids out of trouble.
It's the flick of her wrist but also her smile that makes her skipping techniques look so flawless :) Great tutorial! I'll definitely add that to my cross overs.
Keep on going Tim! You're doing a great job and I also feel your pain with my limitations but I won't stop because it's the worst thing for us to do. Fitness is awesome! Keep up the great videos you two :)
You guys Rock! I sub's to your channel and enjoy your videos :) I'm 56 and started skipping more seriously as part of my cardio routine. My knees aren't the best but once warmed up I seem to manage fine. I totally dig the tricks and hope to add some within time, it's an awesome workout I must say and helps my ice hockey cardio and gym routine as well. Anyways... thank you both from Canada. :)) PS I think Shana is beautiful xo!
Fantastic that you're still playing hockey. Such a great sport. I remember seeing an article not too long ago about a hockey rec league where most of the players were in their 60s and 70s. Amazing!
