When I first started jump rope I would feel my legs push off the ground. Now my feet bottoms are sore. What is the third thing you feel as beginner stage is graduated? When does it start effecting your cardio, and leg muscles?
1) not warming up: 20 jumping jacks, 10 air squats, 10 pushups, 10 front lunges on each leg 2) jumping on too hard of a floor 3) not taking a day break between jumping rope 4) being new to it
How hard do you jump rope everyday that you get injured lmao. I'm fine at 15-20 mins everyday. Enough time to recover. Had the best results this way too. Used to jump rope for an hour all that happened was I was too tired to learn new tricks and my calves and quads were stiff all the time.
Frequency is the key, particularly for beginners. Day on day off for at least a fortnight in my experience, and perhaps only for 5-10 minutes at a clip.
After watching this video I realized I made lot of mistakes and this shin splints is not going away... Now after recovery I will start fresh and will follow your advice.
Totally should have watched this first instead of just “jumping” into the tricks. Would have helped me avoid a week of suck. Thanks guys. Keep up the good work!
I added double padded insoles to my sports shoes and that helps a lot, even with my walking and jogging. I also like the fact that you encourage warming up before jumping and show the ankle exercises too.
I was so much hyped doing jump rope when i saw your vids. I did it 6x a week. Now i see this is the reason why my shin splints dont go away. Thank you for making this vid. Keep it up
@@lyka4753 i realized i am not active on sports when i was on school. So doing frequent jump ropes stresses my leg muscles. I suffered for almost a year of shin splints i almost gave up doing jump ropes. But now i am pain free. What i did is i completely stop from skipping for 2 months to give rest. Then when i came back i just do basic skips and boxer step for 50 to 100 repetitions. I do that for TWO WEEKS. No other tricks or foot work was added because it puts a lot of stress. After that my muscle becomes toned and i dont feel shin splits anymore.
thanks for shoes recommendation. i doing jump ropes in jogging shoes and i had shin splints for 3 weeks. almost felt like i m dying of pain. but started to do jumping jacks even in the jogging shoes now i dont feel pain. but some time i do feel little bit. people should not be worried about shin splint. just do the warm up and have the shoes like ma man have in the video and u r perfect for flying. having shoes like those is perfect👌🏻❤️
this was super helpful! I just started jumping rope and after watching this, I realize I'm making several mistakes, haha #newbie. thanks for doing this video!
There are many factors in reducing shin splints at home . One resource I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Remedy Fixer Blueprint (check it out on google) definately the most useful blueprint that I've seen. Check out the unbelievable info .
Thanks bro, this is gonna help me nail the tricks! I can run in place. Alternate my feet. And rotate in place. Now I need to nail the double under, and cross-rope thingy.
Love ya ZenDUDES! You may remember when I started jump rope that I got shin splints a lot and you guys helped me through that! Now I #DOTHETHING on the daily and have shins like superman! Thanks bois!
Zen Dude community: I've jumping rope for about 6 months now 3 times a week every other day with no problem. The real problem began when I decided to jump rope morning and night 3 days in a row. I developed a localized sharp pain in the lower third segment of my left and right tibias in such a short period. The pain hasn't gone away yet although is gradually disappearing. If the pain doesn't go away by next week, I'll probably need to have an MRI or an x-ray done because it could be a case tibial stress fracture. It's been a month since that incident and I stopped jumping to keep the injury from getting worse and also to allow time for healing. Rope lovers, please rest. Allow your bones, muscles, and tendons to recover. You dont get stronger when you exercise but when you are recovering from exercising. Localized pain is different from generalized pain so if in pain see a sports medicine doctor.
This is not an injury ...it could be an excuse to not doing the thing .. Always remember if it doesn't challenge you it won't change you. Just do the thing
Ya I too had the pain when I started it. But I didn't know about the shin splints. I rested my leg and reduced no.of times. But I continued doing it. It's my 8th day and learned about shin splints. Thank you guys.
After watching tons of your jump roping videos, I decided that the best cardio for me every morning before breakfast, was rope jumping....unfortunately, I do get alot of shin splints, which means I'll have to stop doing my cardio in the morning....which sucks bigtime. So, I'll try to follow these tips.... well, some of them. And hope it works :D
Wish I would have watched this BEFORE I watched your beginner videos cuz 2 days into jumping rope, I got a nasty case of shin splints🤪 What best to do now that I have them?
"Shin splints are caused when you are a beginner and you start to do any type of exercise." Me: *does forearm curls* ahh my shin splints... lol love the video it actually helped with my shin splints from learning to skip rope. Much love
I'm using Yonex's badminton shoes. They have a really hard toe area so it makes a tapping noise when I hit the ground. They are literally made for standing on your toes.
Please change the title of this video to “what you should know before jumping rope” or something that has jumping rope on the title. I watched a lot of video before starting jumping and this never popped up. I wish it had, I’ve been in pain for a week and if I had found this video before I started jumping I wouldn’t be in pain right now. Thanks for the video.
Ahhhh thank you for this!! I started jump roping, loved it but started to get shin splits...and ive done it everyday, and within towards the end of the week, my shins was starting to hurt, but I avoided it! I realize when I useto jog or do my HIIT workouts, I wouldnt be in very bad pain...and I noticed I havent warm up before jump roping, & now I know! Now I gotta rest for a week or when my shin splits heal 😭😭😭 but jump rope is LIFE!!! Thanks for this video 🤙
Same! I made it over 1wk without them. Tried a different jumping style and bam! Shin splints. I'm now on day 4 of rest...if they feel good enough to jump this evening then I'll have had 3 days of rest. I was plagued by anterior shin splints off and on for over 1.5 years. Changed up a few things and kept crushing jumping goals. Can't wait to get back to jumping. Definitely gotta make myself warm up. Foam rolling and stretches after help but clearly not enough!
Shubho P1 - we've heard some people say that helps, but we're more about stretching and strengthening to promote change rather than just treat a symptom.
Big lesson learned. I’ve jumped rope for 7 days straight the last days my legs were on fire im not gonna lie I do not warm up before skipping rope or take any breaks. Thank you !!! Will restart tomorrow jump 3 days rest 1 and so on !!
I always had shin splits from running, I am 6'5 and lanky as hell and have terrible running form. Jump rope has improved my coordination a huge amount and can actually run now without looking like a pelican. My advice is the same as JRD build up slowly. I jump rope everyday but add only 30 seconds more than the previous workout, it might not seem like much but it adds up and within 120 days straight you will be able to jump for 60mins.
When i was doing gym i used to do more leg exercises and my inferior leg part is very developed and i thiught because of the muscle the pain exists. So interesting to see that there’s actually other issues behind the pain.
Heyyy thanks for the video i am a begginer and i m getting a lot of shin splints and it makes my leg sore,but i yup i m gonna carry on and get inspired seeing ur videos.Thanks:)
i just want to thank jump rope dudes for all these videos! please don't ever stop because this motivates a lot of people and transform their lives not just by changing their physical appearance but also by taking care of their health. GODBLESS JUMP ROPE DUDES!! :D
Excellent vid!!! This is the issue I've been having. I recently got an exercise trampoline, which helps, but it involves a completely different style/method of jumping rope, but also works legs muscles more though in a different way.
My record for jumping rope with out tripping up is just over a minute lol I average about 10 to 20 seconds lol so I automatically prevent shin splints, .... white sox supposed to be a contender this year! Thanks for the tips
I'm a big dude at 6 foot and 250 lbs and I pretty much always skip rope either barefooted or with socks on and have never had shin splints in the 5 months that I have been skipping rope.
Should I ignore shin splints and just ignore the pain until I get used to it? My karate instructor always taught me to never give into pain, just embrace it as another manifestation for strength until I become immune to it.
Joey Central - meh. pain is REAL. if you are in pain your body is trying to tell you something. do what you think is best, but your body needs to repair.
Domino pieces or game board pieces? You must be from outside Philly. Also Pain on the anterior (outside) part of the lower leg may be compartment syndrome. A swelling of muscles within a closed compartment(your fascia are tight) which creates pressure or It could also be a stress fracture.Am I being a know it all? ABSOLUTELY! I watch you guys every day and want yous to be the standard.
Another important point to be added here is the use of epsom salts aka magnesium sulfate 2-3 times a day in warm water for 10-15 minutes where you will put your legs into.
This was great, I been tryin to find out about curing shin splints for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried this resource here - ShinSplints.xyz ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my colleague got amazing results with it.
Thanks for the video. I had shin splints when I was running. Then I stopped running.. eventually I saw your videos and started jumping rope. But recently the shin splints occurred again and seeing this video I am gonna improve what I've been doing wrong... Proper warm up/cool down, wearing shoes and taking break a day or two once a week... Thanks.
Thanks for the video guys! My biggest problems are definitely jumping too high and choosing the right footwear, but I’m getting so much better at jumping for longer periods of time, so there’s that. Also, is there a specific font for the DoTheThing saying? I’m really wanting to get it tattooed on my inner left bicep and I wanted to keep it original
Alexis Alexis - let your body adjust... you'll be a ninja in no time! We have guy who got a "DO THE THING" tattoo on his bicep... It's dope! You get one, shoot us a photo and story at contact@zendudefitness.com and we'll hook you up with something sweet!
Hey I have only seriously started jumping rope pretty recently I have started seeing great results and found it much better than running. In a recent chat with my trainer at the gym he suggested that since I am flat footed therefore I shouldn't jump rope not soo much anyways. I use ASICS gel kayano but still wanted to ask jump don't jump bare feet or shoes I do not want any injuries help! Thanks for your last reply
Sohail Hussain - Rest up. Stretch. See a doc if you need to. Check our video on shin splints: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gMr93YgLO_s.html
I had to do some calf exercises to prevent splints and have more surrounding muscle. calf raises, like you did, work the gastrocnemius, or the twin muscles. but because they have different heads inward Vs and outward Vs calf raises help each head more specifically. the soleus can be worked by doing calf launchers, but you need a bench or something to plant yourself on the ground. or you #dothething and build those calfs 😜 thanks Dan for the vid. I'll miss you in NYC. hit us up when you plan to come to H Town 🤘
ROZSBLUEJAY - We all start from different places. Take small steps. They'll add up over time! Be patient. Have you watched our video on preventing injury?? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CelOu1KYvPE.html
I will watch it tonight. I hope that in a few months i can come back and give y'all a before and after and tell you if I got the skip down. Thanks man. You made me feel better.
I used to jump 3000 up to 5000 jumps, 5 times per week and i had no injuries. I have no idea what changed, but after break when i was jumping maybe 7/8 times in month I can't back to my routine. By routine I mean atleast 2500 jumps and 300-500 double unders in one session. My calves are burning, like pain i bones and I can't even finish my training. I don't consider myself as a begInner and shin splints are typical at the start of journey with rope.
