Jump Rope Tutorial #3 Jumping Backwards & Footwork

Jump Rope Tutorial #3 Jumping Backwards & Footwork

This video is focusing on jumping backwards, and different type of footworks that you can perform when turning backwards:

- open close
- heel toe
- straddle
- knee lift

Before focusing on the footworks, we make sure that your backwards turning is perfectly executed. Some points to remember:
- move your arms a bit backwards, when looking from the side, the arms should be more behind your back
- work with your wrists
- the rope should touch the floor behind you before you jump over it.

Learn it first in slow - double bounce rhythm, then continue turning the rope at a regular speed.

- a strong control of the rope
- clear movements
- stable rhythm
- precise timings
- correct positions

Once the backwards turning is going well, add the same footwork, the ones you can find in tutorial #2.


We recommend for beginners to practice 3 to 5 times a week, short sections (3-10 minutes) jump rope routines, with longer (1-3 min) breaks.

Focus on learning proper technic, as a number one goal! Only then you can build the next tricks, higher impact workouts to a strong foundation, avoid injuries and enjoy your trainings!
