Rope Jumping Fitness

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Jump rope—30 seconds. If unable to jump, practice swinging the rope to the side while jumping.
  2. Place the rope on the floor and do locomotor movements around and over the rope. Make different shapes and letters with the rope.
  3. Hold the folded rope overhead. Sway from side to side. Twist right and left.
  4. Jump rope—30 seconds.
  5. Lie on your back and hold the rope toward the ceiling with outstretched arms. Bring up one leg at a time and touch the rope with your toes. Lift both legs together. Sit up and try to hook the rope over your feet. Release and repeat.

TEACHING HINTS:

  1. Use alternating segments (30 seconds each) of silence and music to signal duration of exercise. Music segments indicate aerobic activity with the jump ropes, whereas intervals of silence signal using the jump ropes to enhance flexibility and develop strength.
  2. Teach students to space themselves so they do not hit others with their rope. Encourage nonjumpers, who eventually will learn the skill. Give praise and keep them motivated.
