Fun use for skipping ropes


Every once in a while a coach stumbles on a fun way to use a household object to make an old exercise more challenging and fun. Last summer we use to do a lot of rope skipping inside of our gym simply due to the fact that our outdoor running was disrupted due to the coldest summer in 30 years in Iceland. Not only was it cold outside but also raining and not wanting to use to much time changing out of wet clothing we had them all buy skipping ropes.
Then trying to make more use of these ropes we made a few exercises that we could use them.


This was taped on the second day we did these so the form and execution is far from perfect but most of them got a lot better as the summer went on. But this is what you might see the first week of using these exercises.
