Don't Give Up!

• Gradually work your way up to 10 minutes per day. I know it's tempting to want to jump longer and faster when you are first learning, but keep it under 5 minutes until you master the coordination, rhythm and timing. Always prioritize technique over speed.
• Practice is the key to developing endurance and proficiency, and will enable you to reap the most benefit from jump rope training.
