If you’ve already nailed the basics, it’s time to step up your training and challenge your coordination, balance, and stamina with some advanced rope skills. Here are five moves to keep your sessions fresh and your progress steady.
1. Double Unders
A staple of advanced skipping, this move makes the rope pass under your feet twice in a single jump. It demands speed, explosive power, and sharp timing.
2. Crossovers
Criss-cross your arms in front of your body while jumping. It’s great for improving upper body coordination and makes your routine look more dynamic.
3. Side Swing Cross
Swing the rope to one side, then cross your arms and jump through. This smooth sequence tests your control and flow.
4. EB Cross
Combine a backward arm swing with a forward crossover: one arm goes behind your back while the other crosses in front. It’s a stylish move that challenges your balance and flexibility.
5. Triple Unders
Push your limits with this showstopper — the rope passes under your feet three times in a single jump. This is the ultimate test of endurance and focus.
