Things You'll Need:
- A rope hanging from someplace high that can support your weight
-
Step 1
Start with your grip. Reach up above your head and grasp the rope with both hands. Your dominant hand should be below your weaker one.
-
Step 2
Jump and pull at the same time as you leap up the rope. Before gravity sucks you down clench the rope between both feet with your knees bent.
-
Step 3
Work your way up the rope with an accordion like motion. Straighten your legs while you pull yourself up hand over hand. When your body is straight hold on tight with your hands as you bend your knees and clench the rope again at a higher point.
-
Step 4
Repeat the motion up the rope. Be sure not to stop. Constant motion takes advantage of your momentum and shares the work with all parts of your body. If you stop your hands, arms and legs have a chance to get tired.
-
Step 5
Find a rhythm with the motion of the rope. The rope is going to move no matter what you do. If you try to fight it you will waste all your energy. Allow the rope to rock back and forth with your motion.
