"We're doing a jump rope circuit and the first thing you want to do is get your jump rope out. If you don't have a jump rope, you can mime as if you have one. In any circuit training, especially with the jump rope, we're going to do three minute rounds. So you're going to do three minutes of jumping rope and then we'll do a minute of strength training. In this segment, we're going to do three minutes of jump rope. I'm just going to show you the basic movements of how to jump. Since we're just starting, you want to warm up and three minutes is ample time to warm up using your jump rope. When you're jumping you want to stay on the balls of your feet. You want to put your feet together and you want to stay on the balls of your feet when you're jumping. You want to just do a small jump, like so. You want to keep your jump nice and controlled, not jumping too high, and breathe. Always remember to breathe. We want to keep going for three minutes."
