Jogging Step
This trick involves jogging in place while you're jumping rope. Turn the rope as usual and step over it with one foot as it passes your feet. On the next turn, use your other foot to step over the rope. Continue alternating your feet to do the jogging step.
X-To-Straddle
This trick is an easy one for beginners to master. Turn the rope over your head as usual and on each jump, cross your legs before hitting the ground. For an extra challenge, try alternating the direction you cross your legs on each jump.
Double Bounce
This is another very simple trick - simply bounce twice each time you turn the rope so that your feet are hitting the ground two times for each time the rope passes your feet.
Heel-Toe
To do this trick, turn your jump rope and on your first jump, land with your toes touching the ground. On your next jump, land on the heel of your foot. Alternate landing on your heel and on your toes with each jump. This trick is also known as the boxers' skip.
