Coach Peabody, counting

Skip the rope landing on one foot at a time, like jogging on the spot.

Rope, one foot at a time

Go somewhere · ages 7 to 14 · Counted in reps

How to do it

  1. Tiny steps, barely off the floor.
  2. Turn the rope with your wrists.
  3. If you trip, pick it up and carry on. Everybody trips.
  • A jump rope
  • Enough floor to lie down on, arms out.
  • Land soft: knees bent, knees out, feet flat.
  • Arms out: make sure nobody is in reach.

Watch out for this

Wrists, not arms. And barely leave the floor.
Big arms and big jumps.

Make it fit you

The right version is the hardest one you can still do properly. That is not a kindness, it is how this works.

Easier

Harder

  • Count how many you manage without tripping.

Can't jump? Hold both handles in one hand, swing the rope beside you and march to its beat.
