Let's get after this Zen do fitness cartel boxing YouTube channel. Let's roll We're gonna teach you how to skip like a box up now We're gonna drop the rope So you start on your toes so get on the ball of your feet Between your toes and the ball of your feet, so you really like all right And you just keep you just you get a nice pace you get a nice rhythm and you keep that rhythm going. It's like a beat try to try to try to do it to some music Whatever you like hip-hop electro, whatever it is and you just get that timing, you know one two and then you switch it up One side one two one two one two one two once you get that pace and you start getting a rhythm then after about let's say Five minutes grab that grab that rope Incorporate the rope with the rhythm One two one two and even if you want count it out one two One two and just keep on the balls of your feet. You know what I mean? Keep it real light. Keep it real easy You know and just have fun with it. That's it. That's what it's about about having fun. That's it do crossovers mix it up a Lot of boxes tend to also they switch from side to side so what they do is They put your left side if you go on to the left side you put the left hand in front and the right sort of Parallels to the forearm and you sort of roll the wrist. So everything isn't in your shoulders. It's more in your wrists Roll in your wrists and then incorporate your skipping back into it onto your toes Back in All right, then so we roll in that wrist now bring it in when you're ready. That's it See how he's got that that smooth pace and it's sped up, but there's a rhythm One two one two one two one two one two and just keeps going and then he can roll it back out again That's to get that to get that wrist motion going also works works it works your upper body It works your shoulders as well even though you're not really using your shoulders You're using your wrist and your forearms more once you start to get better at it And you start to pick up that pace and you get that rhythm. You can start doing some little tricks Start doing doubles. So when you start doing doubles You're still light on your toes It's a bounce Everything to do with skipping when you're boxing. It's a bounce the same thing when you're boxing in the ring When you box in the ring, you're on your toes. There's a bounce. So it all incorporates as one see some tricks, but come on That's it See how he's really light on his toes and he bounces. That's what it's about Now if you start to stuff up and you keep stuffing up between the rope and you and your feet Challenge yourself to sort of you know what I'm gonna do 10 push-ups So I get it right. So I don't have to do push-ups anymore. That's what boxes do they try to challenge themselves to Basically when they stuff up they need to perfect their skipping part of their training routine most boxes Before they start training they do a warm-up and they skip and they also finish by the end of the session After about an hour hour and a half Always they finish off with the jump rope. Now at the start of a session of a boxing session They skip between 15 minutes to 20 minutes to warm up at it at a decent pace a decent pace would be something like like this Just Just a comfortable pace like you're doing a job Similar to that. So you skip in and you're just doing a comfortable pace to get that heart rate up Get that blood flow get you warmed up So obviously your muscles and everything is warmed up before you start boxing because you're utilizing your whole body when you box You know so do about 15 to 20 minutes of skipping and Then towards the end of your session Do about 10 minutes to finish off and then in that 10 minutes you can start to incorporate Let's say you do three minutes because every round in boxing is three minutes for a professional fighter in the last and let's say the last 30 seconds you can start doing double-unders and start doing tricks and Then go back to that normal pace again And then in that 30 seconds do your doubles and do you do tricks? Whatever you want to do So you saw myself you saw Dan try to give this whole jump rope for a boxing thing a shot I think we did okay, but we want to show you the real deal now We want to show you how like a professional boxer jumps rope So my dude right here is gonna take you through the progression that we just went through and jump in a rope without a rope Or just go through the rhythm of skipping bring it in the rope and then turn it up in a little bit doing some tricks Let's roll you guys This is so big that one of the biggest things I've learned about jump rope from Mateo is what you're gonna see him Do right here is before he even starts jumping rope He really focuses on bouncing not just on the balls of his feet But between his toes and the balls of his feet So it's like right in there and so when he does that it makes him much more lighter on his feet makes him explosive allows him to like move around the ring like a boxer and develop that agility and so this is a game changer you guys Please take this advice to heart and watch what he's doing here and try to implement this yourself when you skip rope the next time My dude's gonna bring in the rope now He's gonna show you a little bit of what it looks like to skip as a boxer You can see here. Nothing changes with his feet. He's super light. You can see it looks like he's almost floating He's floating right now because what he's doing is he's barely touching the ground and he's really focusing on Just keeping himself in between the balls of his feet and his toes and all the movement up top just happens in his wrist You can see here. He's not moving his arms around a ton. He's not moving his shoulders He's not jerky Everything's happening in his wrist and on the balls of his feet and that's why when he jumps rope it looks almost effortless It looks like it's not he's not working hard But when he's doing this for a continued period of time, he's gonna get an awesome cardio workout And it's agility is gonna improve dramatically So now I'm gonna give Mateo an opportunity to show off a little bit Let him do his his boxer thing and man you just whip that rope like like you're getting after you like like you said earlier guys He he brings him about a jogging pace in the beginning of those like three minute rounds in the last 30 seconds He turns it up and he goes as hard as he can and he really tries to incorporate tricks and just be the overall high Intensity that you need to continue to improve your skill set You guys this is difficult as well. He's using a quarter pound rope. This is the cross rope right here He's using the agility rope. We linked it in the description below for you. This is great for just overall Agility burning fat Whoo, you can see this guy's a pro because this rope is not only way too big for him It's also a rope that he's never used before So he's getting his bearings around this rope and he's still whipping it super well And that's what happens when you have a really deeply embedded skill set like he does with jumping rope You can see here even with the quarter pound rope He's whipping this hard and the reason he's able to do so is because he's conditioned himself He's practiced bro. How many years you've been jumping rope?
