 Yo, Zendu Fitness, we're about to take you through a five step series to teach you how to become a jump rope ninja. Today specifically, we're just going to get you started. We're going to talk about all the things that you need to know before you even pick up a jump rope. So why are we making this series? Well you guys, we've made a ton of videos now. We have 15 videos or so that are just on beginning to jump rope. And what we realize is there are a handful of things that are the most important things that you need to focus on to really develop your jump rope skills. So this series is taking you through what we believe to be the five steps to really getting fluent with the jump rope so you can do all the cool moves and you can continue to progress. First things first, you guys hear us talk about this all the time. We use the cross rope. Pick yourself up a jump rope. If you can't afford a cross rope for whatever reason, just get yourself a jump rope. The cross rope is the one that we use in all of our videos and recommend those. If you want it, it's linked down in the description below. Next up you guys, get yourself sized with the right length of jump rope. Your jump rope is too short or too long, it's going to make it more difficult to become a jump rope ninja. Next guys, make sure that you're warming up properly. So go through some repetitions of jumping jacks, of air squats, of lunges, and of pushups. So you get your body warmed up before you really start jumping rope. Doing this will help you prevent injury and there's other things you can do as well. So if you want to know what the other things are, you can click the button up in the right hand corner of the screen right now, which will take you to that video we've already made. Finally guys, the number one rule when you're first starting to jump rope and when you're starting to really commit to becoming a jump rope ninja is you need to understand that the number one priority is fun. You don't get to be really good unless you're consistent. The only way you stay consistent is by jumping rope and having fun doing it. We also made a video about this. It's up in the right hand corner of the screen right now but in general, we want you to understand that jump rope should be an enjoyable part of your lifestyle. So tomorrow we're actually going to pick up a jump rope. We're going to teach you how to do the regular bounce and we're going to teach you all the little small techniques that are going to make you look like a ninja while you're doing that regular bounce. So make sure you click the button on the screen right now.
