Yes! There is a style of jump rope called the Chinese Wheel where two people jump together using two ropes.

Yes, it is! Jump rope is very easy to count. We can count the number of times we do a Cross or a double under, to name but a few. We can also count the number of steps we take in a set time domain. This is known as 'speed training’. Let’s take a closer look.

In CrossFit gyms and competitions, athletes often use thin wire cable ropes. These ropes eliminate any resistance or feedback in the rope, which would otherwise slow down the rope and force the jumper to work harder for the same output. In competition, their goal is to breeze through their sets of double unders as fast as possible. So, the tool they choose is specifically designed for this goal.

One of the amazing aspects of jump rope is how much creativity it affords individuals. There are limitless skills you can learn and, with them, an infinite number of sequences you can imagine. But where do you start?
