I'm in my 50's and trying to learn how to jump rope again for weight loss, and just got my Crossrope yesterday. Fortunately I appear to have remembered how to do the criss cross from my childhood. Even my husband was surprised and impressed!
Genuinely one of the best online coaches I've ever seen. Super calm, great phrases to explain what you need to do, helps you to remember what sequence actions take place. Excellent.
I rarely comment, but on this vid i had to Was struggling with criss cross for a month now and was frustrated, was about to leave it, when came across this vid, and believe me i did it in the first go, Thank you, you're an amazing coach
I’ve been trying to do criss cross for the past few months and couldn’t do it at all. I watched this video last night and have now managed to do a few for the first time. Great video that helps you understand when to cross your hands so that you can do the criss cross. Thank you so much 👏👏🙌🙌
Best tutorial. I started to jump rope a week ago. I thought i would never do the criss cross. I watched you video and yesterday i did my first criss cross! Thanks!
This is by far the best tutorial on the crisscross. Suggestion to hug your body is a gem. But, even after a week of trying I'm only getting one in every now and then. It seems I have to wait just a little more before I jump. Otherwise, I'm landing on my feet and the rope hits it. This takes some serious coordination, I'm not born with it :(. I'll keep trying though.
Dear Mr Hunt, thank you so much for this most excellent tutorial! Having been rehearsing the Criss-Cross for the past three days whilst on lock-down in the U I just changed from using my dominant (right) hand to my left. all my issues have gone! Now I can work on the speed. Many thanks again from a most grateful UK fan :-)
Stumbled on your channel today and was very curious on what you were going to say about the criss cross. Well explained! Thank you! I never really had watched someone explained the process. It was just something to do growing up during recess time at school (in my time) and I’ve been jumping rope since grade two (I’m 56 F). Criss cross (single, double or triple) is my ultimate favourite, front and back with alternating foot. I can’t tell you how many people (young and young at heart) at the gym over the years who would come up and ask (or for some who are shy would just look and “stare”) how I do it. I was just glad to tell them my story. Thank you
I just wanted to say thank you for this because after a trial and error of 2 days, i finally manage to do the criss cross and on top of that, i manage to do 11 criss-crosses in a row.
Hurray 🤩🤩🤩.... I've done it 😁😁😁😁 Honestly saying , I've been trying for Criss cross for two weeks but there is no improvement ....but after watching this tutorial I'm doing it between 5-10 in a single go🤩🤩🤩🤩.....Thank you 💐💐💐💐.......Now I'm damn sure,after few weeksI'll master in it😁😁😁😁😁
Been trying criss cross and cant do it, but after i watched this tutorial. I made my first criss cross. Thanks to your technique. You sir deserve my subscription
I finally got the arm cross last week at the gym. My face lit up like : - o when I finally got it and I think people were laughing at me. Anyway, this is a great video! Please keep them coming Dave!
Excelente tutorial. Straitforward to the point. In just two days I got it right. I am so glad I make it without struggling a lot. Thank you and keep it up.
You are an excellent instructor. Not as hyped as some of the other youtubers. You've taught me the boxer step and the heel toe step. Working on criss-cross. I use jump rope for cardio/warm-up and the skills help to not get bored while jumping. What about a video aimed at combat sports footwork/hand-foot coordination?
I have a 9ft speed rope and a slightly shorter weighted rope... Sometimes the speed rope is easier to do the criss cross because the extra length gives a wider margin of error, and then sometimes I feel better with the weighted rope because I can whip it into shape and control it better. But either way it's coming along :D
The fellas at Zen Dude Fitness said it's kind of like holstering a gun when you cross and drawing it when you uncross, and I find this imaginative tool to help feel into the physics of it. But then sometimes I bring my hands too close to my hips (like a gun holster), so you don't wanna take it too literally.
Anyway once you get a good feel for the rope, you can see the 3-dimensional figure-8 shape of where the rope is slicing through the air, and you keep awareness of the location and changing of that shape, and then hop through it. Or at least that's what I do when I get into the flow :D
Before I watched this video I kept hitting myself with the rope and was scared of doing the crisscross. After, I can finally do it and not flinch! Thank you for this video!
I recently reached the milestone of doing 3 crossovers in a row (keeping arms crossed 3x in a row), and I'll do 3 basic bounce to 3 crossovers, back and forth, and I can keep this going for a good few rounds! I find that when I'm crossed over, the key to keeping the momentum going is to keep my body completely and evenly tensed up, that way it keeps me from getting "noodle arms" and losing the swing. And just as when throwing a punch in boxing, a strong foothold delivers power through the punch, so do I use the energy from the bounce to be transferred through my shoulders to "push down" on the jump rope handles to help whip the rope around, and fine tuning it with my wrists (actually this is what I do for regular bounce too).
I'm gonna try these tips at the gym today. I can criss cross just not consistently. Some days I'll be able to do the move kinda good but some days I can't do it at all.
Great tutorial. Would you recommend learning with a heavier rope as i have a 1lb rope and very light cheap ropes but they always seem to tangle up around my feet. The heavy rope however is tough due to the learning curve of stopping all the time. I have managed 2 crossovers though thx to your vid on my 1st day. Oh and i am amazed how slow you can do it under control.
Great tutorial man! Can't wait to implement these tips and strategies. I find it funny how people will come up to you and comment on your jump-rope skills once you can do a couple of tricks ;p Criss-cross is the next trick I'm going to learn. Thanks man!
Great Tutorial and real awesome ropes! The best you can get!!! Please someone help me! Why is it I manage to cross and not trip up. But while uncrossing somehow the rope gets stuck at my right shoulder? I can't figure out why... 😩

I just did the criss-cross 5 times in a row after watching your video! Before this I couldn't do a single one. Thank you! :D

great to hear! Yeah that's why I recommended moderately weighted ropes for learning new skills
Thanks alot. This is really gonna help me out
Before I watched this video I kept hitting myself with the rope and was scared of doing the crisscross. After, I can finally do it and not flinch! Thank you for this video!
You're welcome!

Great instruction. Still learning...my coordination is off
Thank you for the tips
Glad to help!
I’m getting frustrated trying to get this move down. I want to keep trying and I willl get it eventually
You did the criss cross with such relax motion. Could it be because of the heavy rope you're using?
Like this video. Nice background too. Keep up the good work
I am practicing
That 1/2 lb rope hurts when it catches you. I keep on ducking as I'm afraid of it hitting me😩 I'll persevere 👍🏾
I loved this video
Finally, I can do a few loops with your guide. 🙏 TQ.
Woo now this is A tutorial HOLLA
Great tutorial. I went from whipping myself to crisscrossing then whipping myself. A step forward nontheless.
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍
Thanks bro I can do it now
