I've been jumping for a couple weeks. The alternate foot step has turned out to be more difficult than I thought it would be, especially at a slower pace. Practice, practice, practice!!
I've found the Boxer Heel Tap to be more challenging. At least in the Alternate Foot Step both of your feet stay on the same horizontal plane. But I still haven't mastered the Alternate Foot Step.
After a lot of frustration and throwing my rope against the wall a few times(!!), I finally smashed it thanks to this tutorial! Broke it down very well, and the best explanation on utube. Thank you- now for that boxer step!!!!
Great tutorial. I used to love jumping rope; but thanks to Peripheral Neuropathy in my legs and feet I developed muscle nerve damage which makes it extremely difficult and virtually impossible for me to jump up with both feet simultaneously. However I am able to do the alternate foot step; but have never been able to jump rope using it. So I am going to keep trying to learn it.
I don't know why but I learn the differents techniques for jumping the rope in a very natural way, maybe it's because I used to JUMP the rope a LOT when I was a child By the way, yours tutorials are so amazing! You are a very good instructor! xoxo from italy
Damn! Thank you SO MUCH, man. Tried it for the first time today. Got it right away. Could do it well even before the video could end. I surprise myself. Cheers!
I’m keeping close the ground in the basic bound but when I try this one my “lifted” foot always start moving up and forward and backward more like a rocking horse movement. If you were watching my feet from the side view it would look like I was running in place. Of course the rope gets caught in that high foot. Any tips for getting rid of that?
Omy, so thrilled to have found a video that answers my QUESTION! I was always wondering how come it looks super effortless whenever people jump with a alternate footwork. Thank You! 💕🙏🏻 #practicetime
Cool quick concise tutorial! learned so much and after trying to learning first time 10min later i’m already getting the speed down just now wanna have shorter jumps but they’re already low
I’m attempting this because i want to be able to jump longer. My regular bounce is good, like i have that form down and can go a long time without tripping. I just really want to learn alternating feet and boxer skip.
oooo I think I need help on this one. I see Dave just lifts his foot, so that the sole of his foot is facing (and is parallel with) the ground. i'm kicking my feet back as if i'm a runner (and i used to be), and then i get caught on the back foot. any great tips on how to correct this???
Oh my God i could suddenly do it after watching this. I can only do about 15 or so steps before it gets caught but still!! I was practicing for days before this and couldn't get a single step
Thanks Dave! The intensity of this skill is addictive!! Never thought I could do it but I was able to complete Day 3 of Get Lean Challenge with few trip ups! I was surprised myself!
i just started incorporating jump rope into my workout, and it's way harder than any cardio i've done so far. seems like an effective way to get in shape. waiting for my beginners' set to arrive. until then i use my outdoors cable rope.
I’m a beginner and I just bought my first Crossrope jump ropes. But I was hoping to get the freestyle LE ropes as well, unfortunately they’re out of stock. I’m wondering when will you have new stocks again? 😊
Do you lift the planted foot first before you step down with the raised leg? I had knee surgery before and when I went running. I trained myself to plant one foot before raising the other. I guess doing it slowly at first would be the best way to do unlearn/learn mechanics.
I just got the ropes today and I'm new to this, and I haven't gotten the rhythm yet. For some reason I keep swinging my legs back too far. What would be the best way to jump for beginners other than the traditional jump?
It's okay if you swing your legs back too far when you start. Just try to slow your jump down and switch back and forth between legs. Other than that, whatever technique you can use and improve consistency is best for a beginner. It varies from person to person, but the skills will build on each other as you practice
I was always wondering if I was supposed to do more of a butt kick (which feels easier at first for some reason) but I see it should be a normal walking step. The timing for that is harder for me.
Wheeeeeeyeausss🥰I just subscribe ya I love my Crossrope bundle set and I love jumping rope I do 200 a day while in my gym part of my workout Awesome video awesome alternative of foot movement it’s the footwork for me awesome and great video
Holy Shit ! Thank you so much for breaking this up like this I am able to understand it way better. I been boxing and I havent jump roped like foreva after 4 days I can easily do continous for 3 min. The basic 2 feet jump. Now I have to train this and do this continously for 3 min. Its hard to do it when Everyone around in the gym make it look like a walk in the park while sipping green tea easy.
I wish the medium rope was like an inch longer. I got the get lean for more my height, but I am tripping over the rope so much more than ever. I was having no issues with my "money" rope.
Ironically, when i was a child, i thought jump rope was a girl thing. But then i learned that all pro boxers use it and gave it a try. And man, it an awesome fitness tool, challenging and FUN!
hey, is it possible to send you a video of yourself attempting to do this and getting some corrections? Even possibly a live help session? Been trying to do this for months but constantly messing up and often get terrible shin splints. obviously would be paid, just feel really held back by not being able to do this and honestly super frustrated.

Have you mastered it yet? I'm slowly getting there.

@@EHowerow somehow I find it easier than the basic jump which I can't master
After a lot of frustration and throwing my rope against the wall a few times(!!), I finally smashed it thanks to this tutorial! Broke it down very well, and the best explanation on utube. Thank you- now for that boxer step!!!!
The best tutorial for alternate step I've seen. Can't wait ti try it

I’ve been trying this step for a couple weeks. I’m glad I just found your tutorial because it broke it down the best I’ve seen so far! Thank you.
I have been having a hard time with this. So glad for this tutorial.
Damn! Thank you SO MUCH, man. Tried it for the first time today. Got it right away. Could do it well even before the video could end. I surprise myself. Cheers!
Great video after reading the other comments it's nice to know I'm not the only one having difficulty with this it looks incredibly easy !
Incredible that the simple words "step over" really helped me get it 😂🙌
just flowed into alternating foot this week ,I noticed I can go a lot longer now without calf burn.feels good.
Cool
Very clear , maybe one of the best tutorial I’ve seen
Like the shoes as well
I’m keeping close the ground in the basic bound but when I try this one my “lifted” foot always start moving up and forward and backward more like a rocking horse movement.

this one makes me tired so fast, i love it. great explanation, ty
Your welcome, iceman. Glad you like it!
I thought this was me alone!!!
Excellent video
Love from 🇮🇳 India... Thanx buddy
Thank you! I need more practice so I don't look or feel so clumsy!
I spent one hour yesterday trying to do what I thought was boxers jump and it was this one. Still, I only succeed with couple of jumps
Once I get into pace should I avoid landing my feet completely and should land just the toes or entire feet need to make contact with ground?
great tutorial; look forward to trying it later today as my basic skills increase!
Great step by step tutorial. TQ
Cool quick concise tutorial! learned so much and after trying to learning first time 10min later i’m already getting the speed down just now wanna have shorter jumps but they’re already low
Appreciate it! It's exciting that you're progressing 💪
I’m attempting this because i want to be able to jump longer. My regular bounce is good, like i have that form down and can go a long time without tripping. I just really want to learn alternating feet and boxer skip.
It looks damn Easy but it is damn hard
It sure is!!!!!! I can’t get it😞
Damn right.
True that. I gave up and just stick to the basic jump
I agree!!
No
oooo I think I need help on this one. I see Dave just lifts his foot, so that the sole of his foot is facing (and is parallel with) the ground. i'm kicking my feet back as if i'm a runner (and i used to be), and then i get caught on the back foot. any great tips on how to correct this???
I just got my ropes 2 days ago and did my second workout this morning. The alternate foot step is harder than it looks, but this tutorial is great!
Excellent explanation. Thanks!
thanks for this video, really helped me with my prac for PE
Oh my God i could suddenly do it after watching this. I can only do about 15 or so steps before it gets caught but still!! I was practicing for days before this and couldn't get a single step
Wow, you're a really good teacher. I like the way you broke this down into steps from simple to complex. Well done
Thanks Dave! The intensity of this skill is addictive!! Never thought I could do it but I was able to complete Day 3 of Get Lean Challenge with few trip ups! I was surprised myself!

It can be challenging for beginners but well worth it in the end. Hope you enjoy your set once it arrives!
Thank you 😊
In which type of skipping we get more tired more quickly?? In the basic skipping or the alternate foot skipping??
Which burns more calorie bounce or alternate foot ?
Great video Dave! You're a great instructor! 💪😎 🎶💯
Thanks as always!
Understanding explanation and demo. Thank you Sir. 🎖
I must try that and see how it goes
I somehow learnt this trick without knowing what it 😀
Its indian dance style bhangra
Thanks for the great tutorial
You helped me big time! Thanks
Totally awesome
I’m a beginner and I just bought my first Crossrope jump ropes. But I was hoping to get the freestyle LE ropes as well, unfortunately they’re out of stock. I’m wondering when will you have new stocks again? 😊
What's the difference between this step and boxer step?
The alternate foot step is just alternating your feet while you jump whereas the boxer step is doing the same, but you are moving side to side.
Do you lift the planted foot first before you step down with the raised leg? I had knee surgery before and when I went running. I trained myself to plant one foot before raising the other. I guess doing it slowly at first would be the best way to do unlearn/learn mechanics.
I just got the ropes today and I'm new to this, and I haven't gotten the rhythm yet. For some reason I keep swinging my legs back too far. What would be the best way to jump for beginners other than the traditional jump?
feet front to back is pretty simple
It is simple, just not something I'm used to.
It's okay if you swing your legs back too far when you start. Just try to slow your jump down and switch back and forth between legs. Other than that, whatever technique you can use and improve consistency is best for a beginner. It varies from person to person, but the skills will build on each other as you practice
Crossrope Jump Ropes Thank you so much for the advice. What you said makes perfect sense.
Great. Glad to help!
I was always wondering if I was supposed to do more of a butt kick (which feels easier at first for some reason) but I see it should be a normal walking step. The timing for that is harder for me.
What is the difference between the alternate foot step and the boxing one?
Thanks so much!
I love these tutorials
Idk why but this was super easy to learn I thought it would be harder
Wheeeeeeyeausss🥰I just subscribe ya I love my Crossrope bundle set and I love jumping rope I do 200 a day while in my gym part of my workout Awesome video awesome alternative of foot movement it’s the footwork for me awesome and great video
Thanks a lot , it was just like a magic 👍🏻
Trying to learn this. it's harder than it looks! 😂
The rope passes underneath as the feet are passing each other in mid air.
Holy Shit ! Thank you so much for breaking this up like this I am able to understand it way better. I been boxing and I havent jump roped like foreva after 4 days I can easily do continous for 3 min. The basic 2 feet jump.
Now I have to train this and do this continously for 3 min. Its hard to do it when Everyone around in the gym make it look like a walk in the park while sipping green tea easy.
Legend 💪🏻💪🏻
Watching this makes me want birthday 🍰
I find myself moving forward with this jump. How do you prevent that from happening?
Maybe I have ADD but I wish these videos were shorts and straight to the point.
I watch at 1.5 speed and skip every 10 seconds if it’s info I know I don’t want lol
Should we be flat or on the toe?
This is quite hard, still learning this and hopefully I'd get this soon. :)
I wish the medium rope was like an inch longer. I got the get lean for more my height, but I am tripping over the rope so much more than ever. I was having no issues with my "money" rope.
Thanks for ur tutorial. I am in a boxing class, where all the students do different types of rope skipping, and I can't do even alternate jumping😓
Fantastic explanations!! Thank you.
Should we use shoes or bare foot, which is better
Shoes
Always with shoes
Is it ok if I kick forward instead of doing running in place? If I try to lift my leg up, the rope gets stucked in my lifted leg :(
Thank you so much for this video
Our pleasure Abhishek!
Great tutorial,thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is a lot harder than it looks, it's def a challenge. I can do most of the beginner jumps, even a few shuffles but I CANNOT get this one!!!
I'm having a bad habbit of kicking my back foot back vs just switching feet
Same bro, it's really frustrating
Same. Anyone have a tip on how to stop this habit?
Paddy C appreciate it. Yeah, I noticed if I don’t think about it , I can get a few skips in. This “neuron connection” makes a lot of sense .thx!
When I alternate between legs, I find my right foot take most of the pressure hence it hurts more. This is not normal huh? Any tips on improving this?
I did this yesterday and today my right ankle hurts but nothing on my left foot, are your still facing the problem?
I learnt bro thanks
Glad it helped Anand
What's the difference between the Alternate Foot Step & The Boxer Step?
In boxer step the feet are separate & angled. Like no just alternating but a small step forward & back... shifting your weight.
god damn you, you make it look soo easy, its been a month and i cant seem to get it.
I found zuckerberg doppelganger....
His older athletic brother who rowed crew.
Deepak k no he doesn't
Please don't be mad I got to do this for seswa class
I’m over here getting confused by the high knee & alternating step 🤦🏻♀️ oh to be young again 😫
Going slow is more difficult for me?
This takes practice...be patient 😇
Ironically, when i was a child, i thought jump rope was a girl thing. But then i learned that all pro boxers use it and gave it a try. And man, it an awesome fitness tool, challenging and FUN!
I used to be good at skipping, but I could never get faster than 190per minute, until I found this :)
how can I order these ropes to Pakistan pls reply pls pls pls
Order on our site and use Fedex shipping
I want to alternate steps
You can do it!
Quick question, do we count 1 foot 1 rep, or 2 feet 1 rep?
1 foot, 1 rep
Every time I do the alternate jumps I always travel
is that boxer skip?
This is the alternate foot step 😀
what is the difference? it looks like familiar to me((
