Beginner questions

Which jump rope is best for beginners?

A beaded rope. You feel every turn in your hands, so your timing clicks faster and misses are easy to reset. Once the basic bounce feels easy, move to a speed rope. That's why both starter bundles come with one of each.

How long should my jump rope be?

Our beaded and speed ropes ship at 320 cm and you cut them to fit at home. They fit jumpers from 152 to 213 cm. Lesson 1 shows exactly how to size yours.

What's the difference between the Ascent Bundle and the Beginners Bundle?

Same two ropes, same 12-week Elevate Academy plan. The Beginners Bundle adds the Elevate training mat, made for jumping on hard floors at home.

How often should a beginner jump rope?

Short and often beats long and rare. Start with 5 to 10 minutes, 3 times a week. The 10-minute workout in step 4 is a good first session.

Are the lessons free?

Yes. All 14 lessons are free on YouTube. The bundles add the 12-week Elevate Academy plan, so you know what to do each day.
