i was just wondering if anyone had jump rope exercises that helped them woth skating like height and stuff. thanks

do single jumps and build up to 60 seconds (single jumps meaning you jump over the rope constantly not jump-jump over rope-jump etc.) jump on the balls of your feet. make sure to warm up before (ie: jump rope jogging) and strech after your calf muscles, ie: stand on the balls of your foot by a step and bring your heel down. don't overstrain yourself like I did and ended up getting a shin splint! start slowly and work your way up not more than 2x/week. good luck! there are other exercises like doubles (where you jump and the rope passes under your feet 2x) but first start with singles its a great low intese plyometric and anearobic activity.

p.s wear good supportive sneakers like crosstrainers or boys basketball sneakers good luck!!
