How to perform it

  2. Swing your hands in a circular motion as if turning a skipping rope, and jump lightly off the floor, keeping your knees slightly bent and landing softly on your forefeet.
  3. Keep your jumps low and quick, simulating skipping with a rope. Repeat for the desired duration or number of repetitions.
