About Jump Rope Workout
A new, independent guide to skipping rope for fitness, launched October 2026.
Jump Rope Workout is a free guide to skipping rope for fitness: beginner plans, workouts by level, technique, gear, safety and a workout timer.
A new site at an old address
This site launched in October 2026. A different jump-rope blog used this domain name years ago. We are not connected with that site or its former owner, and none of its articles are reproduced here. Old links to that blog will show our "page not found" page.
Who writes it
Pages are written and updated by a small editorial team, credited as "The Jump Rope Workout editors". We do not use invented author personas, and we do not claim coaching or medical credentials we do not have.
How the content is written
- Every page is written from scratch for this site, using established coaching practice for rope skipping and general exercise guidance.
- Numbers come from named sources, for example the Compendium of Physical Activities for energy cost and WHO physical activity guidelines. Where we calculate something ourselves, we say so and show the formula.
- Pages carry an "updated" date and are corrected when we find an error.
- It is general fitness information, not personal medical or training advice.
Our app: Ropestreak
The team that runs this site is also building Ropestreak, an iPhone app that counts jumps using the phone's camera, so you can track streaks and totals without counting. It is still in testing and not yet available on the App Store; when it is, this page will say so. It is mentioned on relevant pages in a clearly labelled box. Nothing on this site requires it.
