You can position your body , standing up , tall , going down to the ground , jumping on your hands , jumping , sitting down , jumping in a push up whatever you want to do . If you've been on social media lately , you've seen jump roping and jump roping tricks taking over . Now I'm getting an actual jump roping lesson from a world champion right here at the beautiful Santa Monica Pier .
So , just with the basic , you know , basic single bounce jump , you can burn between 200 to 300 calories every 15 minutes . Would you hope that jump roping could be like an Olympic sport ? Yes .

And that is something that we're working on . I'm currently a board member for the American Jump Rope Federation , which is a member of the International Jump Rope Union and one of our main goals we've been working on for years and years is getting jump ropes to the Olympic sport . Do you want to learn some tricks ?
Like I tried a ton of different sports , basketball , baseball , soccer , football , nothing really stuck . And then I found jump rope when I was about 10 years old and just loved it and stuck with it ever since . This reminds me of the University of Miami .
