• Beginner Cardio & Footwork
Jump Rope (Boxer Skip)
Why This Matters for Boxing
Calf endurance on the balls of your feet — exactly where you should be in your fighting stance. The boxer skip (alternating feet, light bouncing) builds the specific calf and ankle endurance for smooth step-drag footwork.
How To Do It
- 1Hold the rope handles at hip height.
- 2Skip rope using the boxer skip — alternating feet lightly.
- 3Stay on the balls of your feet.
- 4Keep bounces minimal — just clear the rope.
- 5Maintain a steady rhythm for 90 seconds.
