!CTUALLY GETTING STARTED

"EFORE YOU START YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO TELL YOURSELF THAT THIS WILL
REQUIRE A LITTLE PATIENCE ) HAVE TAUGHT SOME PEOPLE TO SKIP IN SECONDS
AND OTHERS HAVE TAKEN MONTHS TO BECOME EVEN MODERATELY HAPPY WITH

THEIR RESULTS -ERCIFULLY THESE ARE IN THE MINORITY AS MOST PEOPLE WITH ANY
SORT OF SPORTS DANCE OR GYM BACKGROUND USUALLY PICK IT UP IN MINUTES

7HERE POSSIBLE STAND OPPOSITE A FULL LENGTH MIRROR 9OU NEED TO KEEP
YOUR HEAD UP AT ALL TIMES 4O MAINTAIN A GOOD ERGONOMIC POSITION RESIST THE
TEMPTATION TO LOOK DOWN AT YOUR FEET TO SEE HOW THEY RE DOING

'ET THE ROPE TO REST ON THE BACK OF YOUR KNEES KEEP ARMS AND LEGS LOOSE

AND RELAXED AND START TO BOUNCE LIGHTLY WITH FEET A FEW INCHES APARTˆNO
ROPE YET /NCE YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED AN EASY EFFORTLESS BOUNCING RHYTHM
BRING THE ROPE OVER YOUR HEAD CLEARING YOUR FEET WITH EACH REVOLUTION
9OU WILL HIT YOUR FEET FROM TIME TO TIME WHICH IS FRUSTRATING JUST AS YOU

THINK YOU ARE GETTING THE HANG OF IT ! GOOD TIP IS THAT WHEN THIS HAPPENS
DON T STOP BOUNCING JUST mIP THE ROPE OVER YOUR HEAD BACK TO THE START UP
