Getting Started With the Atlas Rope


Before you start using the Atlas Athlete skipping rope it is very important that you follow these basic setting up
instructions.
1. First tighten one of the screws approximately 3 cm from the end of one side of the rope.
2. Now stand firmly on the mid-point of the rope.
3. Hold the handles of the rope and then bring them to the top of your shoulders.
4. Make sure the top of the metal ball bearings reach approximately 15 cm below your collarbone. It should not
be higher than your collarbone or lower than your upper abs. If in doubt, go a bit too long and shorten it as
you get more experienced.
5. At this point, carefully tighten the second adjustment screw.
6. Using a wire cutter snip the end of the cable about 3 cm past the second adjustment-screw.
To move the non-slip rubber stoppers; just slide them on the rope.

Many people make common mistakes when starting off a

watch that fat disappear and your fitness fly through the
roof!

• Position the rope between you so that it is in
contact with the back of the legs. In between the
calf muscles and your ankle is a good marker
• Grip the handles as described above
• Hold your arms forward with slight tension on the
skipping rope
• The arms should be bent comfortable as this helps
with the flow of the rope
• Your hands should be waist high throughout the
jump cycle, about a foot from the side of the body
Please note the length of the rope is very important
because the wrong length can affect your rhythm
and make jumping much harder (Please refer to the

Try to practice getting the rope length right, by standing
on the rope and putting it up towards your sternum. Set
yourself up like this every time you start the skipping

The Basic Bounce Step Jump


This is fundamental to all of the skipping skills and you
will need to practice this to move onto the more difficult
skipping skills. Therefore, practice and practice to master
this key skipping skill!
• From the starting position pull the rope over your
head using a small circular motion of the wrists. The
rope should clear your head by at least 2 inches
• Never turn the rope with your shoulders or arms. It
is all in the wrists as this helps with the efficiency of
the revolutions and rope speed
• Jump over the rope with both feet and keep your
feet together
• Jump high enough to clear the rope, no more than
2 inches by pushing from the balls of the feet while
kneeing your knees and flexing the ankles
• Try resist jumping too high or pull your knees up
towards your chest to clear the rope
• Land as light as possible on the balls of your feet;
stay on the balls of your feet throughout the whole
jump cycle
• Your heels should never touch the ground during
the jump cycle and always land as soft as possible.
This helps to prevent impact injuries on the ankles,
knees and lower back
• Only bounce once per jump cycle to establish your
timing, technique and rhythm. This will increase
once you master the bounce step
• Relax and breathe when performing the exercise, as
this helps you to perform for longer
• Practice as much as you can start off with, get your
rhythm right and avoid the double hop in between
the jump cycle. Remember it’s all about the

revolutions of the rope over the head and in contact
with the floor
• That swoosh sound when the rope makes contact
with the floor is one revolution from the starting to
end position. Repeat jumping the rope each times it
comes over your head

Workout Plans
The following workouts have been designed as high intensity interval training skipping workouts to burn fat and boost
your fitness levels. They can be performed in the park, in the garden or in the gym. Before you begin the workouts
complete a 3 minute steady warm up with the rope.
The exercises incorporated into the workouts are all taken from the ‘jump variation’ section and remember to
read the ‘correct technique’ section before starting the programs. You choose one of the three levels that you feel
comfortable doing and if you are finding the levels too easy or too hard then change to the next level. There are 3 levels
of the workouts i.e. beginner, intermediate and advanced.
For the best results follow the 30 day workout plan overview below and perform the workouts five times a week and
rest the additional two days. Adjust the workouts to suit your home life or work schedule as they only take about 20-40
minutes to complete.
In the rest intervals try to remain hydrated by drinking water, but never stop the rope from moving in the other hand.
The rest intervals are really active rest, so practice doing one arm swings with the rope forwards and backwards.
