'Entry 20 is a carefully-constructed progression series featuring the first twenty skills I believe every beginner should learn. As qualified personal trainer and jump rope coach, I feel this provides a solid introduction point to most foundational skills in jump rope.  Discover the full beginner course for free at https://www.thejumpropecoachchris.com/beginner  What is a Backwards Open? A Backwards Open is the exact same skill as the standard Open, except the rope is travelling in the opposite direction around us. ⠀ How to do a Backwards Open? Jump lightly on the balls of your feet with your heels off the ground and your feet together. Use your elbows and wrists to turn the rope. Instead of shaking imaginary water off your hands like in the forwards Open, imagine you\'re cupping seeds with your palm instead. Draw your shoulders and elbows back to avoid letting your hands drift out in front of your body as you turn the rope. Like with the forwards Open, jump once per turn of the rope. ⠀ Why is the Backwards Open important? One of the beautiful parts about freestyle jump rope is the ability to do any skill on your left, your right and backwards. It can be a fantastic brain workout to learn your favourite forwards skill backwards. ⠀ What rope should I use? I recommend using a short handle beaded rope for learning jump rope freestyle. You can find fully customisable ones by clicking the link in my bio. This is not a necessity though, any rope is better than no rope.
