Skipping

Skipping is necessary for badminton players to build power in legs,improve jump and build hand muscles.
Play some music while skipping to not getting bored..
Keep your back straight, and for beginners jump two footed only a few inches from the floor.
After playing a match don't sit on the bench,do skipping.Do skipping with several variations.variations are shown in video.

Benefits-
1.Continuous skipping will give you a high intensity workout, and it’s great for the muscles of the upper and lower body. Just 20 minutes skipping will burn 250 calories
 2.Skipping targets the calves, thighs, bottom, and shoulders, helping to keep these areas toned. It is a lower impact activity than running, is kinder to the joints and consequently, carries a smaller risk of injury.

How to Skip-
1. Stand tall but relaxed – breathing naturally
2. Elbows remain at waist level with arms extended sideways at about a 90 degreee angle.
3. Use a circular wrist motion to turn the rope.
4. Hold the rope loosely, using thumb and index finder for control.
5. Jump on the balls of the feet landing softly.
6. Jump just high enough for the rope to pass under the feet.
Sixty to seventy turns per minute is a good starting pace.
