You are constantly learning and unlearning to put the best step forward. That is as much applicable to your fitness sessions that teach one a little more about their body and how to pick up the correct form and technique. Four More Shots Please! actor Maanvi Gagroo recently learnt a “game-changing technique” for skipping, courtesy of trainer Tridev Pandey.

“I thought I was awesome at skipping until I realised I’d been doing it wrong all along,” wrote Maanvi on her Instagram Stories. The video, posted by the trainer, shows that instead of sticking to the 2 jumps, 1 skip technique, one needs to tweak it.

“This technique will get you skipping in no time,” wrote Pandey, even as he appreciated Maanvi’s efforts. “Kudos on learning this so fast & doing it so efficiently!” he added.

Here’s how to ace skipping.

*Start with normal skipping
*Once you feel, you have got it right, hold the rope in one hand and synchronise your skipping with the rope.

Before we dive into whether the technique helps, here’s how skipping benefits.

Appoorv Aggarwal, a certified Zumba instructor said that skipping is a great form of exercise to follow for cardiovascular health as it accelerates the blood flow and improves our breathing pattern. “It affects our leg and core muscles as it makes them stronger,” said Aggarwal.

According to fitness trainer Sameeran Chetia, Maanvi is doing a basic movement. “This movement does the job and one can start from this movement and can progress to other movements like criss-cross movement, double unders, boxer skip, etc. The technique is for people to understand the rhythm. That’s what he is trying to show here because skipping is all about practice the more you do it the better you get with the various movements,” Chetia told indianexpress.com.
