Strengthening the Mind with Jump Rope Performance Artist Adrienn Banhegyi (#11)

“When you teach, you learn even more.” — Adrienn Banhegyi

Adrienn Banhegyi (IG: @adriennbanhegyi_jump or www.adriennbanhegyi.com) Adrienn is an incredibly polished jumper and knows how to put together difficult sequences and make them look easier than a single bounce. As you will hear, she has quite the extensive history with jump rope. With over 26 years of experience in the sport, Adrienn brings so much great insight and information to the table during this conversation. She has competed on an international level. She’s done many large scale performances, including many TV spots and jobs with Cirque. And on top of this, she’s worked as a personal trainer and has practiced several different fitness disciplines, including TRX, Bosu ball training, group classes and more. Needless to say, Adrienn shares a gold mine of jump rope knowledge, and I’m really excited all of you to absorb it. We cover all sorts of topics, including her research with coaching group jump rope classes, strengthening the mind with jump rope, coaching special needs children, her business Jump Plus World, and a whole lot more.

You can listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher and Overcast.

Here’s what you should be doing during the Swing

Doing a Running In Place Cross to a Swing Transiti

Doing a Running In Place Cross to a Swing Transition is a classic pattern that’s great for cardio & is just really cool to do! Here’s how you do it correctly:

👉 The top hand in the Cross is the side that you are going to swing to first. This is critical because it feels like your hands are just opening up next to your body

👉 But when you put your hands in that position, the hand that is farther from your body ends up being the dominant hand, pulling the rope over to the other side of your body

👉 If the dominant hand stays on top for the second Swing, it’ll be super easy to get back to a regular Single Under

👉 And if you mix up these hand placements, it’s going to be a lot harder haha so look at exactly where my hands are, because getting those hand positions done correctly means you’re going to be able to do this whole sequence nice and easily!

P.S. If you’re new to jump and want to explore freestyle skills, sign up for my free beginner program (link in my bio)! I built the program with everything you need to know to learn skills correctly from the start - that means 30+ full-length videos modules and challenges 👌

The Inverse Leg Over to a Cross is kind of the wei

The Inverse Leg Over to a Cross is kind of the weirdest leg crossing skill haha here’s how you do it:

👉 The leg you lift should moves across your body. You’ll probably need to need to turn your torso a little bit to actually make that leg get over to the other side

👉 Your hand should go underneath your knee next to the outside of your thigh. When you do this hand placement, it’s very easy to block the path of the rope. So placing the handle right behind your knee so the rope will be wide enough to actually pass over your body!

👉 And once the rope does come around, just let your hands drop down into a Cross. Use your leg to push your hand down next to your side into that crossed position
