Considering this, how long should my jump rope be for my height?

If you're over 4 feet, 9 inches, but under 5 feet, 3 inches, use an 8-foot rope. A 9-foot rope fits someone 5 feet, 4 inches tall to 5 feet, 8 inches tall. If you're between 5 feet, 9 inches and 6 feet, 6 inches, a 10-foot rope should work. You'll need an 11-foot rope if you're taller than 6 feet, 6 inches.

Furthermore, how many minutes of jump rope equals a mile? Jumping rope is the equivalent of doing a 5.7-minute mile. A Cooper Institute Aerobic Test found that 10 minutes of jumping equals a 30-minute run. Now that you've learned how to master jumping rope (or at least avoid tripping every time the rope turns), you'll need this workout.

One may also ask, should skipping rope hit floor?

If you're jumping properly, you should be on the balls of your feet (if you stand on your tip toes the 2-4 inch area still on the ground is the ball of the foot) and your knees should be slightly bent. While jumping, your heels should never touch the ground.

Is it OK to jump rope everyday?

I personally jump rope every day or every second day. The advantage is that you can choose your intensity depending on if you want to warm up, burn calories or build strength. In fact, jump rope exercises and intervals can challenge your entire body in a small space of time. Plus it's a great cardio workout.
