Hi can anyone suggest a good warm up routine before doing a jump rope workout? I'm doing some stretches as a warm up exercise. I just want to know what you guys usually do? thanks so much.

i sometimes use skipping AS a warm up for clients...maybe some star jumps, step ups etc for the legs...i wouldn't stretch before it though or you 'll elasticty in the muscles, joints
