French fitness expert Mok has designed a "rope skipping progressive plan" specifically for female fitness enthusiasts. When you are just starting out, you only need to jump in the same place for 1 minute. After 3 days, you can jump continuously for 3 minutes. After 3 months, you can jump continuously for 10 minutes. After half a year, you can practice "series jumps" every day, such as jumping for 3 minutes each time, for a total of 5 times, until you can jump continuously for half an hour at a time. Jumping for half an hour at a time is equivalent to jogging for 90 minutes, which is a standard aerobic exercise.
