Thought jump rope was hard enough? You’d be surprised. For those looking to supercharge their activities, crisscrossing is a full-on, hard-pounding twist to traditional jump roping.
The move involves crossing your arms in front of you while the rope is in the air and then uncrossing them before the rope comes back down - allowing you to jump through the loop.
