Equipment
Begin the exercise by raising one arm to shoulder level and then quickly lower it back down, allowing the rope to hit the ground.
As you're lowering your first arm, raise your other arm to shoulder level, creating a wave-like motion with the rope.
Continue alternating your arms up and down at a rapid pace, maintaining the wave motion in the rope.
Keep your core engaged and your back straight throughout the exercise, and aim to continue for a set period of time, such as 30 seconds to a minute.
