It's important to be able to breathe deeply. It's important to be able to connect to your breath.
And it's important to be able to feel your body, so that you do not become self-conscious when you're in a class, and to be a good instructor. If you make it through a lot of classes, you will be more likely to do that again. A good instructor is someone who teaches you the kind of jumping rope that you will do again. It's good to be asked if you want to be taught a new technique that you haven't done before.

It's good to be taught the basic techniques, which means that you will know the basic moves when you get to the advanced ones. You're also taught the basic postures at several levels, which means that you have the knowledge to go beyond that. At the jumping rope school you will learn a lot of new things, but it is good to think of it as if you are attending a five-year university course. Before you go to the beginner's class, it's good to think of your practice as practice and your body as a practice mat. Practicing jumping rope will help you to become more limber and more able to do more stretches. It will help you to become more flexible in other areas of your life too.
When you are good at doing jumping rope, you will be able to go outside and do a few back and forth stretches with your dog, or you will be able to go back to the beach with friends. And when you are learning to do jumping rope, you will be able to do some stretches to help you stretch out the muscles in your hips when your doctor has asked you to have an MRI test or something like that. As you start to do more jumping rope, you will want to work through your body.
