Jump Into a Healthy Life

1999
"Jump Into a Healthy Life " is a web site which teaches kids how to do some of the basic, intermediate and advanced jump rope tricks that Jump Rope Demonstration teams do in their performances. We designed some of our own skills that can be used by other kids. Through our research, we hope to help kids learn about heart health and answer the question "What does jumping rope have to do with a healthy heart?" By creating quizzes and word puzzles, other kids can make the connection between rope jumping and heart health. Links to other healthy heart and jump rope sites are included. We hope that kids around the world will learn to love jumping rope the way that we do.
