Complete 12 to 15 reps for each leg.
Bring both feet forward, and lean back a bit to at least 45 degrees.

take a stab at maintain the same pace for each set.
The moment you lose correct posture or technique, the rope will automatically stop!
Grab a jump rope, and do 10 total minutes while taking necessary breaks in between.
Swimming
This list of exercises to increase stamina wraps up with swimming.
Swimming is a fantastic, low-impact exercise that builds tremendous strength, power, and conditioning.
I recommend going at an easy pace for 20 to 30 minutes, two to three times per week.
As you improve your technique, you might increase your speed and even try intervals.
