Step 1:Grab a rope and sit on the floor with your knees bent and the rope between your legs. One arm will be higher than the other on the rope.
Step 2:Grasping the rope tightly with your palms facing each other, pull up with one hand, bending your elbows and moving up the rope. Keep your legs bent while doing the movement and also keep your core tight.
Step 3:Take your other hand and pull up, repeating with each hand as you continue to move up the rope until you reach the top. Continue to keep your legs bent and off the rope, maintaining tightness in your core as well.
Step 4:When you reach the top, move your hands back down the rope, moving down in a controlled motion until you reach the bottom.
