“World record (纪录) broken!” Ma Jiajun, 17, from Jilin sets a new Guinness World Record (吉尼斯世界纪录)—doing the most consecutive jump rope triples (连续三摇跳绳) for 701 times! The last world record is 423 from a Japanese.
Ma is more than 180 centimeters tall but he is really thin. To build a stronger body, he begins to jump rope.
“The training is really hard. I practice every day for four to five hours,” Ma says, “The jump rope triple needs great strength (力量). When I finish training, my abs (肢肌) and back are painful (疼痛的).”
After breaking the record, Ma says, “I hope more people enjoy jump rope because it’s good for your health and it’s full of fun.”
How to do jump rope safely? Here are some tips from Ma.
● Do a warm-up before jumping. It prevents (阻止) you from getting hurt.
● Use the right rope, not too long or too short. Keep your arms close to your ribs.
● Keep a slight bend in your knees and try to land softly.
● Don’t jump too high.
