I dont use a routine,

i move forwards and backward, alternate feet, bring my knee's up high and change tempo but i do it at random.

I jump rope for 7 rounds. I try crossing my feet over while i jump, bring the right over the left, then back to centre, then left over right. Today I'm goning to do something new during shadowboxing. I'm going to jump rope between rounds as my rest period. I'm try to improve my recovery.

do the "heel-toe" with tha jump rope then when theres like 30 seconds left do high knees or double up
and try runnin around with it and do some criss crosses

I dont know what you mean by heel-toe.

i skip for five 3 minute rounds (sprint skipping for the last 30 secs of each round) with 30 seconds rest between each round. Sometimes i do a circuit exercise such as press ups or crunches during the rest periods.
I also add 10 seconds to a round if i make a mistake (as in rope hits feet and i have to stop or whatever.)

I skip 2 min rounds with one minut shadow between times 5.

I split the rounds in intervals like 15sec normalpace 15sec sprint 15 normal 15 sec double and so on.
