Jump Roping In July - Double Unders

If you are stuck on Double Unders then this post is for you. So many athletes tell me that they can't do them or are just plain bad. We have had great success with this skill and believe with a few adjustments you can check them off your list.Lets take a look at a rough technical model to see if we can get you up to 50 unbroken reps by the end of the week.

Double Under Quick List

• A longer, heavier rope is easier to learn but limits high end performance
• Attempt doubles like you do singles - relaxed and without kicking your heels to your glutes
• The rope MUST touch the floor on each rep
• Arms close to your sides hands slightly out in front
• Chest Up for better posture and alignment to support more elastic jumps
• Finally - Practice, Practice, Practice - You should be able to add double unders nearly every time you attempt them.

The nice thing about this skill is that it is self limiting. You either get it or you don't. Your body will start to make minor adjustments to master the skill immediately.
