Double unders with jump rope
Intermediate30 secondsJumping
How to do it
- Start standing with your feet together and looking straight ahead.
- Hold the handles with your elbows close to your sides and the rope behind your heels.
- Keep your shoulders relaxed and your core engaged.
- This is your starting position.
- Jump vertically by pushing off the balls of your feet, aiming for more height than in a regular jump.
- Quickly rotate your wrists so the rope passes under your feet twice before touching the ground.
- The movement should come from your wrists, keeping your torso upright without tucking your knees.
- Land softly on the balls of your feet to absorb the impact and link the next jump.
- One execution counts as one repetition.
- The key is rhythm and coordination, prioritizing wrist speed over brute force.
