How to: Double Jump Rope
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold the jump rope handles.
- Start turning the rope with your wrists, keeping elbows by your sides.
- As the rope approaches your feet, jump slightly, allowing the rope to pass under once.
- For a double jump, jump a bit higher and turn the rope twice before landing.
Common Mistakes
- Jumping too high, which can waste energy.
- Not keeping the rope close to the body, leading to mishaps.
- Using too much upper body strength instead of engaging the legs.
Modifications
- Perform a single jump rope if double unders are too challenging.
- Use a lower intensity by skipping faster instead of doing double jumps.
Tips
- Keep your elbows close to your body while turning the rope.
- Jump lightly on your feet to minimize impact.
- Focus on a rhythmic jump to maintain your pace.
