Setup

 

• Stand with your feet under hips, core tight and arms slightly in front of hips with elbows close to the body

• Take a loose grip on the handles of your jump rope

 

Execution

 

• Rotate your writs to build speed with the rope and jump just as the rope is about to pass under you

• Land on the balls of your feet

• The rope must pass under you for the repetition to count

• "Double unders" require the rope to pass under your feet twice per jump (see below)

​

Tips

 

• Keep elbows close to the body

• Limit extraneous movements and jumping high - these will exhaust you
