Double-Under
The rope passes twice under the feet on one jump; jump a little higher, spin from the wrists, and count the passes.
How to do it
Setup
Rope sized so the handles reach the armpits when stood on; elbows in.
Steps
- Jump a little higher than a single, body straight, toes pointed.
- Spin the rope from the WRISTS.
- Two passes under the feet per jump; count the passes.
Common mistakes
Tucking the knees or piking: the jump is straight, only higher. Arms swinging wide to speed the rope: the wrists spin, elbows stay in. Rushing the first pass: the rope catches the feet; set the rhythm on singles first.
Breathing
Steady with the rhythm.
