Double unders are a major part of CrossFit. To complete a successful double under you must have the rope pass under your feet two times in a single jump.

We are working double unders right now… Some people just cringe when they hear the word  double under. If you can get yourself into a better rhythm with the jump rope, you can find out how to do these. What i usually see people having problems with is they are either trying to go too fast and they are clipping their feet with the jump rope, or the are not quiet jumping high enough and can’t find the timing with the rope.

Here is what it looks like we are going to go head on and then side on

Notice my rhythm I am very easy jumping. I’m not doing anything crazy i’m just keeping a good rhythm. If I turn to the side you’re going to notice my hands don’t really move up and down in a big way. They stay tight and my wrists are turning. So what I am going to is stay that same rhythm I don’t go too fast.

Ok its all about rhythm. Its all about figuring out and paying attention to where the rope is when you are spinning it. If you can understand where the rope is you will be able to better get your feet over it longer and longer.
