Double-Under

How to do it

1. Hold a handle of the jump rope in each hand with the rope behind you, elbows close to your sides and hands slightly in front of your hips.
2. Jump slightly higher than for a normal single skip, keeping your body tall and your knees only softly bent.
3. Spin the rope rapidly from the wrists so it passes under your feet twice during a single jump.
4. Land softly on the balls of your feet and immediately rebound into the next jump, keeping a consistent rhythm.
5. If learning, alternate single skips with one double-under until you can string doubles together.
