CrossFit: What is a good technique to learn double unders?
Double unders are a difficult skill to master, but they are an excellent way to improve your coordination, agility, and cardiovascular fitness. Here are a few tips on how to learn double unders:
- Start by practicing single unders. Once you can consistently hit 20-30 single unders in a row, you're ready to start practicing double unders.
- Find a rope that is the right length for you. The rope should be long enough so that when you stand on the middle of the rope with your feet shoulder-width apart, the handles should reach your armpits.
- Use a fast cadence. The faster you swing the rope, the easier it is to do double unders.
- Keep your elbows close to your body. This will help you to keep the rope close to your feet and make it easier to time your jumps.
- Jump high enough. You need to jump high enough so that the rope can pass under your feet twice before you land.
- Be patient and persistent. Learning double unders takes time and practice. Don't get discouraged if you don't get it right away. Just keep practicing and you'll eventually be able to master them.
