Love them or hate them.. But mastering Double Unders is key for performance in Crossfit. 👉🏼 If you are learning how to do them or struggling to link them consistently, these are 3 of my top cues to improve Double Unders. 🔝 1: Look 🆙: When we look down it’s easier to get uncoordinated and trip. By looking up we open our body position, reducing our cycling pace slightly and therefore allowing more time for the rope to go under our feet. 2: Bounce from your ankles and keep your feet together: High knee jumps mught get you some reps, but they are more energy demanding and they also increase contact time with the ground, making it more likely for you to trip with the rope. By bouncing of our ankles we will not only be more efficient at the movement, but we will also trip less and get more unbroken reps. 🤩 3: Bring your arms in: When we open our arms we create a wider and lower arch with the rope, making it more likely to trip, as there is less space and time to nail the jump. When we bring our elbows in we create a higher arch, which makes it easier to have good timing and it’s also less shoulder demanding. 🙏 Sometimes we can fix one movement by making small adjustments to its execution. That’s why I encourage all of my athletes to send me videos, so I can give them feedback and those little cues that end up making the difference. If you feel like your training is not going where you think it should go and you are not progressing as much as you should, DM me the word “PERFORM” And I’ll tell you how I can help you get to the place where you should be 💪🏼🫣 📲 You can also send this to that friend who can’t get ahold of his skipping ☺️ #doubleunders #coaching #coach #skipping #rope #crossfit #metcon #conditioning #jump #jumping #coordination #gymnastics #dax #fitness #mobility #trainingday #trainingtips #training

Adjust the SPEED of your Double-Unders Double-unders can be a challenging skill to master, but the way you hold your rope handles can make a big difference in your speed and efficiency. 🚀 Today, we’re talking about the physics behind your rope spin and how small adjustments to your grip can have a big impact on your double-under performance. To maximize your rope speed, focus on using your wrists as the main point of rotation. Avoid relying on your shoulders or elbows, as these larger joints can slow you down and tire you out quicker. When your wrists take charge, you create a more efficient and controlled spin, getting that rope under your feet twice with each jump. Where to Hold the Handle? 🐌 SLOW - Closer to the Bearing/Cable: Holding the handle closer to the top near the bearing or cable gives you less leverage. This might slow down your spin slightly, which could be beneficial if you’re just starting out or need more control. 🦘 FAST - Closer to the Base: Gripping the handle closer to the base gives you a longer handle to work with, increasing the centripetal force. This setup can help you spin the rope faster, perfect for those who are more experienced and looking to speed up their double-unders. Find What Works for You There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Experiment with where you grip the handle to see how it affects your rope speed and timing. If you’re new to double-unders, start with a slower, controlled pace to get a feel for your jump height and hand speed. As you become more comfortable, try adjusting your grip to find what best matches your rhythm and style. If you know someone struggling with double-unders, share this video with them. Mastering the grip could be the key to unlocking their potential! . . . . . . . #CrossFit #DoubleUnder

Struggling with double unders? Chances are you’re deviating too much from your basic bounce form or not bounding high enough. It could also be that your basic bounce isn’t really good enough or fast enough to be attempting double unders yet. Take your time and don’t overthink it 🙅🏼‍♀️ A great drill is: 4 quick single unders then 1 double under. Keep repeating this and, once comfortable, you can reduce the single unders between the double unders until you’re doing double unders consecutively 👊🏼 5mm pvc jump ropes are great for learning double unders. For those who want to max them out for competition (hey crossfitters!), wire ropes are great once proficient but tricky to learn on so do consider pvc to start with.

Double Unders got you feeling 😪? Try these drills: Start with penguin taps to drill rhythm. Making sure your hands hit your side twice before your feet hit the floor. Use a resistance band to practice arms close to your body. The wider your arms get, you he shorter your rope gets. Keep your eyes up and not looking down at your feet. Think about punching down with your wrists instead of turning your wrists. Most importantly, PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. Your dubs will get better with time. #ctfitness #crossfitcommunity #crossfitaffiliate #doubleunders #doubleunder #crossfittraining

I don’t love the penguin taps because it doesn’t teach the correct position. Need help learning double unders? Comment TT and get a free 7 day technique tune up

⚡️Tips for getting Double Unders! ⚡️ Share this with someone who wants to learn double unders! 👀 1️⃣ Get your own rope. It’ll be easier to practice if you’re using the same rope every time. There are cheap options on Amazon! Make sure you don’t get a “speed cable” if you’re a beginner because It’ll spin too fast. You’ll want something with a little bit of thickness so that you can control the speed and work on your cadence/timing. 2️⃣ Measure the rope correctly. Stand in the center of the rope. The handles should fall somewhere between your arm pits and rib cage. 3️⃣ Jump straight up and down. I know it’s easier said than done when you’re first starting but try to stay relaxed and try to keep your legs straight. Aggressively kicking during the jump will only make you more tired. It should feel effortless. 4️⃣ Practice every day! Consistency is key. I recommend practicing for 5-10 minutes every time you workout. Throw it into your warm up or cool down. I promise the more you practice, the more it’ll click! 5️⃣ Keep your arms at your sides Try not to move your arms too much. They should be relaxed. The spin should come from your wrists not your arms. 6️⃣ Look at a focal point. Sometimes it can be helpful to look at one spot in the gym. This may help you stay in place while you’re jumping and focus on your cadence. . . . . #crossfitgirl #crossfittip #howtovideo #fitnesstip #jumprope #doubleunder #doubleundertip
