Double Under Jump Rope

Expert Advice

Keep your elbows close to your sides and use your wrists to spin the rope, not your arms. Stay light on your feet and jump only high enough to clear the rope.

How-to-do Steps

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the rope handles with a firm grip.
  2. Swing the rope over your head and jump as it passes under your feet.
  3. As the rope approaches for the second pass, jump higher and whip the rope quickly to make two rotations per jump.
  4. Land softly on the balls of your feet and immediately prepare for the next jump.
  5. Continue the exercise for the desired number of repetitions or time.
