This is a fantastic video. I watched once, took notes on all the steps, practiced a few times and have now managed to string together more double unders in a row than I ever have before. Cadence and hand position turned out to be the issues for me.
There are tons of videos trying to teach double unders all over the web but this video has the most useful information and tips. Keep up the good work you’re doing great!
1.ALIGNED: Keep body aligned when jumping. 2. CADENCE: Double under cadence will be slower than singles. 3. COORDINATION: Tap hands twice on thighs while jumping 4. Keep arms relaxed. Hands in peripheral (don't get wide; Set up 2 boxes if necessary; can also put bands under armpits)
I just had to comment... I’ve watched hundreds of videos on fitness and your instructions are super concise and simple to comprehend. You truly are a great teacher! Super helpful. Thank you!!!
Hey, I must say....very good couching. I've been a trainer for 17 years so I know the difference. Very good attention to detail. You pointed out many technical points and methods that many other jump rope coaches fail to mention. I haven't seen that level of attention to detail when learning the double under. Thanks for your insight.
Best DU tutorial, I’ve been doing Crossfit for 3 years, haven’t been able to perform but one DU. This video was very enlightening and can’t wait to start practicing my DU the right way!
Yes but sometimes the way some people teach it doesn’t click, this video made sense to me and guess what!???? I can already perform DU thanks to this video.
This is an awesome DU break down, training video! I’ve been practicing DU by just trying to do them and failing (also getting a lot of whips on my arms!). I am excited to put this training into use. Thank you!
I didn't realize I had the same issue until I watched this video. I do my single unders really fast. I need to just practice the slower jumps and doing the double hand taps until it becomes second nature. Then I'll add the rope in :)
These steps make it seem very doable for someone who has never managed to do double unders. I bought a good skipping rope months ago but didn't know where to start with double unders so this really gives me a great step by step manageable process to follow to do double unders. Thanks for that.
By far the best du video I have EVER scene. Not surprised coming from you. I have followed you for over a year and think you are the best around. Thank you for all you do.
good pointers, my training focuses on jumping the shortest distance in the sky. Without a rope, I have students jump and barely spring off the floor...
We just did these last week and I couldn't figure out what I needed to do to manage one or what I was doing wrong. This video gave me some good points to look out for on form and some ways to practice.
suppppperrrrbbbb coach! i am a coach too and i really appreciate this level of knowledge plus awareness plus experience combined to actually implement it whilst coaching, or in this case putting it out there for everyone . plus good job with the camera too :)
These were useful tips for athletes and coaches. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience! I look forward to helping others improve their double unders!
Hey guys, great vid! Thanks for posting. My problem is I'm stuck at 50 DU. I do a good bit of other metabolic work so I don't think wind is a problem but my arms start feeling heavy and my form, (i.e., arms), get hard to control as I approach 50. So I get there but getting beyond is a problem. How can I build more capacity in terms of volume? Thanks.
my left wrist isnt as quick as right wrists. My right can go in cicrles easy but my left, mostly just goes in a up and down motion, not circles. How can i fix this??
First of all, let me say thanks for this amazing channel! Really nice work, i salute you! I have an honest question. I am new to crossfit, i can't do DU, i can do singles. I want to start learning, but my question is: Why DU are better than singles? I want to learn DU anyway, but i would like to know: Are DUs just a different exercise that works different things, or is it an improvement of SUs? For instance, when we have a WOD that says 40 DUs or 80 SUs, are the 40 DUs gona benefit me more, or is it just.... a different thing with different pros and cons?
The longer the rope, the more forgiving it is on mistakes or bad positions, in general. We usually try to get the rope to a length that allows the end of the handles to be at armpit height while standing on it with both feet.
When starting a set of double unders, do you start immediately doing double unders from the get go or can I do one single and then go into double unders after the first rep? Does that make sense?
I’ve been taking HIIT classes for over a year and never really broached the double unders subject, always proficient with singles. I’m definitely going work on my double unders , always looking for something to help keep up my interest n.

I tried implementing some of these principles and it’s helpful - specifically keeping my hands out of airplane mode and double tapping!
That thigh tapping/ jumping drill is brilliant! Trying it now
I just had to comment... I’ve watched hundreds of videos on fitness and your instructions are super concise and simple to comprehend. You truly are a great teacher! Super helpful. Thank you!!!
One of the better double under training videos I’ve seen. Can’t wait to try all these new tips tomorrow
I’ve been trying for sooo long!!! And this video is definitely helpful!!! Can’t wait to try later today!!!

what!!! your coaches haven't taught you yet? you should jump a little higher if you already haven't gotten this. Atleast for me it worked.
Yes but sometimes the way some people teach it doesn’t click, this video made sense to me and guess what!???? I can already perform DU thanks to this video.
Double tap while in the air... Was the best tip i think... Nice video... Thanks... Crossfit soar
This is an excellent training. Double unders are not as bad once you get them down
Great tips. Going to try to come out of quarantine knowing how to do DU's!
Some good stuff here. Keep repeat button turned on!
Dude these videos are super useful. Thanks for sharing.
Best DU tutorial I have watched after watching many UA-cam Videos
Agreed. I even saved it so I can’t watch it again later.
CrossFit SOAR any suggestions on the type of rope for feedback for beginners?
This is an awesome DU break down, training video! I’ve been practicing DU by just trying to do them and failing (also getting a lot of whips on my arms!). I am excited to put this training into use. Thank you!
Can't wait to try these drill. After 5 years of Xfit I have not been able to do double unders - YET
You get them yet!?
Feel like i just had a legit session in personal training and body mechanics. This was great content.
Dude that keeping band under arms and double tap is grate idea thank thank you so much now I can practice without thinking that would mess up my fram
I think I finally figured out my issue. I need to slow down my jump when attempting DUs. Thanks for the great video
I didn't realize I had the same issue until I watched this video. I do my single unders really fast. I need to just practice the slower jumps and doing the double hand taps until it becomes second nature. Then I'll add the rope in :)

Jumped into, no pun intended, the RPM 10k challenge... and I have never actually tried doubles until now. Thanks for a great and concise reference!
Wow. Makes me want to move to NJ to have you guys as coach. Really useful and great videos. Thank you.

We just did these last week and I couldn't figure out what I needed to do to manage one or what I was doing wrong. This video gave me some good points to look out for on form and some ways to practice.

Can you give any tips on correct rope length, obviously has to do with hand position, but how do I ensure the rope is the proper length for my form?
helpful tips indeed 😍
Woooow!!
Thanks a lot!!
Great video!
Very helpful....🙏🏾
Well said. Thanks 💪
Great video
Didn't mention correct rope length
Thanks
Thanks, now i get it! excellent explanation
This was so helpful!!!
Dude that was great!
Great video!
Nast is super girl! 💪🏼
Just one thing, what about setting the rope length?
I would go to jumpnrope.com/education/how-to-size-your-jump-rope/ to find out how to size your rope.

Totally unrelated, but can you tell me what brand shoes she is wearing? I love them!!
Great Tips for DU
my left wrist isnt as quick as right wrists. My right can go in cicrles easy but my left, mostly just goes in a up and down motion, not circles. How can i fix this??
You didn’t talk about breathing- which is what I need.
It worked in first try😎😘

How long should the rope be? Can you show where the handles should come up to?
The longer the rope, the more forgiving it is on mistakes or bad positions, in general. We usually try to get the rope to a length that allows the end of the handles to be at armpit height while standing on it with both feet.
awesome 👏! thanks!
Thanks man!!
Muchas gracias
Do you jump higher when doing DU than you would for singles?
What kind of shoes is she wearing? They look like Airwalks from the 90's i love but cant find anymore!
Right on.
Thanks!
When starting a set of double unders, do you start immediately doing double unders from the get go or can I do one single and then go into double unders after the first rep? Does that make sense?
It depends on your skill level. If you are new to double-unders, it is perfectly fine to do 2-3 singles to get your rhythm before starting doubles.
I’ve been taking HIIT classes for over a year and never really broached the double unders subject, always proficient with singles. I’m definitely going work on my double unders , always looking for something to help keep up my interest n.
