Double Unders for Beginners
Common Errors to Avoid When Skipping
This isn’t child’s play. Here are three common errors to avoid.
The Crucifix
Lets his arms drift miles from his body, shortening the rope and catching his feet. Keep your arms pressed tight at your sides.
The Dolphin Trainer
Kicks his feet out in front of his body, compromising his rhythm. Jump directly upward, keeping your feet under your hips.
Mr Angry
Launches his rope across the floor after failing at a double-under. Trip up? Take a breath and start again. Perform more singles to get your cadence back.
