Double Unders

Another classic conditioning tool.  The double under also develops agility, balance, coordination and speed.  Click HERE for a demo with explanation.  A challenging movement for many, be sure to watch the learning progression and read the scaling suggestions below!

 

Scaling/Substitution Suggestions:

If you have a double under, but are still learning – Scale down the number of reps and/or count your missed attempts as succesful reps as well.

 

Substitute a run that lasts a similar length of time.  For example, 50 double unders and 200 meter run both last around a minute.

 

Substitute low box jumps that can be performed quickly – typically a similar number of reps as the double unders

 

Perform double or triple the number of reps of the Basic Bounce as double unders
