Execution:
-
1
Begin with the rope behind your feet and hold the handles firmly.
-
2
Swing the rope over your head and make a quick wrist movement to let the rope pass under you twice with each jump.
-
3
Jump with both feet at the same time and slightly higher than in a normal jump to allow time for the rope's double rotation.
-
4
Keep your elbows close to your body and use your wrists to turn the rope, not your arms.
-
5
Land softly on the balls of your feet and prepare for the next jump.
