(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 19, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- A customized jump rope is critical for performing double unders and other intricate training moves and CrossFit Chiang Mai Thailand trainer, Barry Lavis, demonstrates how to correctly size the WOD Nation jump rope in his video guide.
Size does matter in an athlete's jump rope. Too short and it will hit an athlete in the head or shins. Too long and the rope will catch, kink and won't spin properly. In Barry Lavis' new video, he demonstrates the technique for creating a customized rope with the WOD Nation double under jump rope. Without the correct rope-to-height ratio, performing double unders will be virtually impossible. It's one of the reasons that Lavis has endorsed the WOD Nation double under speed jump rope. It's easily tailored to the athlete and requires nothing more than a sharp pair of wire cutters to accomplish. Reassembly is fast and quick with the firm's unique slider system that ensures grips stay firmly in place.
Created by a CrossFit athlete specifically for double unders, the WOD Nation rope has been recommended by Lavis for individuals of all ages and levels of fitness. It's an essential component for successful double unders by athletes. Each WOD Nation rope comes complete with an extra cable and hardware, drawstring storage pouch and lifetime guarantee. The WOD Nation rope is easily tailored for youngsters involved in precision jumping teams and those who just want to have fun. A one-size-fits-all approach isn't viable or safe for children. Many manufacturers advise tying a knot in their rope under the handle, a source of improper balance and potential injury.
Lavis noted that an improperly sized rope is the major impediment to performing double unders. The result is a rope that kinks, curls and catches. Box jump ropes are adequate for learners, but not athletes serious about their training. Missed swings quickly become a chronic problem that can lead to serious injuries with an improperly sized rope.
A correctly sized double under jump rope features the following advantages: Faster progress Reduced risk of injuries Better double under posture Fewer kick-outs and missed swings
There's no substitute for a correctly sized jump rope to push progress to a new level. Lavis provides in-depth explanations and demonstrations to help athletes resize their WOD Nation jump rope to obtain optimal results to obtain optimal results.
