(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 02, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- Performing double unders is the goal of many athletes but achieving them can be challenging. With his extensive experience, Coach Lavis has seen athletes get frustrated in their pursuit of mastering them. In this video, he demonstrates the proper technique of doing it using the WOD Nation jump rope.
Lavis explains that for those who are starting out, box jump ropes are sufficient. As the athlete progresses, they may not be satisfactory because box jump ropes get easily kinked which greatly affects rope swings. They also come in one size and cannot be sized to properly fit persons using them.
The WOD Nation jump rope can help with the common problems athletes encounter with ropes. The WOD Nation rope is not designed not to kink easily. It also produces a stable swing which helps in recovery during inaccurate swings. And unlike box jump ropes, this can be sized easily using a pair of sharp wire cutters. The proper size to height ratio is vital in performing double unders correctly. This rope designed by an athlete answers the issues which frustrate those who want to master double unders.
A jump rope is an essential exercise tool for many types of sports training because jumping rope improves balance, coordination, and agility. For amateur athletes and beginners, jumping rope is a great exercise for cardio health and overall fitness. For experienced athletes, mastering double unders is the goal because it requires a higher jump and faster spins. The WOD Nation speed rope's features, including the fast metal bearings housed in its handles, can be key to achieving double unders.
Aside from the right equipment, another important factor to remember when mastering double unders is proper technique. Lavis demonstrates this in the video. He says that the body has to be kept in a straight line and not to kick forward or back. Another thing to remember is to stay long in the neck and not to break the body at the hips or knees. The goal is to put the head directly through the ceiling.
Lavis demonstrates that with the proper equipment like the WOD Nation speed rope and the technique shown in the video, double unders can be achieved easily.
