(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 04, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- Lavis has worked with elite athletes for many years. He is a certified coach at CrossFit in Chiang Mai, Thailand. He is not only a CrossFit Level 1 certified trainer, but he is also a certified CrossFit gymnastics trainer, a certified USAW Olympic weightlifting coach, and he has an excellent background in CrossFit and strength. His training and background give him the proper knowledge about the importance of jumping rope in fitness and training programs.
Lavis endorsed the WOD Nation jump rope for its effectiveness in helping clients in their progress with double unders. He knows that mastering double unders can be frustrating and he has seen men and women struggle in their quest for double unders.
The secret to successfully stringing multiple double unders is the proper technique and the right kind of speed rope. Lavis demonstrates in a YouTube video how to do this challenging routine. He says that it is important that one has to keep the body in a straight line. Many athletes make the mistake of kicking to the back or to the front while jumping. Another common mistake is breaking the body at the hips and the knees. Instead of doing that, athletes should try to stay long in the neck and aim to put their head directly through the ceiling.
Another way to achieve double unders is to use the right jump rope. Barry Lavis endorsed the WOD Nation speed jump rope. One feature of this speed rope which can help an athlete in achieving speed is the fast metal bearing housed in its durable handles. The ball bearings give this speed rope a fast spin and at the ability to eliminate kinks. This speed rope is also stable and helps in recovery after an inaccurate swing.
A special feature of the WOD Nation jump rope not found in box ropes is its adjustability. It can be easily tailored to fit any height. The wrong rope size hinders progress. This rope can be adjusted easily with a pair of wire cutters.
The WOD Nation was designed by an athlete specifically for double unders. Its endorsement by an elite coach and trainer speaks well of the rope's quality and effectivity.
