(Health-NewsWire.Net, July 06, 2015 ) San Francisco, CA -- Double unders are challenging even to experienced athletes. In double unders, the rope should go around twice for each jump instead of just once like in regular jumping rope. It takes a lot of speed and agility to achieve double unders. It also needs the proper speed rope.
In his video, certified trainer Barry Lavis talks about the WOD Nation rope and uses it to demonstrate it in performing double unders. Essentially, the two basics that can help with double unders is the right jump rope and the proper technique.
The WOD Nation jump rope is helpful when it comes to double unders because it can be sized to an individual's height. Unlike ordinary ropes, this jump rope can be used by anybody regardless of height because it can be cut to any length. A rope in the wrong size can cause missed swings. This rope is also effective to use in double unders because of its fast spin because its durable handles houses fast metal bearings. It is also designed to eliminate kinks.
To get the most out of the WOD Nation's jump rope design, it is crucial to know the correct technique in performing double unders. These are the two things that Lavis teaches in his video:
Keep the body straight in line. Common double under mistakes are that athletes either kicks forward or back while they are jumping. Try to stay long with the neck. Don't break the body at the hips or knees and aim to put the head directly through the ceiling.
The technique shown in the video is as important as the right jump rope in performing double unders. If jumping rope is a good exercise, being successful with double unders means getting the benefits of a good cardiovascular exercise, developing speed and agility, and achieving physical fitness. The WOD Nation speed rope may be the exercise tool that helps one conquer double unders.
