Speed Jump Rope — Aluminum Handles with Bearings, Adjustable Steel Cable

The double under — two rotations of the cable for a single jump — requires less strength than rhythm. Here is the order in which to learn it.

1. Shorten the rope. A cable that is too long slows down the rotation. To work on double unders, adjust the handles to neck height rather than armpit height.

2. Find the high jump. Perform ten single jumps while intentionally jumping higher, without speeding up the rope. The goal is to feel the available hang time.

3. Speed up the wrists, not the arms. On a high jump, give two quick flicks of the wrist. The first attempts will fail: that is normal, the timing is established over a few sessions.

4. Link them in twos. One single, one double, one single, one double. This alternating pattern is easier than consecutive doubles and builds rhythm.

Adjust the length first. Place one foot in the center of the cable and pull the handles up: they should reach armpit level. A speed rope is often adjusted slightly shorter than a standard jump rope.

Let your wrists do the work. Keep your elbows close to your body and your forearms almost still. With a speed rope, it is the wrists that provide the speed; the arms are only there to maintain the line.

Jump low and softly. Two to three centimeters are enough. A steel cable moves fast: jumping higher is useless; it is better to increase your frequency.

Watch the surface. The coated steel cable wears out faster on concrete and asphalt. Prefer wood flooring, a mat, or a smooth surface, and wear cushioned shoes.
