Modifying your Double-Unders for Your Workout!
Written by Lindsey Johnson
Still working on getting that magical first D/U: When a workout comes up with double-unders and you don’t have them yet, give them a try anyway. You may just surprise yourself and get one! If singles still evade you, then maybe we should be working on those, but assuming your singles are good, give the doubles a try. Don’t sit in your comfort zone and single under your way through the workout. Choose a smaller number than what’s on the white board (maybe 1/2 of the prescribed reps) and give yourself credit for attempts since you’re still doing the work.
You’re still attempting them, sometimes they happen, sometimes they don’t: An elite athlete, or someone who’s a bad ass at double-unders will get that 50 unbroken reps in about 50 seconds or less. We don’t want to dedicate 5 minutes per round to try to get there. Let’s double that 50 seconds and say a good 2 minutes of attempts or as many reps as you can get in that 2 minutes and then move on to the next movement. The other option is 25 attempts and attempts count!
You’re getting them but they have singles in between and sometimes you miss: This is a good opportunity to cut the reps in half (do 25 instead of 50) and maybe depending on how often you miss reps, also count the attempts.
Your max is right around 20 and that was an Act of God: We may want to attempt all 50 here, but it depends on how much time you need in between your attempts to keep going. Have a look at the clock and try not to work on them for more than 2-2 1/2 minutes.

Before you know it all of you will be looking forward to those double-unders coming up in your workout! Happy jumping!
