Instructions

1. Start by holding the handles of the jump rope at your sides, with the rope behind your heels.

2. Begin with a basic jump rope movement, swinging the rope over your head and jumping slightly off the ground to let the rope pass under your feet.

3. Establish a good rhythm with your basic jumps, and when you feel comfortable, prepare to increase the speed of the rope and the height of your jumps.

4. As the rope comes down towards the ground, jump a bit higher and use your wrists to whip the rope around quickly enough so that it makes two full rotations before you land.

5. The timing is crucial; as soon as you see the rope passing under your feet the first time, jump again immediately to clear it for the second rotation.

6. Land softly, absorbing the impact with your knees slightly bent, and immediately prepare for the next jump.

7. Continue to practice double unders, trying to minimize the time spent on the ground between jumps and maintain a smooth and fast rope rotation.

8. Focus on breathing evenly throughout the exercise and keeping your upper body relaxed, with the motion coming mainly from your wrists and forearms.

9. As you improve, work on increasing the number of consecutive double jumps you can perform without stopping or missing.

Note: Double Jump Roping is a high-intensity activity that requires coordination, timing, and endurance. It's an effective exercise for improving cardiovascular health, agility, and footwork. Be sure to warm up properly before attempting double jumps to prevent injury.
