Annie

If double unders are part of your skill set, Annie is a fast-paced workout that leaves you breathless and wasted.  If they’re not, it leaves you frustrated with whip marks along your forearms.  We worked a lot on basic jumping technique which helped some people.  One of the challenges with double-unders is that trying too hard is just as fruitless as not hard enough.  The rope can go too fast, you can jump too high, but this technique requires precision.

In my own experience, I struggled with them for 2 years before they finally clicked. It required the right rope and for me to get too tired to over spin it.

The following is a video that covers some of what we talked about today.
