I’ve been attempting double unders for the past 3 years; was always inconsistent because I whipped myself so much that I always ended up giving up. I have a competition coming up and DU’s are a requirement so I set my mind that I need to learn doing them. I came across this video when I was at a point where I was about to give up. I followed the steps exactly as instructed and I admit that I got stuck a bit in the last part (1 single, 1 double). BUT today I attempted in stringing double unders together and I managed 17 unbroken!!! Point is, follow the instructions of this video because it DOES work. THANKYOU! So happy with my little win 🎉

[@GPNZimu]

Yasss I can officially do double unders, I’m a bit out of breath as I type this but I’m sooooo ecstatic!!!! Thank you thank you!!

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Yay! Thanks for sharing and congrats!:)

[@miyulens6859]

steps to du : 1. do single under 200 reps straight , body stay engaged and tight , use wrist to turn the rope. 2. Do power jump 3.Do 3 single jump +1 double under ( 50 reps) 4.Do 1 single + 1 double (50 reps) 5.Do consecutive double under (start with 2 du, and then move on to 3 du ..and so on )

[@JacobAMcmillan]

dang 200 is a lot

[@JacobAMcmillan]

my cardio is too bad

[@lucass.2588]

glad you mentioned the correct form! I was doing them exactly like you showed in the "bad example"

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Thanks! All about that proper practice!:)

[@RJ-sn8ne]

This video is gold. Spent the christmas break following the progression and now can do double unders. Awesome video, thank you!!

[@bobitlukban]

Watched this last night, and I was able to do it today. Step by step I followed keeping up with form. Within 5mins I was able to do 5reps of 2singles and 1double unders. Thanks!

[@paradisocrossfit1]

bobitlukban Awesome job! Keep up the good work and thanks for letting me know:)

[@bcarpenter9540]

OK .. I have watch a lot of videos on learning double unders .. by far this is the best video I have ever seen .. I am so happy to talked how not to fall into frustration and also on the progression.. I found this video to be very informational and very clear.. Thank you for taking the time to post it .. :-)

[@jackhuddleston9535]

Amazing tutorial!!! Went from not being able to do 1 double to doing consecutive doubles in around 20 mins. Very useful!

[@rundownvids7085]

this is probably the best online video to achieve double unders from zero...very good progression...top drawer method of nailing them. power jump then 3 single 1 double...2 single 1 double etc ...and a decent amount of reps before progressing ...very good advice to calm the student down and get them focussed on each progression...and MOST IMPORTANTLY ...learning to double under and maintain form.

[@RayPereda68]

This is the most practical progression for mastering double unders

***** Fitness is a religion. Gotta keep the faith. ;-)

[@tracyneedham9860]

He didn’t even explain how to make it happen! I can do 200 singles. I can’t do any doubles-after a single or not!

[@Bushchannel]

Hey man, your video is very cool. Best double under tutorial I've found! I've been training for a few weeks now with your system, started doing 2 regular jumps then power jump on the 3rd cycle. I was a bit impatient and kinda moved to doing actual double unders between every 2nd or 3rd single. I've bought a speed rope metal cable and found that helps, yesterday successfully did 21 doubles with single unders in between as you recommend. I'm still jumping a bit high but find it helps to skip in front of a mirror so you can see your technique. My goal is to do consecutive double unders for a full minute!

[@medranoa1490]

Dude, I wanna thank you for posting this video. I learned how to do double under because of this :D

[@paradisocrossfit1]

+Claudio Medrano Great to hear! Thanks for letting me know:)

[@miglaki]

how long it took?

[@ItzHima_97]

Migle for me it took me 2weeks! But I did it every day!!

[@medranoa1490]

It took me about 2 weeks practicing every day for like 30 minutes each day.

[@wojciechjanek1215]

Really good tutorial. I like it :) Will try tomorrow. Greetings from Poland!

[@auroracstnd]

thank you sooooooo freakin much for this video. ive been trying for 2 years and watched your video last night and got it today!!!! dude, seriously.... THANKS!

[@keliemorgan808]

This is the best DU video on KZbin IMO. Thanks for posting! 💪🏼

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Boom! Thanks for your support Kelie:)

[@legowizard6]

Thank you so much I mastered double unders in a week thanks to this tutorial! :D

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Boom! Great to hear!:)

[@jasontong4938]

A week??? Now I really feel stupid lol

[@SiyabongaAfrica]

This looks like solid advice. I'm gonna work on this progression this week.

[@ummielove]

Thank you for this thorough tutorial ! My goal for this year is to tackle double unders. I appreciate you! 🤗💪🏽

[@Sanction05]

Did this for an hour and my DU's improved by leaps and bounds. Thanks!

[@michellej2009]

I used your tips this morning! Omg. Soooooo much easier. I couldn't believe I could do it.... thank you!!

[@colterthefresh9253]

I happen to be a drummer, and that comes useful now bc we use our wrist and it helps now that I’m getting into boxing!

[@leifgordon7]

WOW! This might actually be the ticket. Always a major fail when I try DU's....I get frustrated and just do singles, I will start from the beginning and hopefully will be doing DU's in the near future.....Thank you, great tips coach!!

[@bent777]

I'm here because of 24.2

[@leighm3950]

THANK YOU!! This goal finally feels achievable. Will certainly update with progress.

[@bradk8400]

I have watched many videos on how to master double unders for the past 8 frustrating months. This technique of starting out with singles mixed in with doubles is the best way to go. Thanks for the help!

[@paradisocrossfit1]

+Brad K You're welcome! How has it been going?

[@griseldiaz7289]

Thanks for this video, it’s very helpful. I keep bringing my knees up when I’m going for the double. It’s an old habit I’m trying to unlearn. Any other suggestions on how I can unlearn the knee bend?

[@PassionDancer44]

Soooooo i had a feeling this video was gonna be awesome. Watched it before bed one night and couldn't wait to try the steps. Next day, applied the steps and yes like so many others said 👏 I got it. Gotta work on form some more to get smooth repetition, but I've officially done a double under. Never give up.

[@phoenixlayton1825]

I’m saving this video! I just got my double under ( only 1 sometimes 2 at a time) I’m going to follow the rest of this video to get it consistently! Thanks!!

[@catherinepalma5329]

Thank you for this video. I just unlocked DU earlier and it was the greatest feeling ever! :)

[@loistroyer5353]

Thank you. I am sure this video is really going to help me.

[@glenngibson8532]

Bravo! Good stuff. A common-sense approach

[@arjhutchinson]

Excellent. Thank you, i gona follow your progression. I'm looking for something like this.

[@TicianoDiniz]

It took me 2 days to learn THE RIGHT WAY to double under with this video. Thanks a lot!

[@paradisocrossfit1]

You're welcome! Thanks for the comment and good luck:)

[@guilhermecamargo4099]

that was a amazing class.. thank u

[@carlaperna8946]

This was a very helpful video when I was learning my double unders. However, I have a question regarding turning while doing my double unders, oscillating, like a sprinkler. When I start I focus on a spot just above parallel but my body turns to the left as i do them. I trust what my coach has told me what's happening, that my dominant foot (left) is landing milliseconds faster. I can continue stringing them, how do I stop this bad habit? Any tips you may have to correct this is greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@MwattinLeebi]

Just want to say a big thank you! I followed your video and I got!

[@jasontodd7236]

Great instruction. Thank you

[@WesleyTheriault]

Great video! very helpful

[@scotsbhoy4326]

Wow Thank you. Ive never done one and i watched this and now i can

[@lucfromczech]

Very helpful! Thank you a lot!!

[@zeta.ophiuchi]

Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for! At gymnastics I used to jump double unders different way, what you call breaking the form, and this method makes it really impossible to do hundreds of double unders unbroken. We had never been supposed to jump them more than for purpose of single jumping training.

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Oksana Varlamova Great to hear! Thanks for letting me know it helped:)

[@stefanopolizzi6722]

great explanation!! thanks

[@RealAdvc]

Thank you sir im a begginer and i find this very helpful! Good day!

[@keishafarrington6951]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! This was AWESOME advice. I can finally do double unders.

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Great to hear! Thanks for sharing:)

[@lord_beerme_strength]

Jesus, I can't go 20 singles without messing up.

[@guilhermecamargo4099]

yes! lets practice every day and triple under will be the next goal lol

[@himanshumittal9719]

You can increase your reps like this: Skip 1 rope at a time and keep it increasing. Eg: Move the rope once and jump once. Then move the rope twice and jump twice and so on. If you trip, start from square one.

[@maxinetaylor5770]

Amanda Draper Jesus already knows you can’t do 20. Lol

hahaha you have so much personality!

Great advice ! Thank you!

This sound good, I'll def give it a try!

[@jjvgeeh98]

AWESOME!!! Really good instructions!

[@paradisocrossfit1]

jjvgeeh98 Thanks! Hopefully will get some more like this put together:)

[@michellej2009]

great tutorial! I'm excited to try your suggestions!

[@paradisocrossfit1]

+Michelle Joyner Its been a few months, how has the progress been?

[@melaniewiersma7236]

Really awesome video! I feel like I can't turn my wrists fast enough! 😂😳

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Thats ok! Here are two quick tips: 1. Hold both ends of the jump rope in one hand, without jumping or moving your arm, just work on swinging the jumprope around. Its kind of awkward, but can be good training for the wrists. 2. If you don't mind spending a couple bucks, this is a great product for training the wrists: jumpnrope.com/product/speed-balls/ Good luck and let me know how it goes!:)

[@roberth.schweitzer2829]

It's taken me 5 months to build up to 200 singles for the first time. But everytime I try double unders my form falls apart so I still think this progression makes sense for me. I don't want to learn bad habits that will be with me in the coming years.

[@nathanmiller7759]

Awesome video man. Helped me out a lot!

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Awesome, thank you!

[@RideFlyJump]

I struggled for months with a thin, light cable, (propper speed rope). Just couldn't get any feel in the wrists and couldn't catch any rhythm. Got a heavier cable with heavier handles (by accident) and started knocking 10-15 DU's within a week. Switched back to speed rope today and started doing 15-20 from first go.

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Pretty cool right?! Its the little things. Thanks for sharing!

[@Vanguard152]

Thank you for this tutorial - it helped me a lot!!!!

[@paradisocrossfit1]

+Vanguard 152 Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback and let me know if there are any other movements you need help with!

[@christopherjames6060]

Do I start off with a slightly heavier jump rope or use the PVC one that I’ve currently got? Liking the 3 single jumps to 1 double under, been jumping for years but never really stuck at giving DU a go

[@didinho55555]

Amazing tutorial

[@dianep6396]

Brilliant video, thanks for the tips. Have avoided these until now. I'm off to buy a rope!

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Good luck and let us know how it goes!:)

[@justpressplayfilms]

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Awesome! Thanks for sharing:)

[@outsound]

1) Thanks to this progression, I'm finally starting to get single-single-double in strings of 5-10 after a year of going nowhere. 2) I dropped in at Paradiso Crossfit in Venice last week and had a blast! Awesome coaches, great atmosphere, and plenty of equipment.

[@sonuxjithin]

Well informed video thanks

[@baharehkhorasanchi4116]

U explained Soo good !

[@ryoken99]

is there one double under crossover?

[@SBB_News]

Been sitting outside trying to get these tonight... unsuccessful. Watched your video and decided to start with 200 unbroken singles. That was a lot harder than I thought it would be, but I did an unbroken set. Day 1. I'll update as time goes.

[@LusyLady]

I just did it!! Thank u

[@VictorCXSdotcom]

thanks a lot, very usefull

[@mushuihuang6643]

Wow thanks!I already knew how to do double under but only can do 1 each time :D

[@jordanappolyon7113]

I have to try this today

[@desireehora9907]

Thank I learned something today

[@lucyburns7249]

I always got told a rope heavier up to about my armpits. What rope would you recommend?

[@nikunjkrishnarayal]

I began with thinnest one. Too much painful when tripped.

[@candyjr82]

paradisocrossfit can you post links of where to purchase those jump rope

[@paradisocrossfit1]

The cheaper ones I used for the majority of the demonstration is from buyjumpropes.net. My preference is the RPM jumprope when you get to a faster, lighter cable style though:)

[@okioki1131]

Man! You gotta get a crossrope, will greatly step your game up!

[@jungferheidelbeer8986]

Lol I just got an ad for Crossrope on this video :)

[@VeejayAragon]

Hopefully I can do this.

[@316messenjah]

do you recommend a similar approach (short length of rope) for learning and mastering singles as well?

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Absolutely!

[@rahilaumbreen3863]

I have a question. I pass the rope once but jump 2 times. Like I put my feet 2 times on the ground. Is it possible I jump one time and pass the rope once too??

[@rachelstone3079]

Nice demo, thanks! Just wondering if a headset mic might help decrease the echo n the sound recording...

[@paradisocrossfit1]

Yeah, I made this a long time ago with my iPhone for our members and never realized over a million people would watch it!:)

[@carstenbirdsong]

Thanks 👌

[@OmegaRedFan]

I am good at bench press squat and even power cleans but I am bad at DUs. Something is wrong with me.

[@vinaysrivastava377]

can you recommend some jump rope exercises for badminton players

[@piawan2191]

Vinay Srivastava Agree

[@trentski25]

Great Demonstration. Thank you
