Not too long ago I learned to do Double Unders, a jump rope trick in which the rope passes under your feet twice as you jump up in the air. This means that your wrists are turning much faster and you're also jumping a little bit higher. So when I came across a video featuring a gorgeous Victoria's Secret model effortlessly performing double unders, I thought, ah, easy peasy, I should be able to do that in no time at all.
Wrong! All I did was whack myself in the head over and over because I just could not clear the rope. Obviously, I had my work cut out for me. So I set out to practice everyday for 4 weeks and by the end of it, I managed to do two in a row.
For me, jumping rope aka skipping is all about having fun while getting fit. I really enjoy the challenge and the total body workout. If you'd like to learn skipping, make sure to smash that subscribe button so you can see my latest videos as soon as I post them.
Remember, rope training requires lots of practice. Be patient with yourself and enjoy the process. If you don't get it today, practice with me everyday and you'll get fit in no time.
