Double under drills without a rope

Rope in the other bag? Your legs and wrists still came. Two drills rehearse what a double under is built on — a quick, springy bounce and the two-turns-per-jump timing — with nothing in your hands.

What you can practise without a rope — and what you can't

Coaching heuristics, not medical advice. Warm up first — calves and Achilles tendons are what double unders break, and they break cold. Build volume slowly, and stop if something hurts rather than aches.

Pogo hops

Teaches the legs to stay long and the ankles to do the work, with no rope to worry about.

  1. No rope. Legs nearly straight, feet together.
  2. Bounce off the balls of your feet like the floor is hot.
  3. Try to make each contact shorter than the last.

How much: 3 × 20 hops

Penguin taps

A double under's timing with no rope to trip on: one jump, two taps.

  1. No rope. Jump, and tap your thighs twice before you land.
  2. Two quick taps, not two slow slaps — that is the wrist speed.
  3. Land and go straight into the next one.

How much: 3 × 10 in a row

Half speed. Tap a figure to pause or play it.

Each dose is that drill's own. Do one, or both, or tuck them into a warm-up — there's no workout to finish here, and no clock on when doubles arrive.

Send it to someone without a rope

Nothing is sent for you: you choose who gets it, and how. If the buttons don't work on your phone, select the text above and copy it.

When you have your rope, film a real set for a count and cue

dulike counts 10–30 seconds of skipping and names the one thing to fix, with the drill for it. The video stays on your phone; it is read in the browser and never uploaded. The rope is too thin and fast for a camera, so rope counts are estimated from how long you are in the air.

Film it with a rope: taps on your thighs are not doubles, and the camera won't count them as any. Reading this guide saves nothing and moves no rung.
