How to scale Minute Ten's double unders, by level

One row per best unbroken set. Top line: keeping moving. Second line, when it differs: practising doubles.

Best unbroken	10 DU, each minute
Can't do one yet	20 singles (2:1) Practise: 10 penguin taps
1+	20 singles (2:1) Practise: Doubles for 0:15, then singles at 2:1
5+	10 double unders, as written
10+	10 double unders, as written
25+	10 double unders, as written
50+	10 double unders, as written

Singles are 2:1 — your box uses 3:1? Three singles per double, the rest stands. These are common box rules of thumb, not measured on athletes.

Not sure what your best is? Film 10–30 seconds and dulike counts it, puts you in a band, and hands you the drill that gets you to the next one.
