Penguin taps
A double under's timing with no rope to trip on: one jump, two taps.
Half speed. Tap to pause.
How
- No rope. Jump, and tap your thighs twice before you land.
- Two quick taps, not two slow slaps — that is the wrist speed.
- Land and go straight into the next one.
How much
3 × 10 in a row
