Power singles
Double-under height with single-under wrists, so the jump is ready before the wrists are.
Half speed. Tap to pause.
Single unders vs double unders: compare the rope passes and try the transition
How
- Singles, but jump as high as a double needs — a hand's width off the floor.
- Keep the rope slow. The jump is the drill.
- Stay tall: no kicking, no tucking.
How much
3 × 15
What it fixes
- Not enough air for a double — “One big pop, two fast flicks.”
