Side swing and jump
Hear the rhythm first: the rope slaps the floor, you jump. No rope to trip over.
Half speed. Tap to pause.
How
- Both handles in one hand. Swing the rope at your side so it slaps the floor.
- Jump every time it slaps.
- Then try swinging it twice per jump — that is the double-under beat.
How much
3 × 30 seconds
What it fixes
- Uneven rhythm — “Same bounce, every bounce.”
- Not enough air for a double — “One big pop, two fast flicks.”

Not sure this is the drill you need? Film 10–30 seconds of skipping and dulike will count it, name the one thing tripping you up, and hand you the drill for it.
