Jump Rope Single Under

How to Perform Jump Rope Single Under

1. 1
   Start by holding the jump rope handles slightly in front of your hips. Keeping your upper body upright and your body in a straight line, jump your feet a few inches off of the ground.
2. 2
   Rotate the wrists so that the rope passes under your feet one time with each jump. Each time the rope passes under the feet and you don't trip, that's one completed rep.
3. 3
   Single unders are a great movement to incorporate into HIIT-style workouts. See how many single unders you can complete without tripping. Or set a timer for a minute and see how many completed reps you can get within that time period.
