Double Under Tips!

Double unders are a tough and often frustrating skill. Master them and you can cruise through big sets with minimal fatigue... struggle with them and your wod times will balloon and you'll tax your shoulders, legs, and breathing to the max.

There are a lot of Double under tutorials out there, and most of them have similar tips. This video below from multiple CrossFit Games athlete Cole Sager covers a lot of the positional skills of the double under to maximize your efficiency. Check it out and put these skills to use in the Friday/Saturday wod!
