Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I can do double unders due to muscle memory. Learnt to do them as a a child. I definitely can't do 200 without stopping at the moment. The 6 year old me learnt to do them by jumping off my Granmother's patio onto the lawn. A step down of about 6 inches.

They are a staple of the cardio elements of CrossFit. There are various set workouts that include “double unders”. A famous one is called “Annie” and is 50-40-30-20-10 reps of sit ups then double unders. I’ve done it doing “single unders” but I can’t really tick it off until I can sit out doubles.

A project for the summer!

Well I've got no further with double unders but this morning I managed 528 unbroken singles, which isn't too bad.

My calves are on fire now but that’s a secondary concern isn’t it?😬
