The month of June we will add Double Unders to the skills list. As you have already noticed, there has been quite a bit of skipping already and this will continue, to give everyone a good chance of getting double unders. There has already been a few of you who have gotten their first ever double unders which is awesome.
Thanks to Shez for bringing in some cool new skipping ropes for you to use:))
A couple of important points to add are:
First: The good thing about this skill is you can help yourself out by getting your own rope and start practicing outside class time. It won’t take much time to get a little practice in and all you need is a rope. The nature of the exercise also means we can add some to most sessions either in warm up, as part of a skill segment or in a wod. It will take you less time to recover as well which means you don’t have to worry about over training like for example pull ups or TTB.
Second: With all the jumping you are doing this month we recommend you spend extra time on Calf and Achilles stretching. It will be very important as they can get really tight with a lot of jumping. You would have already seen that as we have been doing a lot of calf and achillis stretching is class warm ups. This isn’t always because of what you are about to do in class, but just as much about us making sure you get extra stretching in if we did a lot of jumping the day before. We have plenty of foam rollers as well you can use to massage out your calves to prevent them from getting to tight.
