Double Unders (or tuck jumps- NO singles!)
Situps (your choice- GHD or abmat or some combination thereof)
+47 pushups.
Pushups got you down? Hey- we're almost half way there!!! Good stuff, right?
A couple of words about double unders...they are hard. OK, that was 3 words. But they are a lot about technique. Don't have your double under yet? Here are a few tips: get good at regular jump roping first (if you can't do singles, you sure as heck can't do doubles); jump a few singles, then try a double (don't try a double from a stand still when you're learning-- you'll never get it); after you've got one, just keep practicing (do a few singles, then a double, then continue into singles, etc. etc.). While you're learning, if the rope makes it 3x around, that counts as one (provided you're jumping high and putting some effort in). If you just can't do 'em, tuck jumps are the way to go- you'll be doing the same amount of work and intensity, you just won't be getting the agility component of the workout.
Here, Vic demonstrates that it is possible to simultaneously kick your own ass and encourage someone else to kick their own. Don't forget to pass on a few words of encouragement to your fellow Crossfitters today!
