Can’t do Double Unders? Here’s an alternative movement that is just as effective.
In many of the HI-JRT Fitness workouts I recommend doing Double Unders because they intensify the workout and keep your heart rate in the target fat burning zone.
However, for some of you Double Unders may not be an option. Either you have not figured out how to do them efficiently, or perhaps you have knee or ankle issues that won’t allow it.
So, to intensify the HI-JRT Fitness workouts without doing Double Unders, I suggest doing a modified version of the Run In Place jump.
In this jump you will run in place, but bring your knees up a little higher than usual, but not as high as you would for High Knees. You will also increase the speed of the rope.
This allows you to keep your heart rate up in your fat burning target zone throughout the entire workout. But this jump has less impact and creates less frustration than you may get from trying to do double unders.
