How to learn double unders with a jump rope
Getting the rope under your feet twice in one jump. The setup and drills that unlock the movement.
Walking is real training (and not just for beginners)
Accessible, low-impact and useful at every level. How to turn walking into a proper workout.
People tend to underestimate walking because it's simple. Yet it's a great complement to lifting, running and WODs, and an ideal way back into exercise.
Why walk
- It adds movement without adding fatigue.
- It's perfect for recovery days.
- You can do it anywhere, with no equipment, at any age.
Make it a workout
- Brisk walk: 30 to 45 minutes at a pace where you breathe harder without getting out of breath.
- Hill walk: repeated climbs to work your quads and glutes.
- Long walk: 10 km on the weekend, at your own pace.
Progress
Increase duration first, then pace, then elevation. Walking more often counts as much as walking longer.
Volta has walking workouts, from recovery walks to long outings, and tracks your distance with GPS. On rest days, the app suggests a short one rather than nothing at all.
