50-40-30-20-10 Double Unders & Sit-Ups from National WOD

Here are the first two rounds of today's WOD from CrossFit.com. 50-40-30-20-10 double-unders (where the rope goes under twice for each jump) and sit-ups. I have a bit of trouble hitting my stride at the beginning, but at 2:45 you can see a good example of double-under technique, with (I think) 24 in a row. Total time was 7:29.

Little better example of Double-unders: 35 in a row:

The keys to double-unders (besides practice) are hand speed, not jumping too high and keeping upright.
