Unbroken Double Unders

Just in case any of you wondered what 1,434 unbroken double unders in ten minutes looks like:  

Sometimes people ask us "why do we do double unders anyway?"  While the movement may seem silly to a casual observer, it's safe to say that this one single movement checks at least five of the ten recognized fitness domain boxes (items 6-10 anyone?), which is pretty powerful stuff for something as (seemingly) simple as jumping rope:

  1. Cardiovascular and Respiratory Endurance
  2. Stamina
  3. Strength
  4. Flexibility
  5. Power
  6. Speed
  7. Coordination
  8. Agility
  9. Balance
  10. Accuracy

And when you're doing 1,434 unbroken reps I think it's also safe to say that items 1 and 2 are in play as well, heh.
