I definitely can't do 200 without stopping at the moment. The 6 year old me learnt to do them by jumping off my Granmother's patio onto the lawn. A step down of about 6 inches.

A famous one is called “Annie” and is 50-40-30-20-10 reps of sit ups then double unders. I’ve done it doing “single unders” but I can’t really tick it off until I can sit out doubles. A project for the summer!
