Hi JRD community, I’ve just finished W3D5 of the JRD90 program. I want to be accountable and honest, so I’d greatly appreciate your honest feedback. Don’t be afraid to be brutal!
Firstly, I’m ONLY doing the regular bounce. I can kiiiiinda do the running-in-place variation, but I find that I trip up on the rope too frequently. Also I find it more demanding than regular bounce.
Secondly, although I have a 1/2lb rope I don’t use it nearly as much as my 1/4lb rope.
Thirdly, when it comes to the jump rope ladder workouts, I can’t do the full thing. Let me explain: instead of doing 60s - 50s - 40s - 30s - 20s - 10s - 20s - 30s - 40s - 50s - 60s, the best I can manage for three circuits so far is: 40s - 40s - 40s - 30s - 20s - 10s - 20s - 30s - 40s - 40s - 40s.
Obviously the workouts are only going to get harder from here on out, so should I just continue and do the best I can, or should I only move on when I’m able to to the full workout in its entirety?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
