Not sure whatās going on but my calories burned are wayyyyy less than what Dan Witmer shows after a workout. Like 300+ calories difference.
Heavy program month 2 week 2 day 5 done . Tomorrow recovery day
Hey gang. Currently working on a JRD ācurriculumā or methodology (however you wanna call it). My basic idea of what it means to be jump rope fit or the characteristics that embody a jump rope dude or dudette. Training things like can you do 50 double unders in a row? Can you skip for 5 straight minutes without messing up? Can you go 2 min with the 1lb rope? etc. Goals for ppl to strive towards similar to getting āJRD certifiedā. Just wanted to let you guys know first, prob wonāt be ready for another 2-3 months ha just pumped on it and wanted to share. We will obviously continue making programs for the app but I feel itās good to create a standard or benchmark for what I think you should try and shoot for on your weight loss / fitness / jump rope journey. I want people to lose weight and get fit, thatās cool, but I also really want ppl to feel more athletic and capable regardless of your age. More to come. All comments and feedback welcome of course. Thanks for supporting and #doingthething
Youāre going to hear me talk abt these 10 things over and over again. Most of them youāve heard us talking about for years but trying to be even more specific and direct. If you can master all or most of these things itās going to give you pretty much 90-95% of your results. Everything else is just fancy fitness marketing. Comment and letās chat.

-bodyweight exercises (push-ups / pull-ups) to build muscle / increase metabolism

EAT
-fats, carbs, protein are all important / common sense diet
-fasting most of morning (or just making sure you keep within your calorie amount)
-count calories at first until you understand
-being able to cook 5-10 delicious meals will make getting lean much easier

Remember, consistency is key. Doing part of a workout is a whole lot better than doing nothing at all. Keep pushing, it's a marathon, not a sprint...Ā
Let's DO THE THING! šŖĀ
90 Day ProgramĀ diary from a man out of shape.
Week 2 day 5
Where do I begin. I started the first cycle of the ladder with a half a pound. By the end, I was already dead. Decided to do the next two cycles with a quarter pound made. It had the brain idea to do the last cycle with half pound again Ended up skipping (pun intended)a lot of seconds.
This one was a killer, but survived to jump another day.
Today is my cheat day also. Going to have an original Margarita Napoleon pizza for lunch and tonight going to the movies and indulge myself to some popcorn. Please donāt judge I need it.š
Tomorrow rest day. Maybe just do a small three minute workout to practice my sideswipes and my boxer skips. And then Monday we do it all again.
PS. Forgot to say. By the last cycle, the flat of my feet could barely jumpš¤. Ended up using my knees a lot. So now my knees are killing me.
Still doing the thing.
90 Day ProgramĀ diary from a man out of shape.
Week 2 day 2
Today was the only jump 30-10 day.
I feel that if I donāt write this down, I might give up just out of frustration.
Donāt know why it feels like the rope keeps hitting the side of my feet. Will try to take a video tomorrow and upload it. Any advice you might have would be well helpful.
Donāt know about losing weight, but water seems to be seeping out of every poor.
30 min and Iām drenched.
Still doing the thing.
