Hi Joe, good to see ya again

Now that I've previewed the first 3 workouts, I wonder if it should be called the "Get Fit Jump Rope" program instead, hahaha. Since the jump ropes being used are specifically all the ones from the Crossrope "Get Fit" Jump rope bundle 😅

Looking forward to doing these workouts when my knee recovers enough to jump again! They look exactly like what I've been wanting to do after finishing up the JRD Dumbbell program

I was cracking up when Dan accidentally hit his bicycle with the rope a second time ("Don't you dare!"). Just previewing the workouts right now while my knee is healing from injury. I can't wait to jump rope again!

I definitely need to focus a lot more on nutrition than I want to. Good idea

Oh neat, the Get Lean Ropes + calisthenics. I missed having this mix ever since JRD90!

Yay! I'm gonna preview the workouts now!

My name is David, and I have followed the Jump Rope Dudes YouTube channel ever since you guys called yourselves, "Zen Dude Fitness" (before changing your brand name). Back then I was really into HIIT-style workouts, but I never really thought about making Jump Rope a big part of that until stumbling into your channel.

From there, I bought the Shredded Ninja, Swole Samurai, and JRD90 programs. I joined the app when it was launched to gain easier access to workout videos and programs from you guys.

Turning 41 years old this coming week (July 3). I'm jumping rope partly to get back into shape, and to keep away the sorts of aches and pains one can expect from a sedentary middle aged lifestyle 

I’ll be 2/3 of the way through the program I’m on now (Month 2 of 3). Tempted to just skip Month 3 and do the heavy ropes program instead when it drops 😅

Toshio Rahman hi sorry for the late reply. I started off with 15 lbs because that was what Dan was using in his first workouts. I switched to 45 lb kettlebells for certain movements (like squats), but I wouldn’t recommend such a large jump unless you are confident that you can do 3 sets of 10 reps for the exercises at those weights. Keep a pair of lighter weights than that for days like Month 1 Day 1.

My advice is to choose a weight that you can finish 3 sets of 10 reps for each exercise (curls/presses/shoulder raises/squats/lunges/etc). In the case of arm exercises, it’s 10 reps per arm so it’s more like 3 sets of 20 reps total. Also keep in mind that for most of the dumbbell days also include doing jump rope circuits before the dumbbell moves, so your body will be warmed up/tired from jumping rope before the “weight training” parts

Happy birthday Dan! My birthday is next week, so I guess our birthdays are quite close to each others’
