Jump Rope and Dumbbell Program

Month 1 Week 4 Day 1 is Complete!

This is the final time I do this workout for this 12 week schedule, so I tried to bring the intensity with it (especially during the jump rope parts of the circuit).

5 rounds with heavier weights was more than enough to leave me feeling fatigued and good for the day (exercise-wise). Onward to Day 2 tomorrow!

Jump Rope and Dumbbell Month 1 Week 3 Day 5 is complete!

Looks like I have one more week of this before I begin a new week of new workouts!

My body felt fine during the workout (jump rope, DB curls, and 100 push-ups), but the soreness started hitting hours later. I'm going to do a 20 minute recovery/yoga session tomorrow, but otherwise take it as a rest day.

Checking in to keep myself accountable:

JRD Jump Rope and Dumbbell Program Month 1 Week 3 Days 2 and 3 are complete!

I did Day 2 yesterday, but had no time to update. It wasn't anything special...just a Jump Rope "Elongated HIIT" workout again that I made sure to do at as high of an intensity as I could.

Today I did Day 3 for the third time, and my legs felt almost as wiped as they did the first time through even though I used the same weights as the first two weeks 🤔 I hope that doesn't mean my legs will be as sore as they were on Week 1 tomorrow!

I hope everyone else is still on track with their Jump Rope Journeys!

Hi everybody! Late post for the day, but I just wanted to check in to report that I have completed Month 1 Week 3 Day 1 of the "Jump Rope + Dumbbells" program. This will be the second to last time I do this workout for this 12-week run it seems.

Using heavier weights than recommended tires me out faster, but I like feeling exhausted at the end of a workout. Also, I was already sweating like crazy at the end of the second round (out of five total)

JRD Jump Rope and Dumbbell program

Month 1 Week 2 Day 5 complete! This completes the second week of the program, and the first half of Month 1

I am halfway done with Month 1, which means I'll be starting Month 2 in two weeks!

I have to confess that I have always hated doing push-ups, and I still hate doing push-ups. I still do them anyway since it's an effective bodyweight exercise that hits the chest and triceps if I do them the right way and they don't require equipment or very much space.

JRD Jump Rope and Dumbbells Month 1 Week 2 Day 3 is complete!

Last week this workout absolutely destroyed my quadriceps muscles and I spent the day after walking with a limp.

Today the workout was still rough, but I don't think my legs will be feeling too bad despite deciding to stick with the same weights that I used last week (20 KG/44 lbs Kettlebells)

I think I'll stick with these weights for the next two weeks for the Leg Day workout.

JRD Jump Rope + Dumbbells Month 1 Week 2 Day 2 is complete!

Nothing fancy, just went in, #DidTheThing, and went on with the rest of my day. Like Dan says in the video, "It's like Elongated HIIT training", so I just went at it at the highest intensity I could muster.

I hope everyone is also doing well on their journeys!
