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!

Hi everyone,

I injured myself again (d'oh)! It wasn't exercise-related either, which is another annoying thing! I tripped on the sidewalk when walking near my house, rolling my ankle while falling and my knee took majority of the impact when my body hit the pavement. At this point it's mostly recovered, but I don't feel comfortable doing any running, jumping, or other high-intensity movements that could stress my knee and ankle.

Looks like I'll be not jumping for a while. At least until I feel confident about jumping without re-injuring my knee and ankle. I'll just preview the new Heavy Rope program's workouts and I'll likely do those when I feel comfortable jumping again.

Yay! I'm gonna preview the workouts now!

Hi everyone,

I am now 60% done with Month 2 Week 3 of the Dumbbell program! Two more workouts to go and I’ll be in my last week

Today I opted to use lighter dumbbells because I feeling REALLY unmotivated to #DoTheThing. It did help me focus more on maintaining good form than when I used heavier weight before, plus my biceps got a surprising amount of burn in the curls portion of the workout.

I’ll try to go back to the weight I was using before in Week 4

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

JRD Month 2 Week 2 is complete!

I didn't post throughout the week because I have been busy, but I'll just say that after finishing half of Month 2 that anyone who isn't used to doing a lot of upper body resistance training will really feel it in the shoulders, arms, and chest on Day 1's workouts.

Also Day 5 is a struggle if you're not used to doing several exercises in a chain/complex without setting the weights down.

Two more weeks until I finish Month 2! I noticed the new "Heavy Jump Rope" program is launching right when I'm scheduled to start Month 3 as well
