Haha, just kidding! I'm almost done with Month 2, Week 2 of the JRD MAX program. The workouts felt less grueling to plow through compared to Week 1, except for the EMOM (that's 210 double unders, 420 run in place steps, and 210 jumping jacks all together!). My legs were still sore after Day 1, but I didn't suffer the DOMS over 3 days like last week (it was only one day instead this week).

Congratulations! Get that rest in ;)

Same deal with me, Joe (I just did Week 2, Day 1 today). I think it's a good sign that it's not as tough as the first time through. Hopefully it also means the legs won't be as sore tomorrow :)

Been a while since I last did an EMOM workout. I wasn’t expecting this one to go 20+ minutes (not including the 45/15 freestyle jumping before it). I started tripping on the rope doing double unders around halfway through and had to slow down my tempo in order to avoid mess ups. Normally I try to go through an EMOM sequence as fast as possible so that I have more rest within each minute.

I just started Month 2 this week. I wasn’t expecting the DOMS (Delayed-Onset Muscle Soreness) from the first workout to last for 3 days 😅Those jump squats and lunges killed my legs more than expected

I didn’t do them both in one day 😂 I just forgot to mention that I did Day 2 yesterday. And as often happens when I do these workouts, they look easy on paper…then I do them and get exhausted! In yesterday’s case, I gassed out before 2.5 minutes into the workout 😅

Today was Day 3, and just 3 circuits (before the pull-ups/chin-ups) was enough to tire me out too 😅

Always great to see progress in other areas with jump rope training 💪

I could not resist! I really really wanted to do another Jump Rope workout today, so I went ahead and started up the first day of Month 2! It turned out to be a real killer. I was wondering if I could make it through the entire thing once I got to the leg portion of the workout (jumping squats + jumping lunges), haha...my legs are going to feel it tomorrow for sure.

Also, I think part of the reason I got so exhausted was due to the jump rope portion. I do my jump rope workouts outdoors and a little boy saw me today. He cheered me on. So, I decided to add in a few tricks like double unders and criss crosses to impress him, though he was still amazed that I could Boxer Skip for 30 seconds without stopping.

Not today specifically, but I've had issues with it over the past couple of weeks myself, yes
