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)

#DoTheThing

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!
