JRD Jump Rope and Dumbbells Month 1 Week 1 Day 4 is done!

My quads are still sore from the last workout I did two days ago. I took yesterday off as a rest day due to leg soreness and work/life issue.

Because of that, I mostly stuck to Regular Bounce and Boxer Skip with a little bit of run in place for today’s “Jump Rope Only” workout.

Month 1 Week 1 Day 3 of the JRD Jump Rope and Dumb bells is done. My quads are fried, and turned to jello during the “cool down” jump rope section of the workout.

Today, I thought I’d try using heavier weights (and more specifically kettlebells because I am more used to squatting with kettlebells than I am with dumb bells)

Attached is a short video clip of me struggling (and failing) to match Dan’s pace during the “thrusters” (“squats with press”) section of the workout 😅 I’m using double 20 KG (44 lbs each/88 lbs total) kettlebells for this one. Yeah, I think I’m going with a lower weight next time…

JRD Jump Rope + Dumb bell program, Month 1 Week 1 Day 2 is done! I’ve done this workout many times already (when I was doing JRD MAX), so not much to say other than I miss doing jump rope workouts in general.

Sweaty post-workout selfie as proof that I exhausted myself 😅

Howdy folks! I know I’m a sporadic poster here, but I am still using the JRD app for all my jump rope-related workouts.

It’s been a while since I’ve done a full JRD workout program, though and I never really did the Dumb bell one (only picked workouts from it here and there to mix with my kettlebell workouts)

That changes today! I started with Month 1 Day 1 with a pair of 15 lb dumbbells and my trusty 1/4 lb Crossrope. The weights felt a little too light until I reached the 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounds though. I think I’ll go a little heavier next time 😁
