5,000 skips in just under 40 minutes, pausing every 1,000 skips to do some ab work. 3,000 with the 1/4, 1,000 with the 1/2, and 1,000 with the 1-pounder. Crushing sets of about 140 skips each round on the 1-pounder when I used to not be able to get 100 at a time. Feels good! Let’s gooooooo 💪💪

Been going rogue and making up my own workouts for a bit. Today 2,500 skips with the 1/4, 1,500 with the 1/2, and 1,000 with the 1-pounder. Took 43 minutes and also did some abs. Let’s get it!

Spinning the rope is still aggravating my right upper arm, whereas straight-up strength stuff seems fine. So once again made up my own workout: Circuits of 10 push-ups, 25 jumping jacks, 5 burpees, 10 crunches, and 10 bicep curls each arm with a 15-pound weight. I planned to do this 20 times, but only did it 10 and it freaking killed me lol. It took me just over 30 minutes to complete 10 circuits. Those burpees. Only 5 each time but they kill me! Will be coming back to this to improve upon it!

Unless someone else has found a workaround, which is possible, you have to use the AMP handles on one device and the JRD app on another. So if I'm at home, I run the JRD workout on a laptop and connect my AMP to my phone. But if you're in the park or something, that's not workable and so I just choose one or the other.

Just did it! Have also been managing to walk or run at least 4 miles in the afternoons while work has been a little slower than usual. Feeling good!

I did something weird to my right upper arm where spinning the rope is aggravating it. But one of the many things I love about having learned about fitness from Dan here is that I now know how to simply adapt. So today I made up my own workout and did an EMOM for 30 minutes. 15 jumping jacks, 5 push-ups, and 5 ab crunchers or 10 bicycle crunches. Was a great workout, and didn't mess with my arm while I let it get better and get back to jumping. Will try to go for a 4-mile walk later if I can too. Let's get it, peeps!

What Kari said! I used to struggle to do sets longer than 30 seconds with the 1/2-pounder. Just keep trying and you’ll improve a tiny bit every time. 😃😃

First time doing M2D4 of heavy ropes. (Am I crazy or does Month 2 seem a lot easier than Month 1?) Today's workout was 4,000 skips with Dan with the quarter-pounder. I just turned on my amp and jumped at my own pace along with the video and ended up at 5,500 skips, which I was pretty darn happy about. Feeling super sweaty and strong. Let's get it, friends!

First time doing M2D1 of heavy ropes. Felt good to be able to crush the jump rope sets and push ups but only got 300 skips with the 2-pounder. I’ll do better next week but that thing is a beast. Crushing with the 1-pounder though now like it’s no biggie. Very fun. (And so many choice comments in this one from Dan Witmer that made me laugh. Love it!)
