There is the 7-day beginner that might do it for you, or you could start with doing the daily workouts 2-3 times per week.

Haven’t ever seen this, and I recon I do my fair of gadget hunting 🙂 not to say it’s not out there.. but as Sean said I would use your phone, all have some sort of timer to use or you can get some advanced timers and build workouts into them..

Decide what is most important to you in this period of the year.

Maybe it is being social, but if its getting progress on your jump rope goals? You might wanna put it in your calendar or maybe get it done in the AM to ensure you have the energy and you know it gives you energy for the rest of the day 😉

You do not need to go low carb but keeping a consistent ratio of fats, protein, and carbohydrates makes it easier to track you progress.

And ass Steve said you could be gaining muscle mass, which while leaning out will keep (or increase) your weight. Here using a simple measuring tape to track your waist circumference, will show if you are loosing fat and gaining muscle (body re-composition).

As Douglas Stewart said your weight will fluctuate from day to day, and even through out the day. So to get the best data you need to weigh yourself on the same time every time (e.g. in the morning after you use the bathroom).

I would suggest to weigh yourself everyday 5 or 7 days a week. Then every week remove the 2 or 3 highest and lowest (depending on the number of data points) and that's your weekly median weight. Then track this on a weekly basis and you will have the "best" way to track your progress.

If you still see your weight increase maybe you should lookin to how you track, maybe you get in some additional calories you don't think about. You could start taking a picture on your phone along the tracking app, then you should fairly quickly see if you track every thing (remember liquid calories count as well).

Further you might want to look in to that you eat, as every carbohydrate holds on to 3-4g of water so if you get 300g of carb that's an additional 900-1200g of water..

Hey, lots of great advice already 👍🏻

One thing they haven't touched on (maybe a bit from Steve) but you might benefit from getting into some stretching AFTER your jump rope session where some passive stretching of 1 to 1,5 minute per leg could help.

Or maybe its your own beliefs that's holding you back, do you believe you can do more weekly sessions? Not suggesting this as a main fixer but pushing through might get you to that next level 🤷🏻
