Dan, have you thought of resurrecting a workout that Brandon did years ago. I found my card with the lifts. The workout had 90 seconds to do the lift and 30 seconds of rope jumping between. I vaguely remember Brandon being in a gym for the video. 

I think if you do a kettlebell workout, this type of format might work better than 30 seconds on and 10 seconds rest.

The samples of the heavy rope program on YouTube have been great. Very challenging to use the 2 pound rope after not using it for a few months. Runs my heart rate into the 160’s.  Will be glad the ads won’t come in the middle of a set.

My membership is set to renew on December 29. I have a valid credit card listed. Will the renewal happen automatically? Or will I need to contact you?

Do any of the workouts target increasing VO2 max? My Garmin watch calculates VO2 max, but I don’t know what parameters it uses. I don’t even know if it counts the jumps. I use the cardio setting. 

If I get the Amp handles, do I need a Crossrope subscription, also? Does the Crossrope app calculate VO2max?

The last few workouts, my thoughts have been grinding. What came out is a suggestion for a workout series for days we don’t have time. Have workouts lasting 5, 10 and 15 minutes. Get creative. Maybe go 5 minutes straight with Dan mixing up different skills. Or 5 minute HIIT using the 2 pound rope. One of the workout in JRD Max already has a 15 minute(+/-) of jumping without a prolonged rest period. Make short, but sweet(?) workouts for days I don’t have time.  Maybe call it “I don’t have time today” workouts. I am sure the community could make suggestions.

The workouts may never get used, but the exercise in creativity making these workouts can be incorporated into other workout programs. 

Some feedback, the JRD Max workouts for the first month are very balanced. The format allows all levels to push themselves. I like the follow along format. The warm up is good. I do incorporate single leg swings and hanging from my chin up bar and stretch on my own afterward. I have found sitting in my homemade near infrared light hut very beneficial for recovery.

I have a suggestion for a lunge variation. Keeping one foot planted, do a front lunge, then with the same leg do a back lunge. Keep moving the same leg from a front lunge to a back lunge. I did the first time with my right foot traveling and my left foot stationary. The next set I switched to my left foot traveling and my right foot stationary.

Todays WOD worked well for this since front lunges followed rear lunges. I simply did one leg for the first set then the other for the second. I could have just as easily done 15 seconds each side and switched.

AMP

Is Crossrope sharing the AMP information needed for JRD tv to use the features? Or is this proprietary at this time?
