Brandon had a dumb bell workout in a gym about 3 years ago. 90 seconds of lifting with 30 seconds jumping. Might have referenced boxing.  

Also, I recommend Dr. Peter Attia’s book “Outlive.”  The only proven way to avoid the”decade of decline” is increasing muscle mass.

I have other music playing to my side and a Noxgear speaker clipped to my waistband playing the exercise. My music is playing louder, but I can still hear the workout.

If you want a full program of different workouts, JRD 90 would be first, then Shredded Ninja second. JRD Max has the advantage of repeating workouts so one can follow improvements. I was not impressed by Swole Samurai.  Seemed too simplistic to me.

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?

I agree. Go slow. The worst thing you can do right now is go too hard and get injured. Six weeks off to heal will not help your fitness. You will do better with a 2 year view, not a couple of months.

My condolences on your loss. It is hard losing your mom. As all my parent’s peers die, we are becoming the elders. It is a responsibility that makes me pause every day. I know you will do your mom proud. Blessings and prayers for your family.

Shredded Ninja was the first full program I completed. It was hard. But so worth doing. JRD 90 is also great. And so far, JRD Max is living up to its name. 

Glad you have joined us in this journey!

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.
