Got my 10 minutes done on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. I plan to keep it at 10 minutes for this week, too. Though going forward, I plan on jumping rope on a M-W-Sat Schedule. Fridays will be difficult to do for the next few weeks, but I’ll still be keeping 3 set days during the week to get the thing done.

I was able to do some jump rope on a M-W-F schedule last week. That was my first M-W-F. Though they were all 5 minutes, I think it’s a small victory and a good stepping stone towards consistency. I’m aiming to do workouts on a M-W-F schedule for a while until I’m more advanced.

This week, I’ll see if I can get 10 minute workouts done. Got my 10 minutes done today. I’ll be aiming to do this again on Wednesday and Friday of this week.

It’s been a while since I last posted, though I’ve only posted 3 times so far. I originally was jumping every other day and posting about it, but I did have to take time off because I got sick. Maybe I took a bit more time than necessary, but I got back to jumping last week.

I did one of the beginner workouts from the ad-free YouTube workouts here on JRD TV. Up until then, I had only been jumping. But I tried a beginner workout with bodyweight exercises, and that’s been an experience, to say the least, especially the push-ups, even though I’ve been doing them kneeling.

I did pure jump rope for today. Well, I tried doing push-ups but it seems my arms need more than a day to recover from those. I hope I get to the point where a day without push-ups will be all I need to recover from a workout day with push-ups.

Again, 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off with the 1lb rope, though today’s session was a bit shorter from the 5-minutes I’ve done before. Though it happens to look more like a “proper” 4-minute Tabata circuit, at least.

I was looking for more intensity today, and I’d say I found it. My arms fatigued more quickly today and I stopped after 8 repetitions today, short of the 10 I’ve done Saturday and Monday. It’s a bit blurry to me, though, whether it really was just today’s intensity or if some lingering fatigue from Monday’s session also had to do with it. At least I can say I did something today.

I also felt my arms shaking a bit after. That a first in these recent days.

Did 10 repetitions of 20 second on, 10 seconds rest with the 1lb rope, just like two days ago. I went a little more intense today and my hands felt it today more than they did last time.

This is my first post. I've been on here for a while, though right now I'm having trouble with consistency. I intend to use the community tab to keep me accountable and built that consistency. Right now, I'm aiming to do at least something every other day. So I hope to be logging my activity here at that rate.

Today, I did 10 sets of 20 second intervals using the 1 pound rope with 10 second rest periods. (5 minutes.) Essentially a tabata circuit and then some.

I'll be looking to build up to longer workouts and workouts on consecutive days.
