Well done! I highly recommend the Dumbell + Jump Rope program. It's definitely my favourite program of all of the ones I've done so far.

Michal is that your home gym setup in the video? It looks amazing! Looks like a calisthenics dream!

Well done mate! Once the bug has bitten nothing can stop you. It’s an amazing feeling, isn’t it? 7lbs in a month is fantastic, especially if you consider that you’ve probably also put on a bit of muscle from all that calisthenics. If you haven’t already done it, I highly recommend the Dumbbell + Jump Rope program.

This is a journey, and everyone on this journey has had to start with that first step. When I started just over a year ago, my Jump Rope max was only 20 seconds! I remember thinking at the time that there was just no way that I'd ever be able to jump non-stop for more than a minute. As for things like pull-ups, I would highly recommend starting out with a good, thick exercise band. It is very easy to develop medial epycondylitis (golfer's elbow) if you don't give those tendons a chance to strengthen gradually. Otherwise you'll face a very long recovery period! You can also start off with only negative repetitions, which is a great strategy to use in order to build strength quickly. One last tip for pull-ups is to start off with chin-ups instead (palms facing inward). These are slightly easier than pull-ups. Best of luck, and don't ever give up!

Thanks Shameaka! 

No comment, huh? 😜

I'm pretty useless when it comes to those jump rope tricks. Hell, I can't even do Boxer Skip for crying out loud! Regular Bounce and Run in Place is the sum total of my jump rope repertoire! I seriously need to learn Boxer Skip and Fast Skip. After that I'll probably move onto DUs.

I thought that might not be possible. Although I have the AMP handles attached permanently, I only use the AMP app for pure cardio workouts. So I guess it won't kill me to have to tap start and end on the app.

Also, am I correct in saying that your name is pronounced Mee-hau? I assume the ‘ch’ is a hard ‘h’ sound, similar to the way Germans would pronounce ‘ich’, right?
