Love pull-ups Dan! I'd love to see a program that incorporates pull-ups and chin-ups, similar to your dumbell program.

Hi guys and gals! It's been a while since I was active in this community, but I've actually been very active outside of it. I'm proud to say that, thanks to Jump Rope Dudes and the JRD Max program, I've managed to lose 15kg (33lbs).

It all started back in February when I started with one of the beginner programs. I focussed on form, rather than volume, and I also focussed on clean eating. I gradually progressed, and, towards the end of March I decided to start the JRD Max program, which I stuck to it religously, even jumping rope in a hotel gym when I was on holiday! I've not only lost around 6" on my waist, but with all the weight I've lost I've had to just about replace my entire wardrobe. I feel fitter and healther than I've felt in years - something I didn't think I'd feel as a 54 y/o. It feels amazing to be able to walk into a store and buy jeans that fit me right off the shelf!

All I can say is thank you Dan! You kept me motivated throughout the program, and I've hit my goals. I look back to when I started in February, and I remember not being able to jump continuously for more than 20 seconds. Now, after completing JRD Max, I can't believe that I'm able to jump for up to five minutes! Amazing!

One final word: I still have a lot to learn about jumping rope. I did the entire program with just regular bounce and run in place. All those other tricks are on my to-do list, but certainly not necessary in order to achieve your goals.

I can't wait to continue my jump-rope journey and smashing more fitness and lifestyle goals.

So I’m in week 8 of the JRD90 program. I’d love to join Sleigh the Scale, but I want to finish this program first. Will it be available to join in a month’s time?

Nice one, Jack Payne from one Aussie Payne to another! Wouldn’t be surprised if we’re related 😜

Thanks everyone! This community is awesome!

Hi JRD community, I’ve just finished W3D5 of the JRD90 program. I want to be accountable and honest, so I’d greatly appreciate your honest feedback. Don’t be afraid to be brutal!
Firstly, I’m ONLY doing the regular bounce. I can kiiiiinda do the running-in-place variation, but I find that I trip up on the rope too frequently. Also I find it more demanding than regular bounce.
Secondly, although I have a 1/2lb rope I don’t use it nearly as much as my 1/4lb rope.
Thirdly, when it comes to the jump rope ladder workouts, I can’t do the full thing. Let me explain: instead of doing 60s - 50s - 40s - 30s - 20s - 10s - 20s - 30s - 40s - 50s - 60s, the best I can manage for three circuits so far is: 40s - 40s - 40s - 30s - 20s - 10s - 20s - 30s - 40s - 40s - 40s.
Obviously the workouts are only going to get harder from here on out, so should I just continue and do the best I can, or should I only move on when I’m able to to the full workout in its entirety?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi JRD community, this question has probably been asked 1000 times, but what is the general opinion about fat burners? Are they worth it? Do they work? Which ones are the best?
