Ok, so I did my first 4K with my shiny new Amp handles. As I predicted, I'm way slower than I thought. But that's ok, as long as I #DOTHETHING, right?

Yeah, I did that last week, and it worked well, but there's no way of telling how many skips I actually did. I know I'm not as fast as you, Dan, so I probably didn't quite hit the target.

What tracker is that, Aletta?

Thanks Shameaka. I must be really dumb because I’ve never been able to figure out how to cast from my phone to a TV.

Hi Guys, for those of you elite athletes who are following (or have followed in the past) a program that requires Amp handles, such as the Jump Rope + Dumbell program, I'm curious to know how you approached that particular exercise. 

I decided to go ahead and buy a pair of Amp handles, which arrived today. I usually have the specific workout video playing on my phone, while I follow along, trying desperately to keep up with our fearless and intrepid leader, Dan the Man! I'm thinking that might not be possible if I'm also trying to track the number of skips with my Amp app running. So I figured I'd just only use the Amp app for those particular workouts (e.g. 4k Skips) and not worry about following along with Dan.

Am I overthinking this? 🤯

It’s 5:45am here in Brisbane, and I’m about 15 minutes away from smashing out M2W2D3 of the Dumbbell + Jump Rope program. Feeling really motivated this morning! Wherever you are in the world, hope you have (or had) an amazing day!

I have a Crossrope mat, which came with a strap but no bag. My rope does have a bag though. I generally don’t need to transport either, though, as I do all my workouts from home.

Dan Witmer can we expect a dedicated pull-ups + jump rope program any time soon? 🙏🤞🙄

Hi guys, this question has probably been asked a thousand times, but I’ll ask it again. In terms of weekly training frequency, is six times per week considered excessive? I’m currently doing the Dumbbell + Jump Rope program, and I’m considering adding another day’s cardio. Rest is obviously important in any training program, so I’m wondering whether one day’s rest per week is enough?
