In this video I took on a 30 day jump rope challenge to see how it could transform m VO2 max. I've never taken on a jump rope challenge before, so I was interested in how it could improve my cardio and my overall VO2 max. So hopefully you guys enjoy this skipping 30 day challenge, and hopefully it can help you with your fitness training.
Have a great week guys! Cheers.

My track coach used to always make us jump rope almost more than we would run. I thought it was dumb, however, we where D1 state champions 5 times in a row at that time. A lot of our mile and 2 mile runners got full ride scholarships. I can say from experience I felt the most in shape during that season.

How would a normal week or workout would look like with the jump rope? Is it just substituting recovery runs with jump rope or something similar?

[@resper8804]

@@andresmoreno3132 So all the distance runners would start with a 3-5 mile run while everyone else did strength training. When those runners got back everyone would group up and cycle between doing agility latter's and jump rope. Everyone would probably get a total of 20-30 min of jump rope each in increments of 5 min.

Great job, Aidan. Similar for me; so far I've lost a little over 20 kgs (117.5 down to 97.3) over 3 months with a mixture of skipping, bike riding, kettlebells and club bells, and, most importantly, a more regimented diet with measured portions. Diet is key.

[@adamcasey3365]

@TheOriginal RudeBoy For me, I started off trying to skip in 1 minute intervals (with 30 second breaks) for 5 minutes; now I'm doing 5 minute intervals for 30 minutes. It takes time to build both your cardio and calf strength.

[@antonkaagthorndahl4484]

Bro good job. I'm doing 45 minutes jump rope every day, doing strength training 3-4 times a week, and fencing 2 times a week. I wanna shed off some fat because I've been starting to get more into fitness and health. Also I can't reccomend these meals enough for low calories, high fiber/protein/good fats: Breakfast: Oats with 0.1% milk and raisins. Tastes great, and it's filled with fibers/calcium which keep you full for hours. Lunch: Rye bread with salmon or egg (or both). I eat this almost every day, and again it has a lot if fibers, protein and important fats. Tastes amazing too. Dinner: For dinner I usually try to focus on protein and vegetables, and eat less carbs. Usually some sort of fish/chicken for meat, coleslaw, broccoli, cauliflower, or some form of cabbage. Carbs are usually potatoes, brown rice or something like that, but it usually is only around 20% of my meal. I've been sticking to this 3-meal + wprkout schedlue for 3 months, and already seeing great changes. Some tips I have for people starting out doing this is: 1 Be consistent, or else you won't see change. 2 Cut out any snacking right away, stick to your meal plan 3 Try to do some research, don't just eat salad and think you'll lose fat instantly. And don't eat the same things all the time, change helps you stick to your plan'. 4 Drink lots of water. It boosts your metabolic rate which burns a few more calories a day, prevents bloating, and it's just heslthy overall. Anyway, hope you guys will keep sticking with it (if you read this far, you're a legend btw. Thank you for listening to me.)

I skip 60 minutes a day, every day for the last 3 years. It totally changed my life. I used to be tired just walking the stairs, now I’m not even tired after 30 minutes of skipping.

Skipping is brilliant exercise. Im 44 and sporty all my life. Playing football and going to the gym alot. Was never lean but always close. Anyway I took up skipping 2yrs ago and bought a chin up bar. Ive never been in better shape. Finally got the elusive 6pack that I figured my genetics didnt allow !! Unreal the difference doing those 2 things 3/4 times a week makes. I recently ran a marathon. The skipping made the training for that so much easier coz you get into a rhythm. I skip 1hr when I do it and try to do it 3/4 times a week. Do that for a few months on and then 1 off where I just pig out ... I ended the pig out month yesterday and just did a 1hr 30min skipathon just now. Unreal workout. Cheap and efficient. Highly recommend it.

[@m.s682]

Dang! You jump for 1hr a day that's amazing! I dunno if I could ever do that let alone 30mins 😅 I incorporate jumping in my workouts each day with my 1/2lb rope but still not able to skip for 5mins straight but getting closer each day..I start with a 5min jump before each workout then end with a 10min jump and body ball slams...on days I do arms and abs I add 2min of jumping in between each exercise round then move on to the next set of exercises...this will be week 6

[@TheYoungFilmmaker]

This is awesome Brendan! A super useful skipping skill is to learn how to spin the rope by either side whilst still jumping; and it is really easy to do. When you're getting tired, you can use this to "shake-out" your arms and shoulders, whilst still jumping - and often when you get back into normal position, you'll be more accurate with your jumps, like a mini-reset without actually stopping! It'd also be good to purchase a speed-rope and swap which one you use each day. A speed rope will work out less of your upper body, but will allow you to utilise fast twitch muscles much better and improve your skipping overall. Loved the episode :)

[@colinm366]

Just to add to these tips, your jump rope looked slightly long, which can be solved by tying a knot on either side of the rope by the handles. This shortens the rope, which in turn brings your arms in, which allows you to skip more efficiently thus for longer, more intense periods of time. I hope more ppl get into skipping- It's awesome!

[@AdityaYadav-ku2qx]

Can you elaborate on how to 'spin the rope by either side while still jumping'? Also, I used to jump rope for 30 mins before but now even 5 mins of skipping leads to cramp in the forearm near the elbow. Like he mentioned in the video, 'forearm gets snapped'. Do you know how to avoid this? Thanks in advance

[@GordonGavin]

Very good! Couple tips: 1) You can spare your rope wear & tear by bringing a door mat or carpet mat to skip on. Asphalt and concrete will tear up your rope quickly. 2) Practice double-unders by popping from your ankles with your legs straight. This is much easier and more efficient than doing tuck jumps which are extremely tiring.

As a boxer, can i point out that if you're doubles try this: the second the rope has passed your feet & you deciding to do doubles the next jump instead of jumping vertically do a "light kick forward with bolth feet" and bend slightly forward with your back this way you become smaller and it's easier to do doubles.

With respect, the 400m is an *anareobic* effort, so it's the wrong measure of the effectiveness of a jump rope program. In fairness, you did allude to this at the end of the video.

It's an anaerobic effort for professionals but most average ppl tend to pace themselves as we get tired quicker. So the test and measurements soothe him and average ppl but it is not for professionals.

@@P0YAIS Not how it works. You don't just chop and change, you use energy systems simultaneously and the glycolytic system stays the dominant for intensities that are maintained for up to 2-3 minutes. So really wasn't a good way to test, bleep test makes much more sense

[@thewayofthejumprope]

Interesting experiment! And interestingly, I actually did a somewhat opposite experiment by chance. A good while back, I took a break from jumping rope for an entire month while I completed a challenge which involved running a few miles daily (in addition to certain calisthenics). When I returned to jumping rope, the maximum number of repetitions that I could perform for particular jump rope moves increased substantially. I was blown away by the increase in performance. Not only that, but I fell in love with running and bonuses were the incredible mental benefits I got as a result of running in addition to the physical ones. I ran track and cross country in school and did running as part of various sports, but I didn't run purely for enjoyment. I do now. Since that 'experiment', I've completed several events including an ultra marathon, marathon, and distances in between.

[@garethmorris299]

The problem with bleep and cooper tests which isn’t talked about is that speed isn’t fitness it’s a lot to do with howvyour built.You can’t dissociate someone heavy built with short legs like Rocky marciano(who was a fit man and notably prodigious trainer)from someone built like Steve cram,seb coe,or my favorite runner SteveO v ett.Its like a bike that’s small big wheeled and sturdy,it’s not as fast as a thin large wheeled light racing bike.Our builds are the same ,some are adapted to run faster,doesn’t mean fitter.

Actually that higher heart rate isn't a bad thing, because he was doing cardiovascular training. It tells that before his cardiovascular system was underused. After the training period his cardiovascular system, lungs and muscles are more closer to each other's performance level and also closer to their maximum. In comparison, now that I'm badly out of shape, I can't push my heart rate even close to it's maximum, because my muscles can't produce and sustain the effort required.

Hi ! Been watching your channel for quite some time. Really enjoying watching it. I want to give some advice to measure Vo2 Max. It's called Cooper Test. Basically you run for 12 minutes and measure how many km you achieved. Then you can convert it to vo2 max . I really hope you can use this test in later videos for a good before after comparison.

[@henrywilliams3153]

I got a cross rope and it’s the only jump rope where even when I mess up I never hit my arms or ankles. Worth the cost for that alone.

[@kkcalisthenics3069]

really? because I hate the pain of the rope whipping my forearms, but the problem is the crossrope is very expensive

[@kkcalisthenics3069]

so i don't know if it is worth the price

[@RichPlusHappy]

Rope jumping is probably the most effective training in terms of calorie burn and ease of carrying of the ropes 🔥🔥🔥 Rowing is second best (maybe even better in terms of muscle build) but the machine is huge and you can't carry it...

[@weakboy6871]

Also can literally be free and i think deadlift is better than rowing

[@nikhilramaraju2545]

@@weakboy6871 Trust me when I say rowing is one of the hardest things I've ever done. The workouts test your mental strength of enduring the pain. It got me to a Vo2 max of 75 in just 1.5 years!! (btw I'm 15 years old)

[@weakboy6871]

@@nikhilramaraju2545 thanks for the response maybe im gonna start to rowing im 16 lol

[@SuperMiketron]

Really interesting! I've been meaning to start adding jump-roping to my workout routine. Also have you thought about doing boxing? I think it might be really interesting to see cardio/endurance results from it, since even just punching a heavy bag for a few minutes can be really tiring.

[@Ray-jg5dj]

Sparring is the ultimate endurance test

[@neilmorris1279]

I love ur vids keep it up

[@kurtw531]

I've been skipping a rope for a while. My advice to anyone would be to not completely replace all your other workouts with rope work. Injuries becomes the issue. Avoid the injuries. Confuse the body. Mix it up.

[@EljinRIP]

I'm wondering how accurate that heartrate monitor is. 117bpm after those 20 burpees given how difficult it was for you? Seems a bit low.

[@JamesBrown-hr5qs]

Yeah, there is something off. 157 after a 400 seems low also. If he's breathing hard under 160 his lactate threshold is pretty low. And a resting HR of 60 is relatively high for an athlete. Then to only go from 90 to 117 BPM after 20 burpees, something isn't working right.

[@jacobsanchez6924]

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Definitely not an accurate reading even after that run for an all out effort.

[@batlin]

@Bas Bakker I started using a chest strap a couple of weeks ago and it seems to give roughly the same results as the optical sensor in my Polar Vantage M, except... EXCEPT that the optical sensor seems to have a delay of at least 5-10 seconds, versus maybe 1-2 seconds from the chest strap sensor. I guess the OHR could be totally confused when he was doing burpees though, as it needs to be pretty solid on your wrist.

5:49 the guy is Richard Gere and Harrison Ford at the same time I loved your video. I'm in a weight loss journey while jumping rope and it's very difficult to gain cardio resistance

[@anjalik5038]

I have been rope jumping from last 2 months . It had helped me a lot in losing fat around my stomach area without dieting 😊

[@BillboMC]

can we see a pic of u 4 ish years ago (or whenever u started this excersie yt thing. and a now pic

He will look exactly the same. This guy has to get on TRT absolutely NO progress. Too many soy shakes.

[@strategyknight4820]

@@__-wm9lu Assuming this is a joke comment or the most brain dead comment I have ever seen. Taking TRT when the person goal is to live a healthy life style makes no sense and yes his body would look different because he went from a sedentary lifestyle to a active style so there would be a lower percent of body-fat.

[@MrSquishyCookie]

strategy knight you say active lifestyle. He does a bit every few months. Everything's a short term challenge. He should prep for the MOAB 240 or something where he'd have to train for longer than 30 days 🙄 I've stopped watching as many of these videos because there's a lot of flawed or misrepresentative information and none of the stuff he's doing is beneficial long term because it's done at such a minimal standard. I don't know if it's more or less healthy long term to be this way but it seems that such short term efforts aren't very beneficial at all. Be interesting to see if/how it affects long term health. Would also be very cool to see him spend a year or something dedicated to training for a specific sport as a long form video in addition to the other content

[@haakonlien7107]

[@martintooswoovy573]

You should download interval timer for setting your rounds/circuits. Fighter approved 💯

[@antadesign9307]

Try skipping with a weight vest on those high-intensity days, that should add a new dimension to your training :-)

[@stephentai3730]

9:33 It is natural to land on the lateral side of the foot. It assists in shock absorption. Landing flat is actually unnatural.

[@laalaajonsen]

Hey, got some sources on that?

[@VictorRegouin]

Rope jumping is great! And also a lot of fun because of all the tricks

[@JumpRopeVeteran]

Awesome video. Skipping is rope is a true life hack!

Any excersise is great for burning calories as long as you do one important thing. INTENSITY!!

Started getting a nice boxer like flow ,well for 40 secs then stop ,it’s a really graceful ,fun ,satisfying way to excercise ,it’s cool,5 minutes fair play that’s pretty impressive

ive found when i do incline power walking or skipping to some fastish pace music not only do i not feel like i need to put in as much effort but my running gets better improvements than just running to improve my running
