[@elsjebloem]

Whoooohoooo! Started 2 weeks ago after watching your videos. Rain, snow, sun I had it all, but I love this as an outdoor routine. Coming from a cancerjourney, this really helps me on my way to a life after cancer. Thank you guys! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@arleyrivas9963]

1 year later how are you doing with the routine?

[@DALECHAN]

Yes how are you?? I just started today🖤

[@hunterstorm6981]

Hope you're doing well man

[@TheMarcioChannel]

10 rotations forward/backward 10 presses in/out 10 wrist pronated extensions 30s reverse wrist extension 30s feet kneeling stretch 30s heel walks 30s jumping jacks 15 bw squats 30s boxer skips

[@persiancat1597]

Thank you

[@satyamagarwal2475]

I completed 5k skips today. It took around 45 mins(including the breaks). It's funny, how I started with 100 skips and never thought I would be able to reach this far. This small achievements give immense happiness. Next milestone:- 5k under 30 mins. Thanks for guiding always. Keep motivating, keep inspiring.👍

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Proud of you dude!

[@preciousnotico]

Thank you so much for the work you guys do. Jumping rope has changed my life. I have been jumping rope consistently since the beginning of the year at first I did 5 times a week using the 30 min workouts. It was no surprise I my legs gave in about 2 weeks in. I had extreme shin splits, I took a break for a day or 2 and came back to do 3 times a week. I still felt pain but endured until I got into it again. This week I started using a heavy rope, it's about 2.5 lbs and boy oh boy my arms were on fire. It's the challenge I need because I was getting too comfortable with regular rope.

[@themonkeygodgoku4620]

Thanks to Jump Rope Dudes for guiding me through my jumping rope journey. Seeing development in my body by jumping rope for 2 weeks after getting injured because I overworked myself when I first tried it. Now, I do it every other day, and also in calorie deficit. I'm also increasing my intensity each week.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

So happy to hear you're seeing the results dude!! Keep doing the thing!

Started five days ago ... a little frustrated by how many stops I have, but I am hopeful that your rope length guide will help, I was over a foot too long.

[@dprtmaa]

This video really motivated me to get started. I am 17 years old, my weight is 96 kg (211lb) and my height is around 166cm (5'4). But sometimes I'm so afraid of not getting any result from the jump rope that I do.

[@phaniwaffles3066]

Any results?

[@itachiuchiha-jh9vn]

You are guaranteed to get no results from doing nothing . Get after it and be consistent you got this

[@xinalorreen2031]

As long as you keep doing it, you will get results. No way can a body do this kind of workout consistently and have nothing to show for it. I'm just starting, not to lose weight, but to fend off a sedentary lifestyle. Even if all I get is the endorphins from exercise, my face will show more happiness. Do the thing.

[@lonewolf1979gmail]

Just ordered my first crossrope! I've been using a high-end rope, but I'm tired of the PVC coated metal cable tangling and tripping me up when trying to do tricks. I can't wait to try these!

[@strixt]

Did you get them yet? If so, how are they?

[@lonewolf1979gmail]

@@strixt I'm mixed on them. The quality and material is great. It never gets tangled up when doing cross-overs and stuff like my other one does. I'm mostly unhappy with the lengths and inability to make any sort of micro adjustments (for example cutting the cable to the correct length like most others can do). I got the length recommended for my height which was WAY too long to jump well with. I traded it in for one size smaller, which is workable but still not quite right. For the price of these things they really need to work in a way to adjust the length for a more accurate fit. It's a shame they don't because it's a great rope otherwise.

[@strixt]

@@lonewolf1979gmail Awesome, thank you for replying! Sadly, that's been my biggest hesitation in getting the crossrope. I'm right at 6'2 so they say I should do the XL, but the 9' I have right now is only *slightly* short, definitely not 6" too short. My current one is definitely usable, so I guess I'll stick with it until I can find something else. Thank you again for the reply, I really appreciate it!

I’ve noticed that I do a double jump, as a complete beginner and going pretty slow is it best to start of slow and time it so I’m doing one slower jump or try to get the rope going fast enough so There’s no time to double jump

Hi, thanks for you great video, I want to ask about METs, I tried to find Mets for different skipping speeds but for 120-160 skips is regard as the same in most websites I found, cuz I skip at a pace of around 180/min for an hour so I wanna ask is there anyway to have a more ccurate estimation on the calories I burn for my work out?

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Calorie burn varies so much from one person to the next (height, weight, heart rate, rope type, etc). Bring the intensity, and a high calorie burn will follow! We do love the whoop to track our calories burned!

(posted this also on another of your vids, just in case). Love your channel; very helpful. Question: I’m a bit past a beginner…not much, but I keep at it. I’m having a problem with the achilles tendon on my left leg. It gets strained by jumping rope (nothing else), and can become painful, which is discouraging. I stretch it for about 20 minutes before jumping, slow methodical stretches, but there’s still an irritation issue. I don’t want to give up jumping because of it. Any advice? thanks so much for your channel! regards;…

Hi I struggle with sore knees and have a slight scoliosis of the lower spine. I have started my menopause and the weight has crept on. I am 5ft 10 tall and weigh approx 12 stone 😢 I want to start skipping and have watched all your beginner videos. Would you recommend this type of exercise? I am generally fit and have an active life. I work at school all day and have 3 dogs I exercise regularly. I eat healthily etc is skipping okay to do? Thank you 😊

[@JumpRopeDudes]

I hope so! Check with your doc because of your scoliosis, and you'll have to start slow. 3-5 minutes at a time, add it to your workout. Once your body adapts you can add more time. patience and practice, you got this! do the thing! 💪🏻

For those people who havent go gym or physical active will need weight rope. Otherwise, speed rope will be alright as u adopt to it other than changing from weight then moving to speed rope makes it more challenging. Just my opinion.

Now every time i move my knee hurt in the back of the knee and in the front if put my hand to feel the movement i feel like click sound. I putting cold treatment and and later a bit of warm pad.

[@Tdub0911]

Should I be doing this 7 day challenge before I've even gotten my form down? I'm starting at absolute zero, still tripping, etc and found these side to side, run in place, hop back and forth and the others kind of complicated because my mind is still focusing on trying to just get a simple skip down as well as the length of time because I get gassed? Also, I watched a different video (not sure which one though) where it was said to do a 20sec on-10sec break, 20sec on-10sec break up to five minutes. Where can I find that one to start with that I can follow along with? I did solve my double jump/skip by going faster so the rope came around in time to only do a simple hop.

Would it be better to just do the jumps? As in without the rope? Because I just can't jump the rope more than once without stepping on the rope and nothing is really working. I imagine the difference is just the rope? I would still be doing the jumps.
