I Did 30 Minutes of Jump Rope EVERY DAY for 30 Days

[@GoalGuys]

Thanks everyone for watching and all the kind words and support! If you want to see how I'm progressing with jump rope, I recently made a video where I learned one of Floyd Mayweather's Jump Rope routines! One of the hardest things I've ever done, but you can watch it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6rOXmOqn9CVepo

I'm 70 years old and started jumping a few months ago. I don't do the endurance jumping but rather do sets of jumping and relaxing to create a high intensity interval training. I feel fantastic and my body craves the workouts which I do every other day. Body fat is at 13% and my leg muscles are ripped. I want to get into weighted rope soon. Loved this video!!

Jumping rope is definitely my favorite exercise. I typically do 1 minute with 20 seconds of rest, and repeat that 29 times for a total of 30. I used to jump 30 minutes straight, but that got too hard on my feet. That 20 seconds of rest is great for my feet.

Before lockdown I remember seeing a guy at the gym jumping rope and thinking to myself: "I bet that is more difficult then when I was a kid", come lockdown I take it up and yes, it was WAY more difficult, but that is part of the appeal, the satisfaction as you get better is immense. I remember my first 100, my first complete song, working on cross-overs etc. 19 months later I am still loving it and it's still a core part of my workout. Great video, and well done on progress, mastering those tricks and footwork in 30 days is very impressive!! 👍

I started skipping rope for just 10 minutes, at first I was tripping, I didn't have good form. After some days, I built some resistance and I could skip rope for 15 and 20 minutes. My legs became much stronger and I was able to do some tricks after around two months. I recommend having some rest days and also stretching before and after. As you get good, it's a fun exercise.

Another great video. You guys really do a good job of showing what realistic results look like and I liked the test at the end of comparing strength levels. I would love to see a video on the impact of isometric exercises on strength. Since Brendan works out a lot with weights, it would be interesting to see you measure your PR for a few different lifts before doing 30 days of only isometrics and what it looks like afterwards. Considering isometrics are really space efficient, beginner friendly and require pretty much no equipment, if you were able to get very good results from only doing isometrics, it would probably appeal to more people who are starting their fitness journey.

[@KellyRobinette]

When I first started with the Crossropes, I looked like someone had put to the whipping post. My legs and arms looked awful, but the worst was when I whipped my back. Sweat soaked t-shirt and that 1/4lb rope whipped me from shoulder to hip across my back. Wow! That hurt! When I started going up through the heavier ropes, I didn’t get whipped as much but my finger looked just like yours. But now, 3 years later, I’m pretty good with them. Good work!

[@kyrongray5965]

My go to cardio is jump rope. It's the best. It is hard at first but as long as you build yourself up incrementally over time you'll be smashing it very quickly. I use the same speed rope and its awesome. Always stretch out before and after, particularly calf muscles. Can't emphasize this enough. It makes a huge difference. I use a tabata timer app which as a beginner was 30 seconds jumping, 15 seconds rest. That built me up to where I now do 3.5min sprints with the rope combined with other HIIT routines and core work melded into a 1hr workout. Jump rope is always the foundation to keeping my heart rate high in between every set. Have never felt so fit and I don't have to leave my house!

[@ted.angell7609]

Yes. It’s important to temper your enthusiasm and take it in small increments. I learned to stop and stretch after the first 20 skips, then after the next 20, three or four times. Your strength grows during rests, not during challenges, and you don’t get ahead by trying to do too much too soon.

When I started jump rope, I discovered that I get “runner’s high” which made me euphoric but also led to near disaster - I could do 45 minute sessions straight off the bat (with water breaks, I’m not a freak of nature lol). Turns out doing 45 minutes daily straight away is a *very bad idea!* The runner’s high was masking any pain and on week two, I suddenly realised I’d totally wrecked my knee by jumping for too long, too soon, on concrete, without a mat. Had to have two weeks with no jumping which was really frustrating. I think all the “I did the jump rope challenge for two weeks!” videos on here of people sailing through it with no bother led me to think it was a good idea to do it every day like that from beginner level. Barely any of those videos show what it’s actually like, but yours does and I’m so glad! No one shows getting whipped by the rope for example (I eventually started using cycling gloves because I kept whipping my hand which freaking HURT). This is a much more realistic portrayal because it shows the good with the bad. Thank you for not sugar coating the beginning stages and giving people the impression it’s easy or that you should just “man up” and push through every day. There’s a sensible way to go about it and it’s not by doing what I did, in a misguided attempt to be “consistent” like all the other videos show, when they’re failing to talk about the importance of rest and the risk of overuse injuries.

I can’t believe this comment doesn’t have any likes. Yes, ease your way into it. Trying to do too much to soon will just lead you into setbacks as you strain and injure yourself without realizing it at first. Honestly, though I applaud what the guy in the video accomplished, I don’t think most people should emulate his crash-course pace; a beginner should have a couple of rest/recovery days per week.

Good challenge and good video. Would've been nice if you shown your recovery routine in more detail. I'm actually surprised you didn't suffer any sort of leg pain (i.e. knee/ankle pain, shin splints etc), from day one through to day 30.

Amazing video! I cheered for you when you kept going past 2 minutes. You earned it and you deserved the victory.
