It’s been a part of my life for 13 years now and I would choose it over anything else out there. Especially heavy ropes that is where the gold is.

The best fitness tool on the planet

[@kostar500]

You made me remember i havent tried that heavy rope that i kept in the storeroom

The dopamine rush I get from jumping rope is what got me hooked. I also look at jump rope as one of my creative outlets or hobbies, which allows me to look forward to my workouts rather than dreading it. I started about 2 years ago and I’m thankful for all the tips this channel has provided me along the way.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Appreciate that glad you found jump rope 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@CT-pv9gu]

There’s something about jump rope/skipping that is so much better than any other exercise. It’s quick, effective, easy when you get the hang of it, portable, cheap, the mental benefits are insane - it’s like you get smarter. So glad I do it, partly down to you my dude!

[@JumpRopeDudes]

that's awesome to hear, thanks for the comment

[@Noah-zq8cb]

I love your videos Dan! For me personally, I still jump rope because it was my only company when I was rock bottom back in 2022, all the covid stuff, family and financial issues, isolation, depression and many setbacks, and whenever I jump rope, it’s a reminder to be tough and always push through no matter what.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

It’s crazy how good of a mental workout jump rope can be just not just physical

[@boyandcatmum]

I started jumping rope because I had two children under 3 years old and I couldn't get to the gym 20 years later I am still jumping rope. I really like your channel it is super helpful.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

appreciate that 🙏🏻

[@vix3nbl1tzen23]

Crossrope + HIIT and my anger or PMS issues are solved for the day 😂 I've learned all the cool movements from you and Brandon, and I always reccomend your videos whenever someone at the gym asks me for workout ideas.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Appreciate that !!!

[@I_am_Mac]

You got me started in jumping rope at 40. Don't think I've done it since gym class in elementary

[@davidjessamy7904]

Today I decided to do one of your beginners workouts and increased it from my usual 1 round to 3 rounds. And after i felt pretty good and think I will try it again. Music and 15 instead of 10 second rest intervals helped. Thanks for the inspiration Dan.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Awesome dude! Lemme know what other workouts you’d like to see

[@joseixpertay348]

It's been 3 years for me since I've jumped roping and loving it, and it has changed my physics and also has helped me with explosive moves like muscle up and elevated heel squats!

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Love to hear it 🤙🏼⚡️

[@tuinbolado1]

Dan, you have no idea how impactful this video has been for me. What you're doing with your channel is truly inspiring. I am 42 years old and live in Brazil. Jumping rope has utterly transformed my physique and, consequently, my life. In one year, I've lost 13 kilograms and reduced my body fat percentage from 19% to the current 11%. Nowadays, I jump rope four times a week for 35 minutes. However, I'll need to increase it to five times a week because on days I don't jump rope, I feel unwell. I'm completely addicted. Jumping rope has become a habit. I also want to mention that I live in Rio de Janeiro and surf here whenever I can. It's incredible how jumping rope has improved my surfing. I get less tired, have much better balance, and, being lighter and stronger, my paddling and drop have significantly improved. Thank you so much for the work you do. Lastly, I want to say that even though I live in Brazil, I purchased a Crossrope, which is far superior to those available here. The import tax is high, but it was worth every cent.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Love love reading comments like this. Pumped that you have discovered the power of jump rope and have experienced the changes !! Also I wanna come to rio and surf haha

[@jeffstrong9943]

Had a total wrist fusion, bone graft and metal plate. Still love to use my weighted rope.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Does it affect your ability to skip??

[@deannabarnes3771]

Recently broke a plateau, from 180 to 177lbs. Planning to keep going #Danwiththeplan.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Keep going and dont stress abt a few lbs 💪🏼🤙🏼 u got this !

[@deannabarnes3771]

@JumpRopeDudes Thanks, Dan! Will do!

[@vx6771]

Hey it’s the music that does it for me too. Love your story. I can relate to almost all the points you bring up. You continue to be a great inspiration to me. Thank you for the passion, it’s infectious. 👏 👏 🎊 🎉

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Thank you so much it means the world to me

[@Justguywholikesskippingandps]

Ive been jumping rope for 5 months now and let me tell ya ive enjoyed it alot and i think i have also slowly getting good at it the more i watch your videos

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Glad to hear it. Keep it up, it just keeps getting better 💪🏻

[@finallimits1]

I do it mostly because I’m addicted to it. And it makes me feel good.

[@OrphicB]

For the past month I’ve been consistent with jump roping and the mental benefits are amazing. Once I flow it’s the best feeling ever lol

[@JumpRopeDudes]

agreed

[@RoygouravRoy]

Suppose I don't do advanced jump rope tricks, only regular bounce with high speed, shall I be getting lean?

[@Potty8]

of course!

[@jasonthompson6267]

you will!

[@JumpRopeDudes]

You could literally just do regular bounce and get into amazing shape

[@joshflaker2756]

Iv been jumping rope consistently for 7 years and have been doing a lot more high knee sprint intervals lately.. it’s just such an easy way to sprint instead of trying to find a good stretch of flat ground and you don’t have to worry about a surprise hole in the ground that’ll mess your shit up

[@JumpRopeDudes]

💯

[@ubj1993]

I started the day 1 of the jump rope challenge today. It really pushed me 😅. I'm very excited for this journey. It's all about being more fit and healthy for me. Im getting married in September so I definitely want to be healthier and more fit by then.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Nice! good motivation for sure! you got this 💪🏻

[@ellie4123]

I’m so glad I found jump rope! I don’t have to leave my house to workout and I get so far in a small amount of time - it’s awesome

[@JumpRopeDudes]

The best !!

[@Joe_De_Luca]

Privileged to be part of this journey with you for the past 5 years. 👍

[@JumpRopeDudes]

The king 🎉

[@deannagoldsmith5204]

I agree that if you jump rope in a specific way it looks like river dancing

[@JumpRopeDudes]

The best flow in the world

[@baneen6396]

I bought a jump rope 2 days ago and I have been doing 30min everyday , my calf’s hurt but I still do it and hopefully can go on for a month

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Rest your calves! Speaking from experience, don't do too much too soon. I know it's tempting...

[@WildCampingandmore]

Dude, slow down - for anyone else seeing this - start with say 3 x 1 min rounds (even 3 x 30 seconds if that's all you can do). And have 'rest & repair' days in between. Your calfs will soon adapt, as will your lungs! Then you can move on to longer and a higher number of rounds...

[@germanramirez7542]

Amazing work, man. I absolutely LOVE this channel ❤

[@JumpRopeDudes]

thanks so much 🙏🏽

[@bravesoldat4498]

i wuv it, it has became part of my daily routine, i never skip jumping rope from same reason you wouldn't skip brushing teeth

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Agreed , it’s a habit once you get into it

[@sergioparreno1203]

I started jumping rope because every time I did weights lifting, running or going to the gym I ended up stressing because I thought that I was wasting a lot of time of my day for example doing a gym workout of 2 hours, for me that time is too much to spend in just doing exercise, now i normally do 30 minutes workouts 3 to 4 days per week and sometimes i feel motivated to do larger workouts or adding lifting exercises. It is honestly too simple and effective for my style of life.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

That's what I like to hear, man. Keep doing the thing ⚡️

[@gregaustin8114]

Wow, what an inspiring story. It goes to show what following your passion can do in your life. Congratulations on finding your way.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Thanks so much 🙏🏽

[@dexproxx]

Great video ! I have a question, is there a specific type of shoes that you recommend to use to jump rope ? Like running shoes ? Or basketball shoes ?

[@JumpRopeDudes]

I use basketball shoes although running , cross training, or basketball shoes are good

[@notmebutyou8350]

I suffer from mild depression, so I'm hoping this will help with that, plus I need to lose about 65 pounds (especially some in my stomach area). Something tells me that once I get started jumping rope, there will be no turning back. This is one thing I'd love to become addicted to!!

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Just like any other hobby or sport, the addicting part of it is the reward for lots of daily dedication! I can't wait for you to get there, you got this! 💪🏻⚡️

[@Npinzong]

Hi bro. I'm from Colombia and i'm just getting to know your channel. Cool that your mutation happened here. I'm already a jumping rope fan, so i'm sure i will enjoy your content. Is there a video on how to include jumping rope for runners ? Thanks

[@frankcole5220]

Hey Dan.. yes I totally agree with you my brother.. 💯💯💯💯❤❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@JumpRopeDudes]

🙏🏻🙏🏻⚡️⚡️

[@justanotheruploader7175]

I’ve noticed that the number of views on this channel and other jump rope channels have declined. I also hear/see a lot less about jump ropes elsewhere on social media. Some possible explanations: 1) jump rope was a fad and like all fads, it passed 2) as an exercise, jump rope couldn’t “compete” with other things like weight training, running, cycling and yoga. Thus, it couldn’t form a large enough base of regular viewership 3) People who’ve already mastered jump rope don’t feel the need to revisit these channels

[@JumpRopeDudes]

🤔

[@kap849]

I made the same observation too, and conclusion!

[@hmmm..2733]

I’m a 65 year old F. A trainer said I should do a more “age appropriate “ exercise when I told him of my intention to start skipping rope. I’m not listening to him. I just started a couple of weeks ago…very slowly. I’m using a beaded rope they have at the gym. I can hardly wait to get my own!

[@JumpRopeDudes]

You can skip rope at any age, i've seen it 😎💪🏻

Hey bro, i am 35 years old man with 286pounds(130kg) and i have e litlle low bcak pain issue. May i jump rope everyday to achieve my target at 80kg(176pounds) at least and perhaps my low back pain issue gone too. May heard your advice bro. Tq very much

You came at the right time, I just talked about this. Watch here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6bKdamki6-Ija8
