Skipping For 30 Days And This Is What Happened...

[@WildlifeWithCookie]

I ended up doing around 35,000 jumps in the month. Jump rope is in the description if you fancy it! Hope you enjoy xx

[@Hux-464-67]

Good vid mate, so was there no other training what so ever?

[@WildlifeWithCookie]

@Mark No other training at all. I ate reasonably well on this one so that probably helped

[@warrenmorgan304]

Are you still jumping?

[@EndlessTravels]

Jump roping is better than just about anything else when you compare time vs. results Daily i do 30 minutes been that way for years..i run faster im look stronger, i feel great i dont eat as much and im G my main diet change was i reduced carbs and i take in Chia seeds with any sugary foods like fruits

[@shannonolivier4605]

You are so honest about it all. SOOOOOOO many videos people try and sugar coat the struggle or the fact that you don't see the results you want. But you say it as it is. Love your work dude. All the way from South Africa

[@WildlifeWithCookie]

Big up South Africa! Think honesty is the best way to be - don’t see the point in pretending it’s great when it’s not 😂

[@jacquimaggo9234]

"Can't see much difference in the back" the definition of your lat muscle was significantly different!! Total muscle gains, calf, lats, bicep 💪 well done! ✔

[@c.r.60]

good on you for taking those rest days! theyre very important for enjoying exercise and you come back stronger each time. I do skipping as well, but if I’m sore, I don’t go for it. I also gained weight the first week; it’s totally normal. It’s probably the water retention in the muscle tears.

[@dwighthayles1226]

Guys trust me from Experience this works. I was in shape at 75kg and I started jump rope along with a caloric deficit and today I weigh 72.5kg I want to get to 72kg and I'll have reached my goal for this year.

[@ChrisFranklyn]

Nice one. I started the couch to 5k and learnt that for me to avoid injury I have to do a lot of double rest days rather than one. But that's kept me going whereas hurting myself in past attempts has put me out for months. It's hard to listen to your body saying "calm down mate" when you're so desparate for gains/losses and you see progress. But it's the key. Looking forward to your next experiment!

[@SixString_J5]

Great work! My doctor gave me some advice that is applicable here. My workout game was decent but I was still overweight. He said you gotta look at food as the front end and calorie burn as the back end. If your workouts are burning 200-300 calories, that's fantastic! But your problem is actually on the front end. One cupcake or one brownie above your caloric maintenance level and you've blown your hard work entirely. Your approach has to be a double edged sword of front end and back end. I'm down 12 lbs this year and my jump rope arrives today. I've just been eating more consciously with a goal of 2000cal a day, lifting weights, and trying to get at least 10,000 steps a day.

[@saleemhussain4634]

Absolutely spot on there mate. Nutrition is probably about 70% and exercise 30%. And I say nutrition instead of a diet because diet implies something temporary where as nutrition should be the new good habit you go forward with your life. How's your jump rope going? I've been going for about 2 weeks with jump rope, plus more consistently healthy meals and weights and I've noticed a difference already. Losing 12lbs at the time of your comment is a great achievement! Great stuff!

[@SixString_J5]

@@saleemhussain4634 Actually, I haven’t jumped rope in almost 3 weeks😬. I have gotten more dedicated to lifting weights and dialing in my nutrition. I’ve had some lapses here and there but it’s always my nutrition that focuses me back. As of today I’m down 23 lbs this year. I’ve gone from 25%bf to16%bf. I’m VERY close to my target weight and I’ll need to add about 200-300 cal /day to get about my maintenance level

[@usedsweatpants799]

you can look into intermittent fasting and keto . only with fasting and minor workout I dropped 10 kg in 2 months.

[@plantpoweredpear3688]

For one month, this is a massive achievement! One month challenges are a bit misleading and many videos on KZbin are fake because one month really isn't enough time to notice big changes. It takes about 3 months at least to see big improvements as I'm finding with working out! You did really well to make this video!

[@What-oi9oc]

The pain you were feeling in the inside of your shins are shin splints I believe. They can be caused from doing little running then doing a lot of running or jump roping in your case. Can be fixed with rest or you can just push through them.

[@usedsweatpants799]

pushing through will only aggravate the issue . the cause of shin splints is inflammation so you don't want to push on something that can turn into severe damage. being overweight doesn't help so you gotta stop immediately the exercise , give it a really good rest and look up for alternatives that won't stress the shins for at least a week or 2.

[@NickHazletonMusic]

I really noticed more cuts in the side of your waist from the back. That’s also really interesting that your biceps got bigger. Definitely noticeable for only 30 days! Nice job

[@Pikiah77]

Fair play mate, great, informative video, thanks for taking the time, plus it's always good to see a Coventry City Football Shirt👍

[@shaunthomas6547]

Hey I think the pain you're referring to in the early video is Shin Splints. Look that up and how up look after it. Its also really common with running. I used to get it running all the time, rest is the best from what I understand (I'm not a physio or health expert in anyway though). Well done on keeping it going again!! Great results!

[@WildlifeWithCookie]

Think you're right. It's not fun to have that's for sure - thank you for watching

[@Rasooli]

Nice job Cookie! Keep it up man. Some advice: Always work both sides of a joint to avoid imbalances. I believe your pain in your shin is due to the fact that your workouts are making your calve muscles stronger. Much stronger, compared to the front muscles of your calves, leading to that muscle not being able to compensate for all the repeated stretching. Try to throw in some tibialis workouts in there! - Source: B.S. in Kinesiology

[@WildlifeWithCookie]

Oh thank you for this! I appreciate that 😄😄

[@lordkira9791]

After I moved, I couldn't go to the gym for cardio and I couldn't jump rope due to ceiling being low. So I did cordless jump rope for 30 minutes per day (30 sets of 45 sec of "jump roping" and 15 sec rest). I lost 500 cal per workout and lost 2 pounds per week when combined with good diet. It was better than running.

[@KevinSturm79]

Keep up the good work. Great progress! I also just started again with skipping. Lot‘s of fun and good sweat.

[@sagansagan5395]

The most important thing is diet. Did u change your diet in this 30 days? If u keep eating the same food and in the same amount you are not going to lose that much fat. It doesn’t matter if you are skipping or running, chances are you are not going to lose too much fat without a good diet

[@sikora558]

Respect for your persistance sir!

[@jrambassn6758]

If you noticed towards the end you stopped landing on the full foot. That’s where you got all the pain on how you landed. Flat footed or not you should always land on the balls of your feet,

[@KMcKee-qn6bo]

FYI.... You have three muscles in your calf. The ‘‘soleus muscle” lies like a pancake just under the “gastrocnemius muscle” (which is the largest surface muscle that you see in your calf) In some people (overweight/out-of-condition) those two muscles can become ‘sticky and slightly-fused’ on the inner-surfaces-the pain comes from the slow tearing/separation of the two muscle surfaces that the workout causes/allows for. It’s a return to a healthier status and movement-they should slide smoothly across each other.... The best thing to do is work through the pain, and use some days of rest and massage... just like you were doing. Also, muscles weight more than fat... the weight increase corresponded to muscle-increase. ... it’s not really the weight ‘numbers’ that matter, it’s healthy muscle-tone and condition.

[@ash8662]

An honest video. its much appreciated. definite gains, keep up the good work.

[@legacygroup2012]

Much love to a man that jumps (skips) rope barefoot. I appreciate the honesty in this video. Not all of us can go from thick to Thor in one video. What is going to help is calorie deficit. Keep up the good work mate

[@Muckduk]

2k calories a day and an hour of steady state cardio everyday for a month!

[@WildlifeWithCookie]

Sounds like I should give it a go

[@TheFerozuddin]

That's how i lose my belly..lost almost 7kg

[@mawmawa4116]

It’s normal to weight more when you start working out 👀 your body retains more water to heal your muscles 🙂

[@njabulomahlangu4213]

The same pain you speaking of I've felt every time I try to take on skipping. I've started again after a very long time, I can definitely say warming up helps a lot, haven't felt that pain in two weeks of skipping. 10mon warm up

[@kokokirifull]

1:52 it's off topic, but I appreciate you put both imperial and metric system, since I can't measure with the imperial one.

[@raeleeduplooy9387]

Well done buddy! Weight gain directly after starting exercise is natural, so don't stress. You need to do calf and ankle stretches and exercises to strengthen and flex thos lower legs.

[@amaniiexxchnge]

Do you know why?

[@raeleeduplooy9387]

@@amaniiexxchnge So many reasons that I don't have the qualifications to explain😂 Just ask Google and you will see. However I can tell you from experience that if you work hard, sleep hard, recover hard, drink water and eat good food... YOU WILL SEE RESULTS😊

[@randercommander]

Thanks for sharing your journey! I’m only on day 2 and I am dying lol

[@vonmoa6788]

Day 60 how are you feeling now ?

[@razworthers_3601]

Another thing mate is the longer you do this for the body adapts and u will see very little in body shape change but more in stamina as that is basically the main reasons boxers skip for better stamina. I am no gym freak but how about trying to do plank right after you skip as your body especially legs are tight getting your body in that plank position helps stretch your leg muscles to help heal and also to help flex but also if you keep your core tensed will help reduce waist and shrink stomach and helps with shoulders , chest And posture. Hope you keep up the skipping it's a great exercise and also something you can do with just little time and you actually looked healthy in the later parts of the video so great stuff.

[@WildlifeWithCookie]

Yeah I could try and work that in to like a circuit or something. I've kept up with the skipping, it's good fun!

[@razworthers_3601]

@@WildlifeWithCookie I had to start a year or so back had my lad start boxing and he was adamant skipping was for girls and wouldn't try so I had to show him it's not and started myself. I was literally like you at the start pal struggled to do 10 or so in a row didn't get as good as you tho as I kinda stopped due to me already being in the gym. Seriously tho mate half a stone in just over 4 weeks is a great loss and If u carry on but also do the plank for a min or so afterwards It would be great if u could inform me on any future losses as I might just start skipping again 15 weeks no gym with lockdown and my belly is back lol.

[@shellydavies8642]

just watched your video, really liked it because it was honest and your five day rest made sense. I have had to have two days between sessions of skipping. I do 10 seconds work and 10 rest, being over 40 goes against me but, I am determined to keep this up. Need to loose around 1.5 stone at the very least. My question is, did you keep on doing the skipping? I hope so, skipping is really been a life saver for me, and its the only exercise that genuinely makes me not feel bad if I'm not doing well that day. I genuinely smile if I fudge my form or the rope catches my foot. Thanks again!

[@coreymartin2605]

Best thing for the pain is ice, I have the same pains from baseball, just ice when you’re done

[@yaku_be_fit]

Awesome bro💪🏽🤘🏽👍🏽

[@MLBBDawg]

I am currently 254 lbs, and started walking/jogging (targeting to get back my stamina), a bit of home workout (I don't have the confidence yet to go in the gym looking like a blob) and picked Intermittent fasting (18hours fast, 6 hours eating the right amount). My first week was like a warm up only since it has been years since I have done any physical activity, I just started the real running earlier this morning and my calves are hurting, this might be the week i will be doing some rest days. I thought of doing jump rope also in my first week but when I tried it I think I just might get an injury and will set me back again physically and mentally. I don't want any setbacks again. It will just kill my motivation again. I really want to do jump roping because my friends say it is a better cardio work out than jogging and I am in a tropical country where running outside will be impossible when the Rainy season starts so doing jump rope at home will save me the misery from not being able to run. So right now before I get serious with jump rope, I am trying to cut back weight for at least 20-30 lbs. I am really excited to start with jump rope and I really want to start soon!

[@owaweowuwu7269]

How is your progress?

[@MLBBDawg]

@@owaweowuwu7269 Currently 209 lbs. I can do almost 42 minutes jumping rope now. 22 minutes full cardio and another 20 minutes for practicing jump rope tricks. I do weight training 3 times a week and cardio (jump rope) 3 times a week also. I do jumping rope most of my cardio now because it saves me time but burn calories more. But sometimes I go on a long walk on monday mornings (i work on the graveyard shifts). Losing weight has gave me a boost in confidence and living my best life yet. My target weight is 185-175 and I hoping to get that next year.

[@SoSolace1]

Dude i just started jump roping, it's killer. But the plan was at least 100 for me and I did 500 yesterday. Also to mention I'm 400 pounds

I think you did too much too fast and were on the edge of serious injury. 15 minutes a day off the bat is way more than I would do, even with shoes. And barefoot is wayyyyy harder on your ligaments and tendons. I think of 1 min barefoot jumping as about the same as 5 minutes with shoes on, and when I’m resuming jumping after a period of not doing it much, I never do 2 days in a row and I never increase duration by more than a minute at a time. That’s what I’ve figured out after messing myself up a bunch of times with over training.
