5:04 I needed to hear this. I started last week, and the first day I did 15 minutes of non continuous jumprope. The next day I could barely do two minutes before I was completely out of breath. Day three, and my calves hurt ferociously, but so too did my lower back, I left the jumprope alone. Day four I tried again, but by the fifth jump my back hurt far too much to continue. I want to get more fit, but I also need to listen to what my body is saying.

[@sannaowa]

don't forget to stretch

[@SkullKnight1]

Warm up goes a long way

[@bushspring]

Have you tried doing maybe 7sets of 2mins with 35sec rest in-between sets? 14mins :)

[@M-hc9xm]

Great video as always! I started doing the thing about a year ago. Took me a long time to work up to where I was in august. Then, I broke my wrist. After the first couple weeks, I jumped without a rope. By the time I was ready to start twirling a rope again with my wrist, I felt I hadn't lost too much. Fantastic exercise for anyone, any fitness level.

[@anonymousanonymou5535]

I always do jumprope everyday.. idk it seems addictive. it's like I did not have my workout proper with no jumprope. also that's my cardio only since I stay in house.. so after listening to this, I think twice now. tssk tssk tssk. it may bad

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Just make sure you're listening to your body - rest when needed and have a good recovery routine in place!

[@thatosetilo608]

Aàaaaaaaaaaaaa

[@hauani8710]

I agree, I started jump rope last week, it became an addiction 🥲. Like, I want to jump rope mostly everytime I can. Today I jumped rope for almost an hour 🤣, but I tried to keep a good amount of rest between my sets.

[@marinag.3338]

I got very injured bc of that… i mean, I’ve spent years jumping almost everyday and I have an uretrocele bc of that, and some lessions on my legs… just take care of you 🫠🫠

[@CCJJ160Channels]

Right? Jumping rope is the first time in a long time I’ve actually looked forward to working out.

[@stefandomagalski3722]

No joke! Skipping rope is "the thing" and I be "doing" it. I've got the "get fit" and "get strong" crossrope. I enjoy pyramid workouts using the 1/4lb ×300skips, then a bodyweight exercise, 1/2lb ×200, bw exercise, 1lb ×100, bw exercise, 2lb ×50, bw exercise, and finish each set with a 1 arm farmer walk with a kettle bell. 4× sets of that and I'm good. Usually takes about 45 min. Thanks Jump Rope Dudes!!!! I'm 41 years old and have visible abs for the first time in my life!!!!! Hooray!!!

[@brunosantiago4849]

Cool !! That's great to know actually !!

[@chica-jinx5811]

I started jump roping again on June 2nd, since childhood. I bought a new rope that’s adjustable. But I struggle in the beginning and keep watching these videos, learn something new each time. I’m still not as good as the guys in the videos. But I did get up 90 jumps over time in between the rope hitting my shoes.😣 I think I did decent since I’m in my sixties. But I do wish I can get as smooth as the JRD’s and everyone else In the videos. I take breaks jumping every few days to rest my body.😊

[@bryanmariano5328]

[@tacticalchunder1207]

Number 5 was me for about a year or two. Tried so hard to get into jump rope and kept battling pain in my left ankle. Taken it much slower this time around and it’s been good so far!

[@srndipity]

We're the same! I've tried so hard at first because I'm too excited to get into jump ropes. May I know what did you do to lessen the pain on yout ankle? I got a pain in my shin due to jump rope.

10 min a day is too much? I don't think so

Wonderful video!! I could relate to the mistakes. Thank you for doing this video.

[@fukuokasiennaayaka4023]

My first time watching a video about jumping rope and surprisingly I got it all right. All from number 1 to 5. Also, I do it right as you advise. I do it every other day (Mon, Wed, Fri). I usually jogging 30 minutes then followed by jumping rope for 2-3 minutes (I'm really new to this exercise so I'd like to take it slow day by day as I gain endurance also I found joy in jumping rope). Thanks for this video, I am more confident now in jumping rope.

[@sowetaacharya5758]

Wwoww...I really like the way you make the mistakes on purpose to demonstrate which is really commendable ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@antoblack4139]

Not me 3 days ago starting and doing a 30 minutes jump rope workout as my first introduction to the thing. Figure as an athlete even after a period of let's call it "relax" I would easily do it. I can't even walk right now, I'm stretching and trying to make the pain go away but I fear it'll be a long one to resolve. I should've definitely known better but here we are. Do not do this.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

NOoooooo... You gotta ease in bro! We're so sorry you moved so quickly. check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZbPgKhngL6phqc

[@henriarm367]

The too much too soon really hits. There are some of us including me and maybe a lot that wanna do 30 mins straight away. But if you literally just begin take it step by step. After all this is a lifetime progress.

[@josiieize2.051]

Yes ... I have to tell myself to start easy. I always get pains from working out and I am the heaviest now I've ever been. Been working out regularly the last month focusing on doing every movement right. I do still get a lower back pain sometimes but at least it's much better than it has been. Anyway, you got this :) Best of luck

[@user-mm7hb6mq6h]

Hello! Do you recommend starting with 3 minutes for example and increasing the time by 1 minute or 30 seconds everyday? Or do I have to progress much slower

[@jakkilock5761]

So I love your CrossRope I have the 1/4lb and the 1/2 lb and have the correct size thanks to ya'lls chart on the website. I do have an issue though since I am SUPER new "haven't jumped since high school and not saying how long that's been lol!" so I consider myself a newbie. I can jump about 30 secs at a time and then my feet cramp up really bad!! I do the stretches you recommended is there anything else I can do to prevent this from happening as it hurts really bad. I want to jump and lose weight and get healthier. I have good shoes btw. Thanks and love your channel.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Start with that baseline and work your way up. Think of your foot like any other muscle that needs to be worked! Endurance and strength will come with time. Stick with 20-30 sec intervals and work your way up and your foot strength builds!

[@chefstevenmurry158]

Thank you cuz I had trouble at tha gym an hour ago.

[@sumukhashebbar7363]

Hey dudes, Last year I had lost nearly 10 kgs by doing jump rope, I could easily do 2500 to 3000 skips daily. But I had some exams so I had stopped it and now when I have started it again I am getting pain in lower right abdomen everytime. I even checked with the doctor and he did some tests and said it could be some muscle pain it may go in a few weeks but 3 months have passed but I still get pain when I jump

[@arjunprasad7346]

Great suggestions for beginners

[@sidstar593]

My calves were sore for 2 days after I did (30 secs skipping and 30 secs rest) 4x times. Dnt do for another 2 days I am gonna repeat from tmrw.

[@mentaliusDK]

The rope you´re using to show length, is easily adjusted, however the Get Lean-set, not so much:( I do use the green rope with a knot (and I don´t like to knot an expensive rope like that) The white rope I just hardly ever use, which is to bad. Now there´s other brands that offers the click-on system AND a way to adjust the rope, I hope CR Will do that pretty soon.

[@hikami6207]

Yh I noticed the elbow thing when I started, so to fix that I would make sure that the rope would always keep hitting the floor

[@briansmith1679]

I find myself usually learning jump rope on my living room carpet, and in hotel room carpets, when I'm taking passengers to varias locations for a few, or several days; ( I drive buses for a charter company ) I have used your matts on my rug, but they tend to move while I'm jumping rope. Does jumping rope on carpet rugs impede my progression in mastering jump rope? My kitchen is too small, and so are the tiled floor aresa in the hotel rooms!

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Nope not at all, you can absolutely jump on a carpet. It will cause a bit of a drag just due to the rope hitting a rougher surface, but if you're ok with it - -go for it!

[@jadedinosaur7573]

Hey dudes! So, I love jump roping, obviously, and while I don't profess to being as good as you guys, I like to think I'm okay. I really want to find ways to get my local community involved. To be honest, yes, I also would like to make money jump roping-but just being able to put something cool on my resume would also be great! What are some of the best ways to do this? Happy Thanksgiving yo! :)

I think i laughed more from the demonstrations than i learned

[@margaretowino1768]

Very educative I will start a fresh 😂

[@AndiFels]

I was always told the rop should be hip height. So I jump too high to compensate for the short rope. I'm getting a new rope today. 😅

[@JumpRopeDudes]

Oh man, that's too short. You're going to love your new rope. Don't stop doing the thing!

[@deepancivil5883]

Thank for your video

[@Roxanannabelle13fn]

I test the length first by bringing my ankles up and then swinging it gently and if it doesn’t go beneath my feet it is to short and if it stop before it’s to long

Just wondering, right now I’m doing around 3 minutes a day (like 4-5 days in). Should I still take rest days? I’m not really in pain after an hour or two of finishing.

[@JumpRopeDudes]

I think you're fine to skip multiple days in a row because it's short sessions! Might i suggest upping to 5 minutes a day and see how it feels? Do the thing!

[@haiajerjawi9781]

Thanks

[@BellaFrice]

when beginning, can you do something different ont he rest days? i want to start this, and im riding my bicycle also and can i alternate ?

[@JumpRopeDudes]

For sure, also walking or swimming are great low-impact exercises for rest days.

[@aloe_lite1253]

I have a genuine question. I've recently started doing jump ropes and surprisingly, I was able to do it but... as I was looking thru the "beginners guide" on jump ropes, I noticed that in every video, the rope goes forward and then the person jumps... I on the other hand, is the opposite. The rope goes from behind then I jump to it. My question now is... is the way I'm doing the jump part in doing jump ropes wrong?

[@ivaneph]

I just started my jump rope journey today and still learning how to properly do it especially for a plus size

[@JumpRopeDudes]

You got this 💪🏻 take it slow and don't give up no matter how frustrated you might get! Do the thing!

[@deannagoldsmith5204]

I need help. I have been jumping rope for awhile now and I have lost over 30 pounds using the heavier ropes. However my form is terrible and I can only do regular bounce.

[@Hi-us2ug]

[@guyhumphrey8107]

Hey JRD’s and Other jump ropers! amazing advice to start off with let me say, I rushed into jumping rope as I was so excited to try a new form of cardio (sitting indoors on my stationary bike has become a little boring) began jumping far too much (30 minutes +) and my Achilles felt like they were constantly burning, anyway I’ve took a couple weeks off now and slowly returning using your plan, just looking for some advice, when I start my session I warm up before hand and I feel fine however I feel as the session goes on my calf’s really want to tighten up? Is this normal? It hasn’t caused me problems yet but I’m just checking for any advice? Cheers

[@stefandomagalski3722]

Yoga helps to stay loose

[@josephwarren5793]

Stretch before and after. Also use a foam roller after. Middle and both sides of the calf, 5 to 10 minutes each leg. You'll be amazed. Cold therapy aids in recovery Also. God bless.
