My track coach used to always make us jump rope almost more than we would run. I thought it was dumb, however, we where D1 state champions 5 times in a row at that time. A lot of our mile and 2 mile runners got full ride scholarships. I can say from experience I felt the most in shape during that season.
@@andresmoreno3132 So all the distance runners would start with a 3-5 mile run while everyone else did strength training. When those runners got back everyone would group up and cycle between doing agility latter's and jump rope. Everyone would probably get a total of 20-30 min of jump rope each in increments of 5 min.
I used to HATE cardio, especially running. So I tried skipping and I've been hooked. There's something about it that makes you wanna keep going and doesn't get boring. And I'm hoping it'll help me in my weight loss progress
how does jumping in the exact same spot doesn'T get boring while running around a city seeing lots of stuff does? I mean I get bored by running in the forrest or the same way every day, but I can't imagine standing still.
@@jemand8462 because skipping is also a hand eye coordination game of sorts. When you're starting, consistently not screwing up is tough. Then u add various jump rope tricks you can (and should) learn. It's way more fun than sightseeing on foot imo.
@@viceanterra3agreed, learning crossovers and Tyson Squat jumps but I would take it OR running well over any elliptical or treadmill… I’d rather take a beating than use a machine lol
Very good! Couple tips: 1) You can spare your rope wear & tear by bringing a door mat or carpet mat to skip on. Asphalt and concrete will tear up your rope quickly. 2) Practice double-unders by popping from your ankles with your legs straight. This is much easier and more efficient than doing tuck jumps which are extremely tiring.
I skip 60 minutes a day, every day for the last 3 years. It totally changed my life. I used to be tired just walking the stairs, now I’m not even tired after 30 minutes of skipping. When I started my Fitbit said I had the body of a 60 year old. Now my Fitbit says I’m 27. Which I am. I can’t recommend it enough. It’s extremely meditative and a great start or end of your busy day!!
Tsering Lamsang I used to take rests in the beginning. Keep in mind, I did build up to the 60 minutes. You can start with 10 minutes, take 2 minutes rest or until your heartbeat is back to lightly higher than in rest and keep repeating that :) You can do so much more than you think!
Great job, Aidan. Similar for me; so far I've lost a little over 20 kgs (117.5 down to 97.3) over 3 months with a mixture of skipping, bike riding, kettlebells and club bells, and, most importantly, a more regimented diet with measured portions. Diet is key.
I lose 30kg without any sport, but when i hit 75kg its really hard to cut my fat so i join the gym and lose another 5kg but gain it right back when i tear my ACL
Im currently doing the exact same thing as you. I want to go from 84,1 kilos to 78, and in 7 days I've already lost 1,7 kilos. Best thing to lose weight so far
@TheOriginal RudeBoy For me, I started off trying to skip in 1 minute intervals (with 30 second breaks) for 5 minutes; now I'm doing 5 minute intervals for 30 minutes. It takes time to build both your cardio and calf strength.
Bro good job. I'm doing 45 minutes jump rope every day, doing strength training 3-4 times a week, and fencing 2 times a week. I wanna shed off some fat because I've been starting to get more into fitness and health. Also I can't reccomend these meals enough for low calories, high fiber/protein/good fats: Breakfast: Oats with 0.1% milk and raisins. Tastes great, and it's filled with fibers/calcium which keep you full for hours. Lunch: Rye bread with salmon or egg (or both). I eat this almost every day, and again it has a lot if fibers, protein and important fats. Tastes amazing too. Dinner: For dinner I usually try to focus on protein and vegetables, and eat less carbs. Usually some sort of fish/chicken for meat, coleslaw, broccoli, cauliflower, or some form of cabbage. Carbs are usually potatoes, brown rice or something like that, but it usually is only around 20% of my meal. I've been sticking to this 3-meal + wprkout schedlue for 3 months, and already seeing great changes. Some tips I have for people starting out doing this is: 1 Be consistent, or else you won't see change. 2 Cut out any snacking right away, stick to your meal plan 3 Try to do some research, don't just eat salad and think you'll lose fat instantly. And don't eat the same things all the time, change helps you stick to your plan'. 4 Drink lots of water. It boosts your metabolic rate which burns a few more calories a day, prevents bloating, and it's just heslthy overall. Anyway, hope you guys will keep sticking with it (if you read this far, you're a legend btw. Thank you for listening to me.)
This is awesome Brendan! A super useful skipping skill is to learn how to spin the rope by either side whilst still jumping; and it is really easy to do. When you're getting tired, you can use this to "shake-out" your arms and shoulders, whilst still jumping - and often when you get back into normal position, you'll be more accurate with your jumps, like a mini-reset without actually stopping! It'd also be good to purchase a speed-rope and swap which one you use each day. A speed rope will work out less of your upper body, but will allow you to utilise fast twitch muscles much better and improve your skipping overall. Loved the episode :)
Just to add to these tips, your jump rope looked slightly long, which can be solved by tying a knot on either side of the rope by the handles. This shortens the rope, which in turn brings your arms in, which allows you to skip more efficiently thus for longer, more intense periods of time. I hope more ppl get into skipping- It's awesome!
Can you elaborate on how to 'spin the rope by either side while still jumping'? Also, I used to jump rope for 30 mins before but now even 5 mins of skipping leads to cramp in the forearm near the elbow. Like he mentioned in the video, 'forearm gets snapped'. Do you know how to avoid this? Thanks in advance
Skipping is brilliant exercise. Im 44 and sporty all my life. Playing football and going to the gym alot. Was never lean but always close. Anyway I took up skipping 2yrs ago and bought a chin up bar. Ive never been in better shape. Finally got the elusive 6pack that I figured my genetics didnt allow !! Unreal the difference doing those 2 things 3/4 times a week makes. I recently ran a marathon. The skipping made the training for that so much easier coz you get into a rhythm. I skip 1hr when I do it and try to do it 3/4 times a week. Do that for a few months on and then 1 off where I just pig out ... I ended the pig out month yesterday and just did a 1hr 30min skipathon just now. Unreal workout. Cheap and efficient. Highly recommend it.
Dang! You jump for 1hr a day that's amazing! I dunno if I could ever do that let alone 30mins 😅 I incorporate jumping in my workouts each day with my 1/2lb rope but still not able to skip for 5mins straight but getting closer each day..I start with a 5min jump before each workout then end with a 10min jump and body ball slams...on days I do arms and abs I add 2min of jumping in between each exercise round then move on to the next set of exercises...this will be week 6
As a boxer, can i point out that if you're doubles try this: the second the rope has passed your feet & you deciding to do doubles the next jump instead of jumping vertically do a "light kick forward with bolth feet" and bend slightly forward with your back this way you become smaller and it's easier to do doubles.
It's really bad on your knees if you dolphin kick everytime you double under. You can just adjust your rope or practice double under without landing so hard like he did.
Few months ago, I started doing 30 min of skiping everyday or 3000 jumps as fast as possible, it really improved my coordination, cardio and it helped me with my cut. Great video.
I think he's fit enough to be competent in most physical activities. In the reactions video. He's fit enough to become good to really good at boxing or martial arts.
ConspiracyJuice just the way he moves. As a athletic coach and physical therapist I I have been confronted with hundreds of people and I would say I can predict some talent. He moves not efficient or coordinated enough to be a athlete by no means. But I‘m totally surprised how he manages all these challenges and I respect him highly.
@@pillepalle3614 I can believe that, although I'd say practice and consistency holds more weight than talent. I still think it's a little rude to say he has "zero" talent, especially when he reads through these comments. It seems like he has a very average athletic ability - some strengths , some weaknesses - which makes it all the more impressive/motivational when he completes these feats.
Interesting experiment! And interestingly, I actually did a somewhat opposite experiment by chance. A good while back, I took a break from jumping rope for an entire month while I completed a challenge which involved running a few miles daily (in addition to certain calisthenics). When I returned to jumping rope, the maximum number of repetitions that I could perform for particular jump rope moves increased substantially. I was blown away by the increase in performance. Not only that, but I fell in love with running and bonuses were the incredible mental benefits I got as a result of running in addition to the physical ones. I ran track and cross country in school and did running as part of various sports, but I didn't run purely for enjoyment. I do now. Since that 'experiment', I've completed several events including an ultra marathon, marathon, and distances in between.
You should try doing a Pacer test (also called Beep Test), it's apparently a pretty reliable metric to estimate your VO2MAX, and to try to get your max heart rate. Love your videos!!
At school we were constantly subjected to the bleep test. It's a great fitness indicator and fun. As kids we used to set out own up and race each other. I think my best score was 13/7. I think the British runner Steve Cram exceeded level 20!
The problem with bleep and cooper tests which isn’t talked about is that speed isn’t fitness it’s a lot to do with howvyour built.You can’t dissociate someone heavy built with short legs like Rocky marciano(who was a fit man and notably prodigious trainer)from someone built like Steve cram,seb coe,or my favorite runner SteveO v ett.Its like a bike that’s small big wheeled and sturdy,it’s not as fast as a thin large wheeled light racing bike.Our builds are the same ,some are adapted to run faster,doesn’t mean fitter.
@@Bhuyakasha I think strictly you might be right, but what is nice about the beep test is that it takes the skill of being able to pace yourself out of the equation.
Oh my gosshh I realized the "being tired" part of the workout where I keep messing up my jump rope, I kinda just take a second to breathe and I just realized looking at one point and focusing on it helps me from messing up.
The basics have always and still reign supreme regarding diet and exercise. Little to no equipment, real food, sleep, simple exercises, listening to your body and consistency of effort.
With respect, the 400m is an *anareobic* effort, so it's the wrong measure of the effectiveness of a jump rope program. In fairness, you did allude to this at the end of the video.
It's an anaerobic effort for professionals but most average ppl tend to pace themselves as we get tired quicker. So the test and measurements soothe him and average ppl but it is not for professionals.
Jump rope *does allow for anaerobic exercise. Weight of the rope, consistency and effort all play a huge part. It's extremely subjective to say otherwise.
@@P0YAIS Not how it works. You don't just chop and change, you use energy systems simultaneously and the glycolytic system stays the dominant for intensities that are maintained for up to 2-3 minutes. So really wasn't a good way to test, bleep test makes much more sense
I think you took your resting heart rate going down as a bad thing. It's actually very good. A lot of long-distance runners resting heart rate can be in the 30s so it going down that much in a month is tremendous.
I’ve just been doing 30 seconds then a burpee in between, about 7 sets then end with a minute straight and I can barely finish just one minute, you are impressive
I tried a 30 day 1000 skips challenge at the beginning of quarintaine. Took 35 days to complete it and I felt fitter then ever. Over the course of the months I haven't really kept it up that much but just doing it here and there definitly helped me to skate longer
Not sure what that means Like keep your legs straight and jump ? Or what . Im a boxer i skipp alot but cant manage mlre than once I just chalked it up to being 140kg
I just found your videos and love them, I just started dieting and working out. I have lost 5lbs in 6 days but also want to improve my cardio. I will try jump rope
Nice! Based in Vancouver! I've been jumping rope for 2 months straight, I've seen in improvements in my upper body and core. Jumping rope is definitely underrated!
I wonder what would be the effects of having a diffenert cardio excercise every day of the week 🤔 Like... Monday 5km running, tuesday skipping rope, wensday swimming, thursday 400m sprint, friday parkour, saturday martial arts, sunday rest
unique challenge and another great Video! Your skills in presenting your efforts have grown a lot over the years. Great Work, thanks a lot for what you both do!
Malk Byrd hey mall, try learning different skip styles. It took me about 6 hours to learn 5 different skips and get good at them. This really makes roping fun because you have multiple ways to get down
I started just 2 weeks ago and I went from only being able to do 10 at a time to doing 1000 without breaks just by getting my technique right. It’s frustrating as a beginner as it looks so easy, it takes time and practice. Don’t get thrown off, keep trying and you’ll soon be a pro
Ollie Austin good to know. I bought ropes 2 months ago but can’t get past 5-10 ish in a row. Frustrating so i dropped it. Will start again and keep at it
Dude I love this video! It might actually be my favourite one you've done. Fascinating stuff about how athletes train most of the time in their Green Zone.
I would've love for you to use a device like a Garmin watch that gives you an idea about Vo2 Max to compare the before and after. Other than that I am going to be including jump rope to my routine
Love the video mate! Watching from downunder in Australia! Been skipping for the past month, I have no idea why I started… But I can’t stop haha . Love the difference I’ve noticed in mountain bike riding.
Actually that higher heart rate isn't a bad thing, because he was doing cardiovascular training. It tells that before his cardiovascular system was underused. After the training period his cardiovascular system, lungs and muscles are more closer to each other's performance level and also closer to their maximum. In comparison, now that I'm badly out of shape, I can't push my heart rate even close to it's maximum, because my muscles can't produce and sustain the effort required.
When exercising your heart rate should be higher to get your blood and oxygen to your muscles but a resting heart rate should be lower because your heart doesn’t have to work as hard.
Nice video man glad you made the effort on the sprint! I always start off at 100% though, the mentality of leave it all on the field from the get go. I do want to know what shirt that is though at the end 10:37. I need it in my life
I did 10 mins of skipping with HIIT style of easy skipping for 2 mins and 1 min of intense skipping. I died. Respect you dude for doing 30mins of skipping
Videos like this have gotten me off the couch four years ago and running a 5K three years ago. I made a bet with a coworker that I would run the 5K with them that year (Though they left me in their dust, I did finish at a run) Skipping rope helped my coordination and muscle building. Especially when you get tired jumping rope is very telling if your technique needs improvement.
@@AG-vj1ho maybe he just went for cinematography purposes. He knows its a nice view he enjoys it sometimes, but this time he wanted us to see something nice
Very good video... my daily rest heartbeat is between 57 to 61 on my fitbit with my cardio fitness score of 43-47 Good to Very Good. Though I have always had a jumping rope with me over last 30 years(kept travelling..be it in Bangalore or Chicago, New Jersey, SFO, London and back to India..one of the first things I bought when I settled in a new place)... I do it on an off .... good video to remind me to do it regularly ...
hey man! I just graduated with my BS in kinesiology, I've been jumping rope for the past 2 years. I ran into the problem of lack of intensity really quick with a standard rope. Look into weighted ropes, they really increase the intensity. Even just going to a 1/2 lb rope make a lot of difference.
This is really cool! Jump roping has definitely become one of my favorite ways to do cardio! I have a video on my channel of me learning how to do some cool, basic jump rope tricks! Would be awesome to see you try to take on the Challenge and learn some awesome tricks as well! 😁💪🏽 The tricks I learned were 1) the double under, 2) the boxer skip, 3) the double side swipe, 4) the criss cross and 5) double criss cross!
ive found when i do incline power walking or skipping to some fastish pace music not only do i not feel like i need to put in as much effort but my running gets better improvements than just running to improve my running
Interesting thanks - alot of videos mention jump rope as being good for posture correction too; you spoke about feeling your upper body working, do you think it is beneficial for posture? Cheers
I've been skipping a rope for a while. My advice to anyone would be to not completely replace all your other workouts with rope work. Injuries becomes the issue. Avoid the injuries. Confuse the body. Mix it up.
had a simple badminton morning session. was 20 double skips in a row. sounds easy but you screw it up so much that you end up doing way more than you think you would. good for coordination and fitness
@@__-wm9lu Assuming this is a joke comment or the most brain dead comment I have ever seen. Taking TRT when the person goal is to live a healthy life style makes no sense and yes his body would look different because he went from a sedentary lifestyle to a active style so there would be a lower percent of body-fat.
strategy knight you say active lifestyle. He does a bit every few months. Everything's a short term challenge. He should prep for the MOAB 240 or something where he'd have to train for longer than 30 days 🙄 I've stopped watching as many of these videos because there's a lot of flawed or misrepresentative information and none of the stuff he's doing is beneficial long term because it's done at such a minimal standard. I don't know if it's more or less healthy long term to be this way but it seems that such short term efforts aren't very beneficial at all. Be interesting to see if/how it affects long term health. Would also be very cool to see him spend a year or something dedicated to training for a specific sport as a long form video in addition to the other content
Yeah, there is something off. 157 after a 400 seems low also. If he's breathing hard under 160 his lactate threshold is pretty low. And a resting HR of 60 is relatively high for an athlete. Then to only go from 90 to 117 BPM after 20 burpees, something isn't working right.
@Bas Bakker I started using a chest strap a couple of weeks ago and it seems to give roughly the same results as the optical sensor in my Polar Vantage M, except... EXCEPT that the optical sensor seems to have a delay of at least 5-10 seconds, versus maybe 1-2 seconds from the chest strap sensor. I guess the OHR could be totally confused when he was doing burpees though, as it needs to be pretty solid on your wrist.
sheesh i never even thought of jumping rope before in the last few months i got into regularly exercising... but it sounds like a really good idea. thanks for the video!
Rope jumping is probably the most effective training in terms of calorie burn and ease of carrying of the ropes 🔥🔥🔥 Rowing is second best (maybe even better in terms of muscle build) but the machine is huge and you can't carry it...
@@weakboy6871 Trust me when I say rowing is one of the hardest things I've ever done. The workouts test your mental strength of enduring the pain. It got me to a Vo2 max of 75 in just 1.5 years!! (btw I'm 15 years old)
Appreciate the effort, but the title is talking about VO2 Max, a specific metabolic measure. I was expecting you to have actual measures from a metabolic test and not these other tests that you think correlate with V02 max.
Thats quite tricky with corona to get someone to take Bloodtest or let's you run on his VO2 Max Meter. But intensity and heartrate are quite good. You just have to keep the pace or heartrate constant and check if you improve on the variable part.
I am 45 and I typically do 30mins 4-5days a week. Sometimes i will do 10X 3min rounds with 30sec rest or straight 30min. However I will get out and run a couple of miles at least once a week. Mixing your routine up with 30 sec speed jumps helps alot. Once you learn how to skip rope within a routine, it will change how you look and feel!!!
Started getting a nice boxer like flow ,well for 40 secs then stop ,it’s a really graceful ,fun ,satisfying way to excercise ,it’s cool,5 minutes fair play that’s pretty impressive
one of the best things for people that are just getting into jumping rope and they are struggling with the timing actually skipping. is that instead of jumping over the rope as it comes towards you it is better to jump and then swing the rope under your feet while you are in the air. i know this sounds stupid but there is actually a difference and doing the later will make it so much easier
When I was a kid, my teacher told me and my class if we skipped twice a day for 2 minutes, combined with other activities, we will always be fit. I thank her to this day.
@@yungwine actually I got shin splints from jump rope on concrete too when I just started doing it but that is after years of inactivity and unhealthy lifestyle. Experience it for about 2 months then the body get used to it I guess so all is good.
Bro tip: Go to the track and count your steps to 100m. For me it's about 147 steps (left and right). That will help you figure out how far roughly a distance is. L145, R146, L147: 100m. Then start over for 200m, 300m, etc. Helps you gauge how far our you are. Military and other outfits use ranger beads, which are exactly that.
I'm currently doing 2,000 jump rope skips for 30 days. I'm on day 4 so far. The hardest thing about it for me is dealing with my frustration every time I trip lol.
My track coach used to always make us jump rope almost more than we would run. I thought it was dumb, however, we where D1 state champions 5 times in a row at that time. A lot of our mile and 2 mile runners got full ride scholarships. I can say from experience I felt the most in shape during that season.
How was the regiment of the skipping training?
How would a normal week or workout would look like with the jump rope? Is it just substituting recovery runs with jump rope or something similar?

this way you become smaller and it's easier to do doubles.
It's really bad on your knees if you dolphin kick everytime you double under. You can just adjust your rope or practice double under without landing so hard like he did.
S Don’t be rude.
@@Ignemfarem you got some weak ass knees. Anyways just land with your forefoot if you don't want to injure your knees
I’m a long way from doubles, but I took a screenshot of your suggestions for down the road. Thanks. 🙏😃
Does doing the motions of skipping without the rope give the same benefits?
Jump rope transformed my body and I’m addicted to it now. Still progressing everyday
I love your channel. Better than most content on UA-cam. Can just see the effort that went in.
Few months ago, I started doing 30 min of skiping everyday or 3000 jumps as fast as possible, it really improved my coordination, cardio and it helped me with my cut. Great video.
I'm doing 1500 in the same time 😢. I'm obese I guess that's the reason. I'm on my 13th day. Haven't checked my weight but I can feel the difference.
I wish I could jump 3000 skips a day.
I JUST posted my month long jump rope challenge so I know first hand that this wasn’t easy 😭 love the results and keep up the good work! 💪🏽
This guy has ZERO talent for any sport but still goes after it. Respect.
Kinda like most of us nerds lol...me included but we gotta still go after it
Bit rude. How do you figure that? I think he proves that it's not about talent, it's about skill and practice.
I think he's fit enough to be competent in most physical activities. In the reactions video. He's fit enough to become good to really good at boxing or martial arts.
ConspiracyJuice just the way he moves. As a athletic coach and physical therapist I I have been confronted with hundreds of people and I would say I can predict some talent. He moves not efficient or coordinated enough to be a athlete by no means. But I‘m totally surprised how he manages all these challenges and I respect him highly.
@@pillepalle3614 I can believe that, although I'd say practice and consistency holds more weight than talent. I still think it's a little rude to say he has "zero" talent, especially when he reads through these comments. It seems like he has a very average athletic ability - some strengths , some weaknesses - which makes it all the more impressive/motivational when he completes these feats.
Interesting experiment! And interestingly, I actually did a somewhat opposite experiment by chance. A good while back, I took a break from jumping rope for an entire month while I completed a challenge which involved running a few miles daily (in addition to certain calisthenics). When I returned to jumping rope, the maximum number of repetitions that I could perform for particular jump rope moves increased substantially. I was blown away by the increase in performance. Not only that, but I fell in love with running and bonuses were the incredible mental benefits I got as a result of running in addition to the physical ones. I ran track and cross country in school and did running as part of various sports, but I didn't run purely for enjoyment. I do now. Since that 'experiment', I've completed several events including an ultra marathon, marathon, and distances in between.
Are you saying cross-training works?!?!
You really do have the most interesting body / fitness experiments. I’m going to try some.
lower resting heart rate means your cardio vascular system gotten stronger, good job!
You should try doing a Pacer test (also called Beep Test), it's apparently a pretty reliable metric to estimate your VO2MAX, and to try to get your max heart rate. Love your videos!!
I hate the beep test lol. Yeah, it probably would work.
Isnt the cooper test better to determine vo2max?
At school we were constantly subjected to the bleep test. It's a great fitness indicator and fun. As kids we used to set out own up and race each other. I think my best score was 13/7. I think the British runner Steve Cram exceeded level 20!
The problem with bleep and cooper tests which isn’t talked about is that speed isn’t fitness it’s a lot to do with howvyour built.You can’t dissociate someone heavy built with short legs like Rocky marciano(who was a fit man and notably prodigious trainer)from someone built like Steve cram,seb coe,or my favorite runner SteveO v ett.Its like a bike that’s small big wheeled and sturdy,it’s not as fast as a thin large wheeled light racing bike.Our builds are the same ,some are adapted to run faster,doesn’t mean fitter.
@@Bhuyakasha I think strictly you might be right, but what is nice about the beep test is that it takes the skill of being able to pace yourself out of the equation.
Oh my gosshh I realized the "being tired" part of the workout where I keep messing up my jump rope, I kinda just take a second to breathe and I just realized looking at one point and focusing on it helps me from messing up.
Huh. Thanks man, imma try this!
I like how your channel shows that anyone can become good at anything!
I literally just started a jump rope journey yesterday so this is great timing!!
One of my favourite quotes by Lao Tzu goes like this; He who conquers others is strong. He who conquers himself is mighty. 💪💯 Stay mighty people.
The basics have always and still reign supreme regarding diet and exercise. Little to no equipment, real food, sleep, simple exercises, listening to your body and consistency of effort.
This channel needs to be at 1m+ subscribers already
I subscribed after seeing this comment. totally agree
He just made it!
With respect, the 400m is an *anareobic* effort, so it's the wrong measure of the effectiveness of a jump rope program. In fairness, you did allude to this at the end of the video.
It's an anaerobic effort for professionals but most average ppl tend to pace themselves as we get tired quicker. So the test and measurements soothe him and average ppl but it is not for professionals.
Considering it took him 80 something seconds, I'd say it became Aerobic. But I do see your point for faster runners.
@@karimguled2923 exactly
Jump rope *does allow for anaerobic exercise. Weight of the rope, consistency and effort all play a huge part. It's extremely subjective to say otherwise.
@@P0YAIS Not how it works. You don't just chop and change, you use energy systems simultaneously and the glycolytic system stays the dominant for intensities that are maintained for up to 2-3 minutes. So really wasn't a good way to test, bleep test makes much more sense
I think you took your resting heart rate going down as a bad thing. It's actually very good. A lot of long-distance runners resting heart rate can be in the 30s so it going down that much in a month is tremendous.
not in 30's probably 40's
@@_uchiha yea, it is rarely in the 30s
@@Yetis-are-cool- nice
@@_uchiha One of the top cyclists in the tour de france had a resting heart rate of 28. Miguel Indurain is his name.

I’ve just been doing 30 seconds then a burpee in between, about 7 sets then end with a minute straight and I can barely finish just one minute, you are impressive
I tried a 30 day 1000 skips challenge at the beginning of quarintaine. Took 35 days to complete it and I felt fitter then ever. Over the course of the months I haven't really kept it up that much but just doing it here and there definitly helped me to skate longer
Pro tip: for double jumps don't bend your knees, use foot flexion to get the height.
Not sure what that means
Like keep your legs straight and jump ? Or what .
Im a boxer i skipp alot but cant manage mlre than once
I just chalked it up to being 140kg
@@howmuchbeforechamp Yes ur legs should be straight. To get the height you need, imagine doing calf raises.
@@howmuchbeforechamp yes keep your knees from bending
why?
I think there should be slight knee flexion to absorb the impact
This inspired me to try this instead of my run, its harder than expected! I love it so far
I just found your videos and love them, I just started dieting and working out. I have lost 5lbs in 6 days but also want to improve my cardio. I will try jump rope

Bro I legit just started jumping rope 2 days ago. I’m not the best at it.(I’ve never jumped roped before.) Then I seen this video straight bliss
Malk Byrd hey mall, try learning different skip styles. It took me about 6 hours to learn 5 different skips and get good at them. This really makes roping fun because you have multiple ways to get down
I started just 2 weeks ago and I went from only being able to do 10 at a time to doing 1000 without breaks just by getting my technique right. It’s frustrating as a beginner as it looks so easy, it takes time and practice. Don’t get thrown off, keep trying and you’ll soon be a pro
Ollie Austin good to know. I bought ropes 2 months ago but can’t get past 5-10 ish in a row. Frustrating so i dropped it. Will start again and keep at it
@@ollieaustin8524 You count your skips ?
Dude I love this video! It might actually be my favourite one you've done. Fascinating stuff about how athletes train most of the time in their Green Zone.
Literally was talking about jumping rope with my friend this morning. Excited to start jump roping
Loving these videos that popped up today! thank you for creating them :)
I would've love for you to use a device like a Garmin watch that gives you an idea about Vo2 Max to compare the before and after. Other than that I am going to be including jump rope to my routine
Amazing video. I wanna train at home for it. I just bought and speed jumping robe today.
Started skipping with a weighted rope just over a week ago. Loving it.
How’s it going now?
Love the video mate! Watching from downunder in Australia! Been skipping for the past month, I have no idea why I started… But I can’t stop haha . Love the difference I’ve noticed in mountain bike riding.
Actually that higher heart rate isn't a bad thing, because he was doing cardiovascular training. It tells that before his cardiovascular system was underused. After the training period his cardiovascular system, lungs and muscles are more closer to each other's performance level and also closer to their maximum.
In comparison, now that I'm badly out of shape, I can't push my heart rate even close to it's maximum, because my muscles can't produce and sustain the effort required.
Man i can't even run
When exercising your heart rate should be higher to get your blood and oxygen to your muscles but a resting heart rate should be lower because your heart doesn’t have to work as hard.
Nice video man glad you made the effort on the sprint! I always start off at 100% though, the mentality of leave it all on the field from the get go. I do want to know what shirt that is though at the end 10:37. I need it in my life
I did 10 mins of skipping with HIIT style of easy skipping for 2 mins and 1 min of intense skipping. I died. Respect you dude for doing 30mins of skipping
Good work! I have been jump roping since July and I will tell u it beats the hell out of jogging which I am not interested in doing anymore.
When you do the double unders you don’t wanna tuck in your body you wanna keep it nice and simple..
What a magnificent portrayal of the highly underrated benefits of skipping. Well done gentlemen!

Videos like this have gotten me off the couch four years ago and running a 5K three years ago. I made a bet with a coworker that I would run the 5K with them that year (Though they left me in their dust, I did finish at a run) Skipping rope helped my coordination and muscle building. Especially when you get tired jumping rope is very telling if your technique needs improvement.

Though I have always had a jumping rope with me over last 30 years(kept travelling..be it in Bangalore or Chicago, New Jersey, SFO, London and back to India..one of the first things I bought when I settled in a new place)... I do it on an off .... good video to remind me to do it regularly ...
If you read this, I hope July is a successful month for you. ❤
You've inspired me to create a self-development channel and I'm forever thankful
hey man! I just graduated with my BS in kinesiology, I've been jumping rope for the past 2 years. I ran into the problem of lack of intensity really quick with a standard rope. Look into weighted ropes, they really increase the intensity. Even just going to a 1/2 lb rope make a lot of difference.
This is really cool! Jump roping has definitely become one of my favorite ways to do cardio! I have a video on my channel of me learning how to do some cool, basic jump rope tricks! Would be awesome to see you try to take on the Challenge and learn some awesome tricks as well! 😁💪🏽 The tricks I learned were 1) the double under, 2) the boxer skip, 3) the double side swipe, 4) the criss cross and 5) double criss cross!
ive found when i do incline power walking or skipping to some fastish pace music not only do i not feel like i need to put in as much effort but my running gets better improvements than just running to improve my running
I got a cross rope and it’s the only jump rope where even when I mess up I never hit my arms or ankles. Worth the cost for that alone.
really? because I hate the pain of the rope whipping my forearms, but the problem is the crossrope is very expensive
so i don't know if it is worth the price
I have been rope jumping from last 2 months .
It had helped me a lot in losing fat around my stomach area without dieting 😊
Interesting thanks - alot of videos mention jump rope as being good for posture correction too; you spoke about feeling your upper body working, do you think it is beneficial for posture? Cheers
Awesome video. Skipping is rope is a true life hack!
I've been skipping a rope for a while. My advice to anyone would be to not completely replace all your other workouts with rope work. Injuries becomes the issue. Avoid the injuries. Confuse the body. Mix it up.
had a simple badminton morning session. was 20 double skips in a row. sounds easy but you screw it up so much that you end up doing way more than you think you would. good for coordination and fitness
9:33 It is natural to land on the lateral side of the foot. It assists in shock absorption. Landing flat is actually unnatural.
Hey, got some sources on that?
I love that you did this and hope you are still doing it. I've been doing jump rope competitively for 6 years
can we see a pic of u 4 ish years ago (or whenever u started this excersie yt thing. and a now pic
He will look exactly the same. This guy has to get on TRT absolutely NO progress. Too many soy shakes.
@@__-wm9lu Assuming this is a joke comment or the most brain dead comment I have ever seen. Taking TRT when the person goal is to live a healthy life style makes no sense and yes his body would look different because he went from a sedentary lifestyle to a active style so there would be a lower percent of body-fat.
strategy knight you say active lifestyle. He does a bit every few months. Everything's a short term challenge. He should prep for the MOAB 240 or something where he'd have to train for longer than 30 days 🙄 I've stopped watching as many of these videos because there's a lot of flawed or misrepresentative information and none of the stuff he's doing is beneficial long term because it's done at such a minimal standard. I don't know if it's more or less healthy long term to be this way but it seems that such short term efforts aren't very beneficial at all. Be interesting to see if/how it affects long term health. Would also be very cool to see him spend a year or something dedicated to training for a specific sport as a long form video in addition to the other content
@@__-wm9lu Actually, at some point for a video he got pretty ripped.
@@saltandvinegar2420 he has never been close to anything I'd call ripped

I thought about making a video of doing jump rope for 30 days about a year ago and here I am still thinking about it.
I'm wondering how accurate that heartrate monitor is. 117bpm after those 20 burpees given how difficult it was for you? Seems a bit low.
Yeah, there is something off. 157 after a 400 seems low also. If he's breathing hard under 160 his lactate threshold is pretty low. And a resting HR of 60 is relatively high for an athlete. Then to only go from 90 to 117 BPM after 20 burpees, something isn't working right.
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Definitely not an accurate reading even after that run for an all out effort.
@Bas Bakker I started using a chest strap a couple of weeks ago and it seems to give roughly the same results as the optical sensor in my Polar Vantage M, except... EXCEPT that the optical sensor seems to have a delay of at least 5-10 seconds, versus maybe 1-2 seconds from the chest strap sensor. I guess the OHR could be totally confused when he was doing burpees though, as it needs to be pretty solid on your wrist.
Awesome video guys. I only wish you had a before and after photo so we could have seen the impact skipping had on your body/weight.
Diving into 30 minutes skipping right away is so hard core
sheesh i never even thought of jumping rope before in the last few months i got into regularly exercising... but it sounds like a really good idea. thanks for the video!
Rope jumping is probably the most effective training in terms of calorie burn and ease of carrying of the ropes 🔥🔥🔥 Rowing is second best (maybe even better in terms of muscle build) but the machine is huge and you can't carry it...
Also can literally be free and i think deadlift is better than rowing
@@weakboy6871 Trust me when I say rowing is one of the hardest things I've ever done. The workouts test your mental strength of enduring the pain. It got me to a Vo2 max of 75 in just 1.5 years!! (btw I'm 15 years old)
@@nikhilramaraju2545 thanks for the response maybe im gonna start to rowing im 16 lol
This guys really changed his body doing all these challenges. He’s fit right now.
Appreciate the effort, but the title is talking about VO2 Max, a specific metabolic measure. I was expecting you to have actual measures from a metabolic test and not these other tests that you think correlate with V02 max.
Thats quite tricky with corona to get someone to take Bloodtest or let's you run on his VO2 Max Meter. But intensity and heartrate are quite good. You just have to keep the pace or heartrate constant and check if you improve on the variable part.
Manuel That doesn’t test VO2 Max. Those tests are very different.
Then the video should't have VO2 max in the title, since he never tests his VO2 max, pandemic or no pandemic.
You're so rude. One, it's Covid. Two, he doesn't need a measure. He is literally talking about the benefits.
No, he is "literally" talking about VO2 Max.
I am 45 and I typically do 30mins 4-5days a week. Sometimes i will do 10X 3min rounds with 30sec rest or straight 30min. However I will get out and run a couple of miles at least once a week. Mixing your routine up with 30 sec speed jumps helps alot. Once you learn how to skip rope within a routine, it will change how you look and feel!!!
I literally just finished skipping so this is convenient
They are watching
💀😂literally bout to say the same thing
just started skipping rope a few days ago, down with big brother!
Started getting a nice boxer like flow ,well for 40 secs then stop ,it’s a really graceful ,fun ,satisfying way to excercise ,it’s cool,5 minutes fair play that’s pretty impressive
Nobody:
Me during the entire video: wait, I know that city, that’s Vancouver, but.... no that’s definitely Vancouver
one of the best things for people that are just getting into jumping rope and they are struggling with the timing actually skipping. is that instead of jumping over the rope as it comes towards you it is better to jump and then swing the rope under your feet while you are in the air. i know this sounds stupid but there is actually a difference and doing the later will make it so much easier
When I was a kid, my teacher told me and my class if we skipped twice a day for 2 minutes, combined with other activities, we will always be fit. I thank her to this day.
I love ur vids keep it up

Bro tip: Go to the track and count your steps to 100m. For me it's about 147 steps (left and right). That will help you figure out how far roughly a distance is. L145, R146, L147: 100m. Then start over for 200m, 300m, etc. Helps you gauge how far our you are. Military and other outfits use ranger beads, which are exactly that.
