Hello there, please I need help with jumping, for start I need to admit that iam fat and without shape, I wanna change it, but it's jumping good way to get in shape? I having problem to jump because my legs are hurting.. With cardio and breathing is no problem, but my legs are.. When I jumping in later rounds my legs are like stone and I can't even jump anymore 😂

I started easy 10seconds jump and 10sec rest and every week iam adding 5sec

Now iam at 40s jump and 40s rest

Doing this 24mins for now.

Should I change volume or find something else until I get slimmer?😂

I am 112kg and 190cm

I lost 6kg by this but I have these pain in my legs.. 😂 I doing this every day except of weekends - that's rest 😂

But last week my legs was so fcked that I skip 1day..

Thanks for advices 🙏

Hey everyone,

So I started trying to skip a few days ago and I think I might have over done it. I still stumble quite often and can only do around 10 full skips back to back. But I kinda did 40-60min from day 1 to day 4, and the inner region around my knees has started to hurt.

Should I stop for a few days and then restart ?

How much time should I do when I restart ? 10,15,20 min ?

Any advice would be helpful.

I jump rope 350+ days out of 365 days in a year. Is it normal? I skip for 1-2 hours daily with 1-5 minutes break between intense jump rope sessions that last 10-15 minutes till I'm hungry and stamina declines.

I've not done a decent session since end of April. It's just too hot!

Edit: fixed bad grammar

​

Got in 45 minutes of jump rope and added some workouts too. The diet wasn’t the best today, but I’m not going to let that take away from the progress.

Three days in. I’m building the habit, getting stronger, and learning to stay consistent even when everything isn’t perfect.

Day 3 done.

Can anyone gift me a high quality jump rope? I'm skipping from last 6 years regularly but I'm being limited to use only standard PVC chinese ropes because of no high quality jump ropes available in my country.
