    In this video I took on a 30 day jump rope challenge to see how it could transform m VO2 max. I've never taken on a jump rope challenge before, so I was interested in how it could improve my cardio and my overall VO2 max. So hopefully you guys enjoy this skipping 30 day challenge, and hopefully it can help you with your fitness training.
    Have a great week guys! Cheers.

    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.

      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.)

    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.

  • @GordonGavin
    @GordonGavin Před 3 lety +17

    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.

    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.

  • @TheYoungFilmmaker
    @TheYoungFilmmaker Před 3 lety +105

    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 :)

    • @colinm366
      @colinm366 Před 3 lety +6

      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!

    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.

    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.

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.
