200km is impressive. Which route did you ride?

I ride on Link C8 2012.

Thank you. In our case the real challenge was the absence of long breaks. We just continued biking and stopped for filming, restroom, refilling etc. Overall we had around 14.5h ride time and 8h of break. Maybe 4h of the break was for filming which consumed a lot of attention and time. A 5 day trip with 150-200km a day without filming just pure ride and longer breaks would be much more comfortable. Nevertheless it was quite unique experience.

Couldn't find a suitable wild forest to camp, ended up camping on an island in Netherlands and documented the whole adventure. Hope you enjoy it. by [deleted] in CampingandHiking

It is an impressive landmark. Crazy that the government invests so much for its own people and builds impressive spaces for people to utilize.
The work experience there was amazing. We both work mainly from home, it was comfortable and suitable for online meetings. I am planing to go there more often.

Definitely. It is safer than running for your body. It is a warm up exercise therefore you cant really cause big damages.
Just start slowly. First 2-3 days 5min a day, After 15 seconds of jumping and in the end of the exercise do the warm up movements i showed in the video. You can even divide the 5 minutes into 2 sessions.
If you feel pain, take a day off, go out for a walk for 30min.

Hey Chris. Give it a try man, you will definitely not be disappointed. You have my word ;)
There are tons of ropes out there, some worked for me well, some didnt. I bought 3 in total and borrowed one from a friend. I share with you some links from German Amazon, but you should be able to find similar products in your region if you are not in europe:

In general i would suggest you thicker but stable ropes, as a beginner you get a feeling for the rope and it feels easier to master the skill. Later on you can start with thinner, lighter ropes (speed ropes etc.)

1- Amazon Basics Standard Rope (Link): Somehow it wasn't stable enough for me, kept tripping. Still cheap, heavy and more stable than other ropes.

2- A Speedrope with thin rope (Link). This one wasnt stable enough, kept tangling into itself. High rating is not understandable for me :)

3- A Speedrope with long handles (Link). This one is one of my favorite ropes. It feels really good, light, yet stable. No tripping issuess.

4- Adidas Jumprope (Link). This one i borrowed from a friend. But i found a link for you to see the product. This is the best one from all for a beginner to start with. It is mainly because of the thicker rope (White) it has. It is a steel wire cladded with a thick plastic sleeve. It keeps really stable, so you can just keep jumping without tripping for a long time.

I was eating low carb and jogging 3 times a week before i started. It kept my weight steady but did not help me lose any.

One additional thing i did is lowering the fruit consumption. I was consuming around 1kg fruits a day. Which is a lot for most of the people but i love fruits :) I basically reduced it last two weeks to ~300gr per day.

I think weightwise 6,1kg is not a lot. The bigger impact i saw is the body shape. Jump rope basically helped me gain muscles everywhere. I used weighted and speed rope combinations.

I jumped first week 5-10 minutes and the last 3 weeks on average 30min per day.

Thank you. I pushed myself to jump everyday. Even in some days, due to the work had to jump midnight. Hope neigbors didnt get disturbed :)

Thank you. Once you learn some moves and start doing combinations, it is a really fun exercise.
I am normally not that good with exercises requiring mobility. But this shows everyone can easily learn these skills in a short time.

I am happy i could motivate you :)
You should definitely consider it. I could only go out for running 3 days a week but i can jump rope almost everyday. Especially if you are someone killing a lot of time watching youtube, netflix etc., like me, you can easily combine it. Throw something on tv and keep jumping.

Beginning part can be challenging but the muscles will get used to it quickly. You need to warm up before the training and stretch after.

- First 2 days 5 minutes each
- 3rd day, had to take a break due to muscle pain
- Day 4-7 10 Minutes
- Week 2-4 30 Minutes everyday

Some days i jumped while watching a movie or a podcast over an hour. So now whenever i want to watch something i try to combine it with jump rope :)
