I love it I went down from 195 to 168 in just 4 months now I can actually see muscle in my abs I'm so excited. All this thru pure jump rope 20 mins daily and about 20 pushups a day
Zen Dude Fitness I want to be able to transform my body even more I believe In a few more months I should have that physique but it's gonna be hard since I haven't really changed my diet except I drastically cut back on soda
I started your 4-week challenge last week and I'm loving it!! I ordered a crossrope starter set to replace the cheap rope I've been using. It's coming in the mail today and I'm so excited!!!
Hey, I'm planning to get those myself but I'm worried about wear and tear on concrete floors. Can you please tell me if those would last long on concrete? Thanks.
You guys are so cool and informing, I've never even put a thought into picking up the rope and going at it until I saw your videos... after a couple of weeks I've improved so much and it has honestly become one of my favorite things to do.. addicting almost... peace and keep up the good work
I have the heavy weighted set that has all but the 3lb limited ed one. But the difference between the 2lb and the 1 lb is a world of difference. I suggest trying the one lb. You can still do tricks workout your forearms and grip giving out
mpowerewd22 technocos The Vegetarian Baker - the heavy ropes are NO JOKE. They are 4 and 8 times heavier than your average rope. Could you imagine doing 4 to 8 times more of anything in fitness? LIke doing 40 pushups instead of 10!?!?
@@treysmith2788 The overload principle basically states that an exercise must become more challenging over the course of a training program in order to continue to produce results. In the context of strength training, this is done by adding weight to the bar
@@treysmith2788 Hypertrophy is the increase in the size of existing skeletal muscle fibers (Goldberg et al. 1975). The National Academy of Sports Medicine (2018) defines it as "the enlargement of skeletal muscle fibers in response to being recruited to develop increased levels of tension, as seen in resistance training. [It] is characterized by an increase in the cross-sectional area of individual muscle fibers resulting from an increase in myofibril proteins
My local dollar store has started getting in fitness supplies including a weighted jump rope. I am thinking about getting one to try this out, hence why I am here. Sure the dollar store ones are probably cheaply made, but its a start. I'll eventually work my way up to a heavier better made one.
Damn! That 2lbs rope looks killer. You're whipping it very slow on video. That shit will be my next level next year... Love it! RESPEK to my Zen homies
I climb stairs for 55 minutes and jump rope for 5 minutes, I do this 4 days a week, I can feel the burn in my arms with a heavy rope. My goal is to jump rope for one hour 4 days a week, climbing stairs and getting experienced with 5 minutes of jump rope is where I'm at now, lift weights 3 days a week and eat at a calorie deficit, today is a big day for me because after finishing my jump rope work out I got so excited and im like wow! I'm really starting to love working out, it feels so good!
Its been 2 months I have started my weight loss journey. Daily I do 10 miles of cardio (Combination of Walking and Jogging). I nearly spent 3 hours on cardio. I have heard that only doing Cardio without weights will not be good for body shape. I hate going to gym. I prefer outdoor activities. Does Jump Ropes helps builds muscle mass for upper body so that I do not have to lift weights(dumbells) and reduce body fats?
Any rope. We love the 1/2 pound when getting started. the weight helps you "feel" the rope but it's light enough that you can still get intense with it.
Ive been using speedrope started jump rope 40min a day for over a month, I noticed my body wasnt proportional, only my legs got toned so now im considering to buy heavy weighted jumprope hopefully it trim my arms and torso.
In thailand before we start the training we do 10 minutes with heave ropes. In the first day I couldn't even do it for 30 seconds straight but after 2 weeks I was seeing improvements
Great video as usual. I've been jump roping for about 2 weeks now and the only problem I have is that my arms get much more tired than my legs do.(Its not a weighted jump rope) The only reason I stop early is that my arms really start to hurt. Do you think there's anything wrong with my form or anything else? I can say that my arms aren't that weak(as far as I know). Thanks
Sammy Dore - Asura TheSpeedDemon - Jump rope challenges your whole BODY! Including smaller muscles in your arms, forearms and legs that you may not be used to using... This is why it's effective! Just take longer breaks as you build strength and you'll be ninjas in NO TIME!
I used to go to gym..but right now due to my work schedule can't go to gym for last 6 months.... I am gaining weight..will doing jump-rope everyday morning be a good solution for me?
Thank you very much for this, i was looking for this exactly info in spanish but i couldn't find nothing... Man you're a beast... Thanks a lot... Subscribed!!!
Thank you for making this video. I am considering of making jumping rope part of my health journey my health goal is to reach 150 Ibs and prevent diabetes. I am hoping to make jumping rope part of my lifestyle.
crossrope used to have a 3lbs rope, u guys ever use that? I find the 1lbs rope difficult for me to do for over like 90 seconds so i can only imagine the 3lbs rope being near impossible for me to do more than like 20 seconds
looking forward to the heavy ropes I have just purchased. I have actually begun getting addicted to "cardio" doing 30 minutes of jump rope consecutively with a speed rope like 4 to 6 times a week, for the last two month (in addition to my regular workout). I have to eat sooooo much atm :D
I just ordered the cross rope starter kit from amazon and just wondering if it’s ok to use it on bare cement or should I get a mat to protect the rope from getting trashed? I’m so excited I started really jumping bout a month ago n can’t believe how fast my body changed like being more ripped!! I’m so hooked on rope jumping!! Been using an old rope prolly from Walmart which I’m still gonna use just thot I’d try weighted ropes to up my game!! Thanks for ur channel n ur informative n awesome workouts which I’ve meshed in w/ my weight training. Thank you.
starhit - if you can afford the mat we suggest is 100%. It's great for your body and you can really increase the life of your ropes! The agility rope lasts a long time on concrete, but since the heavy ropes are (heavier) they tend to wear a little quicker.
Hey guys. What your opinion on doing One day pull-ups/chin-ups/dips/push-ups/heavy squats/heavy deadlifts. Not a ridiculous amount but at least a total of 200 reps between all of those. And another day. Just skipping. I haven't haven't yet started to try tricks so I can only do normal skipping. I've only just started to watch some of yours videos.
I'm a beginner and I bought a 2lb jump rope. O find it kind of hard to because it's slower than a regular rope. I find myself jumping 2 times before jumping over the rope
Been wanting to do cardio for a while but can never be bothered going for a run and also I think running is bad for your knees. I'm gonna grab one of these.
@@travv88 low impact and effective, also spice it up with a weighted vest, ruck sack(or book bag with anything to add weight). Walk my friend, walk👊🏿💪🏾 good fortune on ur fitness journey, sendin love from Cleveland
Hey, can I please know if these are durable if I jump on concrete floors? Also are the handles durable so if I accidentally drop them they won't break? These are some prolems I'm facing with my current rope. Please help me thanks!
The equipment is very good. But unfortunately the price is expensive because I live abroad. But I will buy My favorite channel. Everything about rope skipping can be found on this channel. I wish success, plenty of exercises! Greetings from Turkey.
How do they hold up on concrete? I use a speed rope, with the wire cable inside, but they don't last long on concrete. (I jump outdoors in the driveway so need something that'll last.) Also, is there any cutting involved to adjust the ropes to my height? Thanks, in advance, for answers to my questions.
Pam - you'll need to order the right size for you (Sizing info at crossrope.com). We use the almost exclusively on concrete and they last really well. Of course, friction eventually wins all battles, but the crossrope will outlast your regular coated cable rope.
lads, I use a weighted handled leather rope as i tend to find the cheaper vinyl/plastic ones easily snap when constantly smashed against the concrete, which is where I use my rope 90% of the time would you advise sticking with this, or will these jump ropes you use stand up to concrete garden slab type material
So my cheapy $5 rope is about to split apart and I am going to invest in a heavy rope. The question is: how heavy should it be? Keep in mind I am a lady, a not-so-strong one either. 😖 Still I would hate to spend money on a 2lb rope and have too much difficulty with it initially. Any advice on choosing the right weight for beginners?
C John - the crossrope system is AWESOME! Part of the reason we love it is that you can change out ropes for lighter/heavier options (or as they wear). We normally suggest the 1 pound rope (2 is sooooo much) but you'll probably be amazed at how heavy the 1/2 pound rope is... If you are at all nervous about using a heavy rope, go for the half pound. It's a great stepping stone to the one pound intensity rope! get an agility rope here: www.crossrope.com/zendudefitness and then add the 1/2 pound rope at check out!
The problem with cheap ropes is that you get what you pay for. Find something that doesn't stretch, has a little weight (4 oz) and is well rated. Crossropes last a LONG time and are worth every penny. Don't waste your money (and time) figuring this out. Just grab a great rope!
Asma Jahan yeah the amapro mayweather uses is like £5. you can get cheaper. you don't need a crossrope. boxers don't use expensive ropes. circus skippers seem to use beaded ropes.
Kris Vickers I was going to give Rush Athletics weighted rope a go, but I found a cheaper one in the UK. When my cheap speed rope gives in, I'll try the money rope, or the crossrope agility jump rope, if they get their distributor in Ireland. The customs and delivery charges are too high
@손Son i tried the same rope from a different company. you can shorten them, but the screws can not be put back in easily. when you try to srew them in the screws scroll, and you can not turn them or thighten them. the quality of the screws varies greatly. the ropes are not as thick and heavy as the crossropes. I really do like the metal handles though. But they are a bit small. The wayza rope is a cheap alibaba product that can be bought in bulk and branded with your own logo. it is just a cheap china wholesale product. below is a link to one of the Wholesale sellers. www.alibaba.com/product-detail/ProCircle-Exercise-Equipment-Frosted-Buckle-Jump_62418701024.html?spm=a2700.wholesale.deiletai6.8.61cc2584rOqoZB and another from a different seller: www.alibaba.com/product-detail/ProCircle-Fitness-Equipment-Double-bearing-Weighted_62306596841.html?spm=a2700.wholesale.deiletai6.3.347d1fa1J6fuKt
I checked the crossropes on your site. On the site it said that your ropes do not come with handles. Do you have a recommended site or a place to buy the right handles for your ropes? Thanks
To gain weight, you want to make sure you're eating for those goals. Check out our macro calculator here www.jumpropedudes.com/jump-rope-dudes-calculator The Get Fit bundle would be your best option. That's the 1/4, 1/2, 1, and 2 pounds. Use DOTHETHING for 10% off! www.crossrope.com/jumpropedudes
All ropes do. But the best for that is the speed bag. That's what its for.they say it's for hand eye coordination but you can hit it without looking at it
What if I like the Get Lean set but I want to use a weighted rope? Will the 1/2 pound rope that comes with the Get Lean set suffice for heavy rope workouts? Or could I get the 1 lb rope and use it with the Get Lean handles?
I gained weight after I started doing jumrope but I know that I also got lean because of the jeans I wear. Would there be a weight gain of like 4-5 pounds in a month of jumprope? I used to lift a few years back and was built good amount.
I bought the lean set and I jump better with the 1/2 lb rope then I do with 1/4lb. Is this normal? Is it ok just to jump with that exclusively? At least till I get better. I'm getting the strong set for Christmas I'm afraid I'll never touch the 1/4 again lol
Jayson Scaccia - totally. Jump rope is ALL ABOUT rope speed. but you can only increase rope speed with loads of practice. Getting that rope speed way up with a light rope (so you can feel the feedback) takes time. One of the best ways to pass this is to find your rhythm with a heavier rope :)
Ryan Yeung - heavy ropes are going to challenge your muscles more. You'll get stronger! but if you're number one goal is to pack on lean muscle like Dwayne Johnson, you probably wanna hit the gym.
im a beginner i do 15mins everyday, will u suggest me a speed rope or heavy rope ? or 10mins speed rope and 5mins heavy rope? (using regular rope rn) btw good vid as per mate
Height is function of genetics. Jump rope (or any other activity) can’t modify your genes.... but jumping can help with your posture and make you stand a little taller.
i have 2lbs crossrope is that goood for weight loss and workout??? and i does my 2-3 circut workout of 8 reps with ease... just feel burn in my shoulders 😊😊😊
Simarjit Singh - jump ropes are great for fat loss, but if you are only spinning it 8 times, you aren't burning a lot of calories. If you can only do 8 reps with your rope, get a lighter rope and do the free four week challenge.
Simarjit Singh - i'm not following, but it's simple. follow the free four week challenge and stop counting skips. www.jumpropedudes.com/survey (it's free - what do you have to lose?? some fat??)
I have a tumor on the back of my head. If the rope hits it, will I be ok? I have to wear helmets when I do outdoor activities. Will I be ok jump roping helmet free?
@@JumpRopeDudes for real broooo. I fuckin loved my first set of crossrope... I didn't really think that shit could be topped... But I bought the infinity n holy shit. They are way smoother.
