 What's up players? What's going on ladies and gentlemen? Dan Whitmer from ZenDude Fitness and today we are going to answer one of the most asked questions in our community which is how do you get the ZenDude body and more specifically how to get this body simply by jumping rope. As many of you guys will notice our fitness channel is unlike many other fitness channels in that we're guys but we don't really promote this huge muscular physique. We focus more on speed, agility, mobility, fun and freedom. Okay so we want to look lean, we want to look good in a suit also nice and lean and fast. Let's say for example if you're doing some kind of fight, if you're a dancer, if you're a boxer or something like that, a soccer player that's the kind of physique that we promote here. That is why we chose the jump rope because it's by far one of the best tools that you can use for getting that lean and fit ZenDude body in less time. So as we've discussed in previous videos Brandon and I used to be bigger frame guys who have always had a lot of muscle mass and we just needed in order to get this ZenDude physique that's very lean we needed to just lose a large amount of body fat and the jump rope is absolutely one of the best tools out there for doing so. Jumping rope is a calorie cooker. It has been researched that if you jump rope for 10 minutes that's the equivalence of doing 30 minutes of jogging and not only that that's not even taking into consideration the fact that you might be using a heavier rope which torques all of your muscles and what I mean is works all of your muscles in your upper body and also down into your legs and your calves but everything's being worked. So guys the reason jumping rope helps get that lean sculpted ZenDude physique is because first and foremost you are working every single muscle in your body. In your upper body you have everything from your forearms muscles in your wrists biceps shoulders especially definitely if you're having if you're using a way to handle rope you're going to feel it a lot in your shoulders helping you sculpt that nice lean frame with the little little caps on the side here nice separation in between your biceps and your shoulder muscle. In addition to just helping you burn a bunch of body fat the resistance that you add to the jump rope is also what helps you sculpt that sprinter or soccer player physique. By increasing the resistance that is rotating around your body you are increasing muscle recruitment and engagement allowing for a higher calorie burn and also improving your endurance you get a faster heart rate elevation allowing you to secrete more hormones that are optimal for burning fat such as HDH. For example when we're sculpting that lean physique take for example Conor McGregor's physique or Cristiano Ronaldo that we've already done breakdowns on. If you notice those guys have a very lean torso and also bigger cap shoulders that give them that kind of swimmer lean muscular physique look. For those of you looking to get that more V-cut physique jump rope can be a great component for that because again you're shredding up the you're shredding a lot of calories and burning up a lot of fat in your midsection giving you that lean torso but you're able to hang on to lean muscle mass and maybe even build a little bit of lean muscle mass up in those shoulders giving you that diamond cut physique. And to all of you guys who ask us can I get a six pack jumping rope the answer is absolutely yes but remember guys the reason that you're getting a six pack isn't because you're doing a bunch of abs it's because you're eating in a calorie deficit and losing body fat and at the same time doing a lot of these high intensity workouts with the jump rope to make sure that you're burning a lot of calories at the same time. What are you doing the whole time that you're jumping rope you're on your calves so jumping rope is a great way to sculpt not only your calves but also hamstrings quads and even these guys right here your butt your fanny. Your body is just a science equation getting the jump rope physique getting that zen dude physique getting that super lean and muscular physique that we always talk about is just a matter of understanding where you're at and where you need to go in that science equation. For example if you're someone who is a little bit thinner and you need to build muscle our recommendation of course is to hit the weights a little bit do a lot of push-ups and pull-ups yes you should still be jumping rope to keep that body fat percentage low but you want to be eating in a calorie surplus so you're able to pack on muscle. Now if you're a bigger guy like Brandon and I started out and you already have a decent amount of muscle mass then listen all you need to do is lose that body fat and what better way to do it what a what a better more enjoyable way to do it than to jump rope in these high intensity formats like the workouts that you see on this channel also in the free four-week challenge that we have as well that like I said is linked in the description which you should check out.
