 So you're thinking about jumping rope, but before you get started you want to know is it going to give me the results that I actually want? In this video, we're going to give you a peek into our worlds both Dan and myself are going to tell you our stories and How we use a jump rope now to travel around the world have the freedom we want and maintain the bodies we want as well So a lot of people out there are probably like yo Zen dudes Why are you guys so obsessed with skipping rope? And I would say that is a valid question because we do seem to be doing it quite frequently So the reason that I got involved with jumping rope guys is because it has been a tool for me for not only a better body But efficiency, okay? I'm admittedly an exerciser who doesn't love to exercise all the time Okay, I just want to look good and live longer and enjoy myself along the way story time for you guys about four years ago I was working in a very Fast-paced software startup sales environment super fun. It was amazing But what required I was required to do a lot of traveling and as this was going on I was also trying to lose a lot of weight. So this kind of bummed me out because I was like well Wait a second I still want to focus on my career and traveling around the world But I want to be able to have the body I want and feel good. So that's where jump rope came into place I had a friend introduce me to jump rope He was like dude stop hating your life and just pick up this rope during this time I was also 70 pounds overweight the jump rope was something now You can't I'm not just going to sit here and say the reason I lost 70 pounds and transformed to the physique I have now is because solely of the jump rope no the body Transforms because you are in a calorie deficit meaning you're burning more calories than you are consuming So the jump rope just happened to be an awesome tool for movement that I would do day after day after day So the consistency is really the key of why I'm able to maintain the physique I have now and why I was able to lose so much weight It was because I had something fun that I could do every single day And that's the alternative that jump rope provides to a lot of other exercise types like Dan said you guys We're just always looking for the most fun way to move our bodies. That's what it comes down to like straight up We're not going to BS you and say hey if you jump rope every day for an hour You're gonna have a six pack because at the end of the day that could be true But not unless you have your calories and just nutrition stuff on point And that's what I came into I lost a bunch of weight I went through a 50 pound transformation myself and then another 10 pounds after I started jumping rope But that first part of the transformation wasn't enjoyable I was like doing the tub of wear thing and like missing out on my social life and once I found the jumper up I was like, oh, okay, like I can exercise and enjoy it I can like move my body in ways that like I'm gonna actually stick with and like Finds like fun and enjoyable so for me it was just a matter of like Transitioning into a form of exercise that I could see myself doing for years because there's like a skill component to it Where you get better and see you challenge yourself and you want to keep doing it and then there's just a component of hey Yes, this is the most efficient way We've seen to burn body fat while exercising and so for us that fits our lifestyle We want adventure. We want freedom. We want results And that's what we get from the jump rope and and that's why we use it now This all sounds fantastic, but you might be asking yourself.
