Thought I'd start a thread chronicling my journal for fitness, longevity, and V02 max training through jumping rope.

Numerous studies show that jumping rope is an excellent regime with many health benefits, specifically cardiovascular endurance.

(I'll find them and post them here eventually).

I mentioned this journey in the Choose Hard workbook as well.

This video is a few months old, and believe it or not, I'm a lot better today.

Most of this was learned on my own, with some help from some YouTube jump rope gurus.

As of now, I'm in the top 3% of V02 Max for men my age (56) -- and I do pretty damn well in our Whoop longevity group.

AI TAKE: No secrets. No hacks. Just hard work, consistancy, and sleep optimization for recovery.

And knowing when to stop before enduring calf strains).

My favorite music of choice is always Trance/Rave.
