- No!
My titties hurt so bad.
- I am hung over as (beep).
- I know y'all saw that.
(upbeat music)
- Growing up, I never saw jumping rope
as something that people did for like exercise purposes.
I thought it was only something that people did for fun.
- I have been a professional dancer.
I have been on a snowboarding team.
I used to be really into double Dutch when I was little.
- I don't think I've even picked up a jump rope
since elementary school.
- For 30 Days, we're gonna be jumping rope every single day.
- I wanted to do the challenge
just because it sounded like fun.
I love doing different types of movement.
- I want to do the challenge for a couple of reasons.
The main one just being that I want to get moving more.
And this seems like pretty attainable workout.
- Currently, my only form of exercise is roller skating,
which is great.
I love roller skating and I don't even do that every day.
- It's hard to be a fat person online.
Everyone thinks that they have a right to your body
and right to have an opinion about your body.
That's what I'm nervous about with this challenge.
- Challenge accepted, so let's get started.
(upbeat music)
- Day one test.
No!
My titties hurt so bad.
Day one, 14 jumps in a row.
Not horrible.
- It's like 10:00 AM right now.
Usually I'm still in my PJ's.
This is definitely already getting me off to a good start.
(rope hitting ground)
That was 46.
(rope hitting ground)
50.
Okay, I'm done.
(rope hitting ground) (upbeat music)
- Oh.
Well, we got to 27
before my jump rope decided to break on me.
I think that was like 68.
Note to self, definitely stretch beforehand.
(upbeat music)
So, I'm taking my little quick 30-second break.
I did 49 on my left and 50 on my right.
I don't think I can do this two times though.
Truly contemplating my decision
to participate in this challenge.
- This is my first day jump roping like in public.
I hope that people don't laugh at me.
They probably will.
Also, I'm not wearing a bra.
In retrospect,
I did not do what the challenge said for me to do today.
I'll fix it tomorrow.
I'll do (laughs)
- Full transparency, I am hung over as (beep).
(upbeat music)
The mommy kicks were easier than the side-to-side.
Don't love either, but the mommy kicks were easier.
Considering how hung over I am,
I'm pretty proud of myself.
- Today's technique is to do 100 boxer skip jumps,
30-second rest, and then 100 jumps running up and back.
I watched the boxer jump videos a bunch of times,
they do look fun.
I just, I don't think I got 'em down.
The running forward and back was nice.
I didn't count how many times,
but I'm seriously out of breath.
- Ugh.
The boxer jumps just like are not working with my legs.
I don't, maybe I'm doing it wrong,
but it like genuinely hurts really bad.
So I'm just doing normal jumps
and I'm gonna try the run up and down one now.
(upbeat music)
It feels like past the point of just like,
oh, it's a good workout, I'm kind of sore.
Like it just hurts.
(rope hitting ground)
That was almost a disaster.
That was 79.
And I know for a fact that was better than last time.
So I actually thought I wasn't going to improve at all,
but I already have.
- Okay, I look cute today.
(rope hitting ground)
24!
Yes.
- I think that was like 99.
- We have a change of scenery today 'cause I'm dog sitting.
Oh, we're done for the day, bud.
We're done.
(upbeat music)
- In the Crocs.
As you saw, jump roping in Crocs didn't really work.
(upbeat music)
- We got 46.
Pretty good.
And I think the dog thinks so too.
- I learned that my right leg is very weak.
You guys, this cramp.
- It is the start of week three.
Weekly test.
I'm tired.
(rope hitting ground)
ouch!
It doesn't seem like I'm gonna get more than 34
or something today.
So, oh, rip.
- [Man] 10 more seconds.
You should have been counting.
- You're supposed to be counting for me.
(upbeat music)
- 86.
I'm not mad at 86, I mean, be honest.
That is an improvement from last time.
And it also is on track for my goal of 100.
- Today's technique includes 100 jumps side straddle
with a 30-second rest
and 100 jumps high knees.
I really love the high knee jumps
just because I feel like they're super high intensity
and they really get my blood going.
But the side straddle, I just feel like
when I'm bobbing around side to side,
I just get really annoyed.
- Okay, day 17, 50 side swing, 50 criss cross, times two.
We can do this.
The side jumps are very hard for me.
(upbeat music)
Oh God.
It was literally straight two seconds ago
and now it's in a knot.
How?
(upbeat music)
I'm killing the criss cross though.
- I have to make a confession.
I didn't jump rope for the past two days
because I went to the beach
and I was like really sore from running around.
- So I'm currently on vacation in New York.
But the grind never stops.
So I'm going outside my Airbnb to jump rope.
Working out while I'm on vacation, not it.
But now it's raining. Also, of course today is the day
we have to try and nail a double under.
(upbeat music)
I got one foot under.
One, I did it.
I did one, I did one, I did one.
Done.
- I'm gonna be honest.
I'm exhausted.
Not only have I been in the middle of a move,
but I've also been in the middle of finals week.
Past two weeks honestly have been very much for me.
That was really fast.
I think I hit somewhere around the eighties
and you know, the baggy pants were a huge factor.
But the biggest hindrance were my ankles.
After four weeks of continuous jumping,
my ankles are just not having it.
- I'm shocked we've made it this far.
And I only skipped like a few days.
That was like 44.
Honestly, good job everyone.
- I'm really looking for 100,
but I think that might be a little bit high of a goal,
but you know, reach for the stars, right?
111 straight.
Surpassed my goal for the entire month.
We still have another week to go.
So I might even get more than that.
Kind of a magical day.
- Today's last challenge
is to see how many double unders I can do
and how many jumps I can do in a row.
I'm hoping that today I'll just be able to pull them out
and they'll just show up out of nowhere
because obviously that's how it works.
(upbeat music)
I know you all saw that.
All right.
So I was able to do 105 jumps,
which I'm so impressed with myself.
- I can't really jump very high in the air
because of the laws of gravity.
We're gonna try anyways.
Last day, last day, last day.
(upbeat music)
So obviously that was kind of a fail.
I only got 14 in a row.
After last week, getting like,
what'd I get, like 40 something, but that's okay.
Because some days are just harder than others.
I jump roped for almost 30 days.
So like, that's a success to me.
(upbeat music)
- I just literally did 120, 120.
Now for these (beep) double unders.
(upbeat music)
Done.
I got one.
I'm fine with one.
I hate it, I'm never gonna do it again.
I'm so happy.
- The first week, doing 60 jumps had me winded.
I was panting at the camera.
And here I am post-105 jumps.
I can do another set of 105 easy.
- I'm so proud of myself for not skipping,
even though I hated half of it or more than half.
I think I will keep her.
Maybe one day, I'll be motivated to try again.
I won't be any day soon.
- Would I recommend jump roping in general?
Definitely.
That (beep) so fun.
I watched a video back of me.
I'm like the way that my body jiggles when I do it,
I think is so cute.
(laughs)
