Hey, how's it going? I wanted to lose fat and learn how to jump, so I started a challange to do 1million jumps, ran the math prob 4months. Anyone has experience with jump rope?

Jump rope? No. No experience here, because it's not the 1800's.

Jumping is high impact and can be tough on the joints, especially if you're starting out overweight. So, maybe just start out walking, or swimming for better joint health.

Setting a 1,000,000 goal for anything is a bit extreme. That's a goal to count to 1,000,000. Have you ever even counted to 1,000,000? Nope. Neither have I. It's a recipe for failure, even before you start.

How about setting a goal for going out and walking a mile 3-5 times a week. Work up to it by increasing your distance until you can do the whole mile. If you can do that for a few months, up it to 2 miles. If you're consistiently doing 2 miles 3-5 times a week, you're going to see a huge difference in your physical fitness.

    Ofc im not going to count to 1 million like on the same session, but I calculated that with around a bit over 1 hour of jumping rope a day in 4 months I would end up at 1million jumps, its not like Im doing it everything at once, I just like the idea of slowly counting up the next few months, so i can know how many jumps i do per day and the averages etc etc etc
