The jump rope is a seriously underrated exercise – in fact, it is one of the best full body workouts you can do. A pair of guys, Dan and Brandon, the aptly named jump rope guys, have a million-subscriber YouTube channel devoted to proselytizing jump rope as a legitimate way to get in shape. For them, it is clearly worked, and in a new video they explain how they got started and what it’s like to lose 70 pounds with the jump rope.

The story probably sounds quite familiar: a former football player who never really paid much attention to his diet when he was in high school because his focus was on being tall and strong. Then he grew up, got a job and got busy. Although he had qualms about his body – no longer a football player, he didn’t need more volume – he never could find the time to adjust to a daily routine. training that worked.

The jump rope worked for him because he could take it with him anywhere. Traveling for a corporate job made any other routine nearly impossible, but a jump rope is easy. The benefits, as you can imagine, were pretty obvious. He’s lost 70 pounds and admits he did it primarily for his looks – he’s got a six-pack for the first time. It has boosted his confidence and he feels healthier than he even was at 23, ten years ago.

And he’s ready to attribute it all to the skipping rope. If this sounds like a path you’d like to try for yourself, check out our guide to the best weighted jump ropes.
