Dear Reader, I’ve been thinking about creating this course for a while now. But it was only a few days ago during a super intense workout that I finally got around to deciding to DO it. Bear in mind, I hardly need to put out any more courses. I’ve got so many already that even my most ARDENT followers sometimes don’t have ’em all – but this one, much like the one preceding it (Animal Kingdom Workouts – another MUST grab) was written in the flow, and when the flow strikes, well … Jump rope mania as it were! BUT first, a bit about my workout today. And as I got done doing variations of jumpng rope that I do normally, but upped it several antes, I gotta write to you about this. My legs are sore. Calves and ASS especially – these variations really tax the GLUTES! And they’re like NOTHING out there. NOTHING is being taught like this, especially not the way I do ’em! And 3000 felt evern better today. Actually it was probably around 3100. But whose counting! But anyway, you might be asking, “so what”. Is this course even more “advanced” will be the next question than your normal stuff. Well, fear not friend. ALL these variations are things YOU TOO can do – and (practically speaking) – FAT WILL FLY off thy body at RECORD Speeds if you do ’em! You need to get good at the basics first, yes. But thats not nearly as tough as you’d think! And I’ll lay it all out for you, including workouts that while are advanced, you can do, and that will kick your BOOTUS from here to KINGDOM come within the space of a few minutes, and that will be ALL you need to do to burn fat the rest of your life! Trust me on this one. Such a solid workout did I have that yours truly’s grip started to fail around 25 pull-ups afterwards! Granted, those were super tough and for a change I did grip work first. But still, if yours truly feels like this, then … I finished off with Animal Kingdom Workouts – TWO exercises from it. Forgot the handstands, but I’ll be doing those soon! But back to jumping rope … Believe me, the benefits of this are MENTAL as well. You won’t believe how fresh you feel (I had an IRRITATING day today to say the least, and I’m fresh as a DAISY NOW) after you do these! Jumping rope is great not just for fat loss, but also co-ordination, dexterity and GRIP. And you’ll literally be burning new neurons into your brain as you train this way. Stay POSTED! (And if all the above benefits aren’t enough for you, I dont know what else to tell you except you ain’t got a pulse. But if you’ve invested in this here course, then you’ve definitely got a pulse and then some!). Why rope jumping should (and DOES!) appeal to EVERYONE. Because it’s a workout pretty much anyone can do. Because it’s a workout that will burn fat at record speeds for anyone – regardless of whether or not you’re couch potato – housewife – elite athlete – or crossfitter. I dont care who you are, and what you do – these workouts will work for you – they willl build MUSCLE – and burn fat – at record speeds! Obviously these workouts can be done anywhere. You don’t need anything but space to jump. I’ve even done these routine in my daughter’s ultra cluttered room! (I’ve done them outdoors too…). You can get a tremendous UPPER body workout in too while jumping rope – and you’ll see how beneath – and it wont be the “mammoth muscle” you see in the gym and no-one wants. It’ll be sleek, lean, functional muscle like a tiger in the wild! You’ll have boundless energy throughout the day even if you jump rope for less than 10 minutes straight. The very action of jumping rope lends itself to this! Grip fanatics will know that the heavier rope they choose, the more their forearms fry. And if you’re the average Joe, choose what works for you. Either way … you’ll get a super functional fat burning workout in within less than 15 minutes (or 5 minutes when you first start!). “Shake it and lose it” has often been a mantra with me, and you’ll feel your whole body shake in ways it never has once you get on these routines – and this shaking combined with the deep breathing turns your body into a butter burning, fat smelting, muscle FORGING machine! Forget the “tummy crunchers” and other nonsense on late night TV. Jumping rope will give you a set of abs the “bubbas” at the gym would kill for – yes – even if you’re a “middle aged housewife” as Tracy was (is)! And all of this, just off the top of my head … Benefits YOU can expect from following the rope jumping routines laid out herein! An overall body workout within the matter of a few minutes. They say 10 minutes of jumping rope is equal to THIRTY minutes of running, and you’ll soon see the truism of this saying yourself once you start “doing the thing” Rapid, increased, and MASSIVE fat loss throughout your entire body, especially the stomach, hips and thighs – your entire core, including your butt to be precise. Much like with my other movements, you do NOT need a gym – machines – or any fancy shmancy nonsense to get started. A jump rope is your only investment, and believe me, those ain’t “expensive” to say the least! Those diamond shaped calves you’ve always been wanting will be YOURS! Your thighs will turn into pillars of streaming STEEL once you get on these workouts. Believe me, jumping rope may not seem like a lot, but there is a good reason boxers and wrestlers all over the world jump rope for hours daily! An upper body and grip workout from CAIN. Now, you may not think so – but jump rope right, and you’ll very likely not need much at all in terms of shoulder/grip work! You’ll get a solid WRIST And forearm workout too – not just “grip”! Improved performance on ALL upper body exercises once you add jumping rope into the mix (you’lls ee what I mean when you start on the workouts in the book. You’ll literally be amazed at how your pull-up, pushup and other “stubborn” numbers shoot through the roof once you add jumping rope into the mix!) Increased FOCUS on all you do, and life in general (trust me, if you can jump rope well for high reps, then this in itself requires a laser sharp focus and razor like concentration!). Increased MENTAL activity. Jumping rope taxes the balls of the feet heavily, which stimulates the entire body but the grip work and co-ordination required means your BRAIN gets a solid workout as well “adjusting to new workouts” (and believe me, there are plenty – you will NEVER be bored again!) Increased stamina, and a sense of “sang froid” and cool, calm, collected demanor throughout the day! Bye bye pavement pounding and other LSD cardio. You’ll never need it once you get on the exercises in this book! A super lung workout due to all the DEEP breathing jumping rope naturally entails (and therefore a great chest workout as well). Your abs will solidfy into chunks of hard STEEL (not really but you get the point!). Bye bye love handles, bingo wings, flabby chests and lower back FAT. SHAKING the fat truly does reduce it, and you’ll see how! And more. Much, much more. Get this cracker of a course NOW my friend. It truly IS everything it promises, and then some!
