I'm actually in the middle of making my own jump rope although I will probably go buy one as well. I'm starting at around 275 pounds. My goal is 200-220 and the stationary bike just isn't cutting it.

The back is usually the one that needs the most work (not always) so it needs the most attention. I'll be showing you how I use foam rollers and lacrosse balls to target those pain areas.

Because of how much time I spend writing at a computer everyday, my back is starting to get sore in a few spots. What I really need to do is convert to a standing desk, but that's a long-term solution.

When the weather is a bit chillier outside I put on a pair of Tom's instead, but for nicer weather, VFF are the only way to go! I got a pair of VFF last summer, and it’s just about all I wear now.

I'm sure the strength gains would plateau after a certain time on the program at which point I would make some changes to my strategy. I was fortunate to have some impressive gains in the 5 weeks that I did this program. Next time I do it I'll try to go for longer just to see what happens.
