Introduction
Edfoc, a 25-year-old male, lost around 30 pounds roughly in just four months. He started his "cut season" in April 2022 and added a jump rope routine to his workout and diet plan.
Jump rope and calorie deficit
Edfoc found jump rope to be a fun cardio exercise and was able to do it on the spot. He added it to his routine along with a major calorie deficit which helped him lose weight quickly. He went from consuming 2700 calories a day to just 1300 calories a day.
Calorie surplus and heavy lifting
Before starting his cut season, Edfoc had a calorie surplus and did heavy lifting for his bulking phase. However, when he wanted to lose weight quickly, he decreased the sets he did on lifting and added jump rope to his routine. This worked for a while before he decided to take on the challenge of a major calorie deficit.
Jump rope routine
Edfoc did not describe his jump rope routine in detail, but it was likely a simple workout that he did for a certain amount of time each day. He did not mention how long he did jump rope each day or each week.
Conclusion
If you're looking to lose weight quickly, a major calorie deficit and adding a fun cardio exercise like jump rope to your routine may be helpful. However, it's important to remember that everyone's weight loss journey is unique, and what works for someone else may not work for you. It's important to find a plan that is sustainable and enjoyable for you personally. Consulting a healthcare provider is also recommended before starting any new diet or exercise plan.
