The guy who we are featuring in this week’s edition of our jump rope transformation series is Declan. When we were first reading Declan’s transformation story, we got super emotional because he has the kind of story that makes us want to continue doing what we’re doing here at Jump Rope Dudes. This man is pure inspiration. Just a few years ago Declan was battling OCD, depression and obesity – weighing in at 284 pounds. He didn’t feel that great about himself and really never got into any kind of consistent fitness routine.
He knew he was obese and knew he needed to do something to change. Declan was always a fan of Rocky and boxing, so he searched jump rope on YouTube and found our channel. He started by checking out our beginner jump rope tutorials and started to make jumping rope a consistent part of his routine. Slowly he’s made incremental progress and now has dropped all the way down to 155 pounds. This dude literally cut his body weight in half!
How did Declan Do The Thing?
His routine consists of using either the ¼ lb rope or the 1 lb jump rope for anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes a day. By using these heavier ropes, he is able to increase the resistance on his body and shed body fat more quickly while building his lean muscle mass. He eats the right amount of calories and follows our nutrition protocols, which has helped him to lose weight and reveal his lean jump rope physique. Even more impressive than the weight Declan has lost is that he is now completely off prescription medication and out of therapy. Like many others in our community his mantra for life is DO THE THING and it guides him in everything he does now.
How You Can Do The Thing Too
A huge part of Declan’s success has to do with his consistency and dedication. He’s seen such huge changes because he really dialed in his nutrition and stayed accountable to his jump rope workouts.
