How To Climb a Rope!

Rope Climbing is Great for overall strength- works everything!  This is probably why you see the trend in fitness going to a bodyweight style of training routine in crossfit gyms, monkey bar gyms, and other private training studios.  Gymnasts have been doing rope climbs for decades as a conditioning exercise for grip strengthening, core, lats, biceps, and more!  Beginners can use your feet to clamp the rope for assistance, but as you get stronger, do it with no feet or a straddle L position.

Jon's Top 5 WEIGHT LOSS TIPS!

Summer Is Here! Lose Weight With Me and Diet Bet! 

So, to help you out with this i’ve got a list of 5 weight loss tips that will help with your weight loss journey.  

1.  Write down what you are eating!  This is really the beginning for your journey, this way you can be honest with yourself and actually look at what you are eating to know where you are going wrong.  Data shows that people under report what they write in their journal - i heard once that it’s like 20% so use this Journal to get the maximum benefit out of it by being accurate, Honest, and take the emotion out of it.  Look at it as gathering data about your personal self.

2.  Eat Real Food - stay away from processed foods, refined carbs, sodas/ Diet sodas, sugars and sweets, and booze (eh).  Along the same lines, make your own food whenever you can and avoid eating out.  Then you actually know what’s in your food, and and purchase the highest quality food your budget allows.  It is very important your food comes from real sources.  

3.  Be done early!  I think it is a good idea to give yourself some time after dinner to digest before going to bed.  I don’t have a magic number of minutes, but I found that I do best when I eat dinner by 5:30 or 6 and all eating for the day is done at that point.

4.  Exercise!  Get moving so you can burn more fuel.  If you would like some ideas on ways you can switch up your routine, You can check my channel out here on youtube where I have a little something for all ability levels. 

5.  Find some Motivation and Stay Accountable to someone, set some goals, and make it happen!  This is why I like dietbet.com.  I really think it is an excellent way to get motivated and change some habits permanently.  Good luck with your weight loss journey, and come join me as I host another diet bet at dietbet.com/fitnessontherun.  Check out my healthy cooking playlist for some healthy recipes to get you started on the right track.
