As a result, I've started jumping rope in between sets. I do a split routine (i.e. Day 1 Chest/Back, Day 2 Bi's/Tri's, Day 3 Legs/More Chest, Day 4 Shoulders/More Bi's, Day 5 rest, Day 6 Start over again). Between each and every set, I jump rope for 30 seconds. Then I do an hour of cardio at the end (i.e. jog for 30 minutes, bike for 30 minutes) and try to do various kinds of cardio each day to keep it interesting and switch it up. Either way, I've lost a tremendous amount of weight over the last few weeks. After a week of jumping rope, I was able to run on the treadmill longer than ever before. Of course, you have to watch what you eat, too. I've been really good about cutting out "bad" carbs and I think this has helped, too. I go to the gym at 5:30 AM and workout until around 8:00 AM. I get home, drink a protein shake and then scramble some egg whites. 2 hours later I drink another protein shake (powder mixed with really cold water). Lunch is tuna fish with a little cottage cheese and tomato slices. 2 hours later another protein shake. Dinner is chicken or fish with some vegetables. Sometimes I drink a protein shake before I go to sleep, but that is rare. Once you get into the groove, this lifestyle rocks! Oh, and I don't drink soft drinks any longer, either. And I switched from coffee in the morning to green tea. Hope this helps!! I, too, read the M&F issue with Terrell Owens, and the jumping rope part “jumped” out at me, too.
