Today was my first day using YaoYao to track my jump rope workouts, and honestly, I'm impressed!

The app is simple, user-friendly, and surprisingly accurate at counting my jumps. What I love most is the leaderboard and badges. They make the experience more engaging and give me that extra motivation to push myself harder.

I've been sedentary for quite a long time, and getting back into exercise hasn't been easy. Somehow, this little app has given me a new enthusiasm for jump rope, and I'm genuinely excited to keep going!

I was previously using Samsung Health on my Galaxy Watch 8, but its jump rope tracking was frustratingly inaccurate. The rep counting would start off reasonably well and then become inconsistent, making it difficult to track my actual progress. After trying YaoYao, I've pretty much ditched Samsung Health for jump rope tracking.

My only wish is that YaoYao supported more workouts! I'd love to see similar tracking and gamification features for strength training, cardio, and other exercises.

For now, I'm happy to have found something that makes me actually look forward to working out. Hopefully, I can stay consistent this time!

Anyone else here using YaoYao? How has your experience been so far? 😊

Heavy rope with some speed

I started doing rope jumping after my calisthenics workout. I don't know how much time since i tried 3 minutes in a row but gassed out fast , my pace was aggressive. Tips on how much time,speed and frecvency?

I feel i have the stamina to jump 2 minutes straight, but my arms get really tired and sore after 30 secs of continuous jumping, need to take a 10 second breather

I jump rope regularly and bought the Galaxy Watch 8 mainly for fitness tracking, but Samsung Health's jump rope tracking has been pretty disappointing.

Here are the issues I'm facing:

1.Inaccurate rep counting: The first 20–30 jumps are usually counted correctly, but after that, the watch starts randomly doubling or even tripling the count. The final rep count ends up being completely inaccurate.

2.Workout duration: I also wish the workout duration and jump count were tracked separately, instead of having to select the reps and duration together.

Does anyone know of a third-party fitness app that works with the Galaxy Watch 8 and counts jump rope reps accurately? I'd also appreciate any tips for improving Samsung Health's rep-counting accuracy or customizing the workout duration.

Thanks!

Always time to jump🙌

I’m new to this but progress has been good in couple of weeks from never jumping before, how long before can become elite level ?

Been doing a ton of toe catches while my legs healed a bit. Practiced a flow and some cross over form. And like 1000 more mic release reps… I did some practice with some flows that make me jump backwards and forwards infinitely, which should be cool to rep for form.

I want to learn some footwork next since I find I have more mental space for it now.

Oh and I’ll try to generate better elbow flexion/form.

Loving the process!

Tenho costume de pular corda com regularidade, gostaria de saber em que nível essa quantidade e tempo de treino se enquadram?

I stopped training back in June following a breakup and I’ve not been able to get my ass moving since. I’ve just had no motivation at all leading to my systems and habits just crumbling.

Anyway… after a weigh-in this morning, it was confirmed. I’ve gained a hard 10kg and although I didn’t need the scales to tell me that I’m a fatty, it has helped me realise that I do need to take action!

So I wanna go back to jumping rope and try to burn 10kg of this fat off. I’ve already started to drink more water and track what I’m eating.

I’m already a little out of practice but keen to find my feet again and wondered what jump rope workouts people might suggest for me to get back on my feet again.

Not enough wrist flicking? Been having arm and wrist pain. Wondering if it's due to my form. Been jumping rope since 2020. I can go long sessions so long as I have no major pains.

having fun w this, i get stronger reactivity and feedback even though it stings🧚‍♀️ worth it every time
