I’ve been skipping rope for a month (2,000–5,000 daily) and recently added 4×15 squats.
My quads are now extremely sore and taking longer than expected to recover.
Is this normal, or am I overdoing it? How can I recover faster, and should I adjust my routine?

I started skipping rope a month ago not expecting much.
I'm genuinely shocked by how fast this thing works.
First session I lasted 10 minutes and wanted to die. Now my personal best in 1 hour 40 minutes is 7,000 skips. I didn't even plan to go that long, I just kept going.
Other stuff I didn't expect ,back pain I'd had for a long time disappeared. I'm recovering between sets in under 20 seconds when I used to need 2 full minutes. My clothes fit differently. I'm sleeping well
Stairs are Effortless now.
Honestly the biggest surprise was the mental side. I push way further when I stop staring at a count and just skip. My brain was the one quitting, not my legs.
