Jay has nearly curled over and died watching me trying to skip. I bought a skipping rope a few weeks ago but not had it out. Im ok with gallop skips but where you stand still and jump over it my legs wont move of the ground its like gravity has stuck them there |

I feel your pain. We've started skipping for training. I looked like someone had shoved a hot poker up my arse when I first started and tried to jump over the rope much to my mates enjoyment!
Craig = never skipped ever!! |

"what is french skipping?"
Well we just used to call it elastic. You get a long piece of elastic tie a knot and two people stand in it apart so its stretched and then you make up a pattern and the others follow its starts of at ankle height then knee then waist. When some one is out they go in one end and you start again can do it with three people in it or four as well |

Persevere skipping burns loads of calories and tones you up well.  |

"my boobers are too big for skipping!!! I'd knock myself clean out lol"
Im sure if you asked nicely a kind and considerate forumite might assist in holding em down as you skip.....waits for the rush of men or women...form a queue......take a ticket ....could make a small fortune selling tickets ...   |

"lmao ropes are for bondage - you will do your knees in skipping
And i bet you could get your legs up if you wanted too lol
Ive just managed two. Dont think its my legs cause i can do all sorts with them usually it must be my knees lol"
It's your calves that provide most of the power for skipping but it also works out ankles, arms and in fact whole body due to the imbalance whilst skipping. True that it could be hard on the bones and a step machine with shock absorbers may be a more gentle long term exercise. |
