Talking Do you like to skip?

Do you ever skip anymore? not jump rope but one foot in front of the other type skip

it is SO MUCH FUN!!! no wonder kids always look so happy doing it

At first I felt a little silly letting go and skipping! and I didn't do it on the street in public

but then I did it and ohhh it felt soooo goooooooood (still not in public )

I did it again in the change room today after my workout.. I like to skip in a way that feels a little slow-motioned like floating on my way down, rather than the aerobic kind of knees straigh up and towards the chest. Not that I do this for exercise, just as a feel-good thing, because it feels wonderful

So I'm curious to see if anyone still skips every now and then? And for those who don't, do definitely try it

Aw Lovely post! It's the simple joys in life!

I don't skip. I do every now and then when I'm baby sitting, but I've found that those joys in life - I just don't participate in anymore, and I'm only 19. I think I'm also in the middle of an existential meltdown/ quarter life crisis though - maybe that's why.


This made me smile though Glad you've found some floating fun!

I do a boot camp and the coach sometimes makes us skip, but it's the kind that doesn't feel floaty or anything! I think I will try it though, because I remember loving it as a kid.

(siiigh) I wish I could still skip! I used to love skipping everywhere but old age and arthiritis make the consequences of skipping too painful to endure!

The last time I skipped... was when I was drunk, lol. Probably not the safest time to skip.

I don't have much room to skip at home, and don't want to do it in public, but you're right, it's fun!
