HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN SKIPPING?: 3.5 years.
STORY.
WHY DID YOU WANT TO BECOME A RUSH ATHLETE?
It's all about the community; who are a great bunch of people, willing to teach each other and learn from one another! I wanted to be a part of that and to promote one of the best forms of cardio that anyone can do!
HOW HAS SKIPPING IMPACTED YOUR LIFE?
I've lost 10kgs since I started skipping, and it has definitely gotten me out of some of my darkest days. The beauty of it is that I spend all my time trying to learn/execute a new trick that I don't pay attention to how tiring the workout is or how anxious/stressed I am on a particular day.

“Don't compare yourself to anyone. Find your style. What aspect of skipping interests you the most? Speed? Freestyle? Maybe it's a specific kind of jump rope move that you'd like to be insanely good at. Do you and do it well!”
