SkipFit

A fun, high-energy cardio class with options for every level. Jump rope (skipping) is an all round work out that builds stamina, joint strength and muscle tone, with low joint impact. The session includes a warm-up, footwork patterns and teaches crossing skills, turns and handle catches, with clear progressions and modifications throughout. Ropes are provided, with guidance available if you’d like advice on purchasing your own. Open to all abilities. 10 minutes of skipping equals 30 minutes of running.
