Today I’m joined by Jacqueline Alexander, a jump rope coach and co-founder of Jump Rope Vancouver, Vancouver’s first jump rope meetup community. She’s also the creator of Jump Rope Remix, a musically driven class designed to help adults build cardio, coordination, and confidence by jumping to the beat.
In this episode, we unpack jump rope or skipping and the big misconceptions and fears around it. We talk about why so many women feel hesitant to jump, how jump rope is often taught in ways that can feel intimidating, and why double unders are actually a skill with progressions, not something you should just be thrown into. We also explore how jump rope, when approached intentionally, can support knee health, pelvic floor function, and even bone density rather than harming them.
