Novice skipper

Only managed 3 skips tonight...perhaps not a good time to try straight after I have eaten my tea!

[Judith Greenwood]

Oh well done - I don't think I have the pelvic floor for it! (Sorry - too much information!)

[Padlock]

Keep trying.

[julia]

Great shot, love the shadow of you and the rope..

[Phil Howcroft]

great shot Pat, you are looking well after your trip to NZ

[KWind]

It's harder than it looks! A killer workout for the calves!

[Jen Hudson]

love the shadow in your shot, you look great. I tried skipping some time ago and couldnt believe how hard it had become!

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Good for you, my ankle wouldn't take it!

[Maggiemae]

You look so trim and happy, Pat! Great photo and I'm going out to do some skipping too! But not with a photo - everything wobbles up and down!

[bkb in the city]

Keep at it

[Diana Moss]

Wow you are looking in great shape Pat. I think my skipping days are over.

[Pat Knowles]

@judithg @padlock @julzmaioro @kwind @phil_howcroft @jennywren @tishpics @maggiemae @bkbinthecity @snowy

You are all very encouraging.......must try earlier in the day on an empty stomach tomorrow. I must admit I am woefully amazed I am finding it such heavy going, I thought it would be easy & just a matter of building up to around 100 a go!! Ha Ha !

[Graham Harcombe]

I do love a good action shot!

[Babs]

Great action shot. I don't think my knees would cope with skipping these days.

[Rick Schies]

Hey it's a start. Good job, but I think you are right, you should wait and do it like 30 minutes before you eat, at least that is what I was told. That will help you to digest your meal better

[Sue Wilde]

This is great though

[Karin Hirsch]

Wonderful shot of you and your shadow. You will improve but should but on trainers and not do any type of sports right after a meal. Go,Pat,go

[Sarah Bremner]

Great shot and you look nicely tanned after your time in NZ!
