054 Let’s get skipping! with Steve Shreeve

Creating Active Lives

In this week's episode I am joined again by Steve Shreeve who is talking to us all about skipping. It's definitely the right time to talk about it as it was National Skipping Day on 24th March. We are so used to thinking about skipping in the playground but there are so many benefits for adults. Let's learn more.
Hear us talk about:

• the general health benefits of skipping
• the sports benefits of skipping
• how to choose the right rope
• some tips to making skipping more accessible

Skipping provides both fun and health benefits. Why not try it today.
