Fast Skipping

What it is

This dynamic bodyweight exercise employs a quick, alternating step-hop pattern to boost your cardiovascular fitness. You will actively engage your quadriceps, while also working your calves, glutes, and hamstrings. It builds lower body endurance and improves your agility.

Technique tips

• Maintain light, quick foot contact, minimizing your air time.
• Keep your core muscles braced throughout the movement for stability.
• Allow your arms to swing naturally to help drive your rhythm.
• Focus on a soft, controlled landing to protect your joints.
• Progress by gradually increasing your speed and duration.
• Breathe consistently to sustain your pace and maintain energy.

How to track your progress

Log reps, and add the extra load if you wear a belt or a vest. Straddly counts your bodyweight in the estimated max, so added weight and extra reps both show up as progress, and new records are flagged during the session.
