Jump rope: the ultimate cardio workout, mental health booster, and—if you’re Patty Reynolds (@pattyjumps)—a sport that requires the full approval of Artemis, her German Shepherd bodyguard. 🐕💪🏽

In this episode of The Jump Rope Podcast, host Dizzy (@dizzyskips) chats with Patty about how she went from struggling with the basics to mastering (or at least constantly improving) mic releases, EB swings, and trick combos.

But it wasn’t all textbook—her jump rope journey involved an Amazon rope, an impromtu Target bag costume, and some hilarious backyard training sessions under Artemis’ watchful eye.

Patty shares how jump rope transformed her mental and physical health, helping her balance long 12-hour shifts as a pharmacist while keeping up with three kids.

She also opens up about the incredible support she’s found in the jump rope community, from her first interactions with Eddie Jumps (@eddie_jumps) to becoming part of a worldwide skipping family. (By the way, Eddie was on Episode 18—go check that out!)

Expect laughs, jump rope wisdom, and maybe even a little inspiration to pick up a rope yourself. 🎙️🔥

play

04/02/25 • 80 min

G’day, Jump Rope Community! In Episode 25, host Dizzy (@dizzyskips) sits down with the OG Aussie skipper himself, Papa Joe (@papa_joe01) 🤩

They explore everything from Joe’s early struggles in a boxing gym (where he was the only one NOT skipping!) to mastering heavy ropes, boxers skips, and—yes—double-unders from Down Under.

Along the way, you’ll hear how jump rope became Joe’s daily mental release, stress-buster, and secret weapon for staying fit.

The conversation bounces around the supportive jump rope community, upcoming challenges, and how platforms like podcasts, Instagram, and meetups help keep everyone motivated.

Expect plenty of Aussie slang (“ripper!”), a dash of coffee talk ☕, and tips to transform your rope routine into a powerful mental-health practice.

They also cover Joe’s go-to strategies:

  • Consistency (just keep skipping!)
  • Embracing the basics (master that boxer skip!)
  • The Power of warming up and cooling down (so you don’t hobble away in pain!)

Hear Papa Joe shout out legends like @doc.jumps, @kathyjumps, @aaronjumps.365, @richardheadjumps, and the @jumpropedudes. Plus, learn why short daily efforts can lead to massive wins—at home, in the office, or even in a warehouse at 6:30 AM!

Ready for a playful, motivational pep talk? Hit that play button, crank up the volume, and get skipping.

This episode will leave you pumped, smiling, and itching to take on the next rope challenge—Aussie style! 🦘

    Wonder no more! In Episode 18 of The Jump Rope Podcast, your host Dizzy (@dizzyskips) sits down with the legendary Eddie Adby (@eddie.jumps) to chat all things jump rope, skipping rope, and fun fitness.

    Get ready to laugh harder than you boxer-step because this episode bursts with playful sarcasm, pun-tastic banter, and even a touch of rope-fail commiseration.
