Like legit skipping, not jump rope skipping. I'm talking ease on down the yellow brick road, flamboyant SKIPPING. Honestly, I prefer it to jogging/running. And if you mix it up with walking you got yourself a bonafide interval program, bish. Ahem. My only problem is being self conscious about looking like a fool while I do it, but I'm trying not to give a crap. Thoughts? ^_^

Sounds like fun. It's never occurred to me that skipping would be good exercise but it makes sense. I wonder what my neighbors will think when they see me skipping down the road. I'm 64, they'll probably think that I'm a crazy ole' lady!3

Prancercize!? Hmmmm. YEAH, kinda, but what I mean is more um, intense? I'm really just referring to skipping that you associate with childhood. Course, you could put ANY spin/rhythm to it, and do it at any pace. I skip to music so I naturally move to the beat/cadence of the song.1

No.
I do work with kids though. And sometimes we kind of skip.0 -
I Prancercise! I was hoping someone would post as soon as I saw the word skip!1

There is a young, fit guy at my gym who skips in place between each set he does. It's super bizarre, and also kind of adorable. I say go for it. Skipping is fun!3

Let them stare. They'll be jealous they're not doing it!3

I didn't think of that but it sounds super fun! Thanks for the idea op!1

I've recently wondered about this, but I'm very unsteady on my feet. Dizzy. Ditzy. Wobbly. I wonder if it would work or if I'd just end up on the ground!0

What you really need to do while skipping is have a really creepy huge smile on, then people will be more worried about you maybe being a psycho killer and wont look at you lol. Then do it proud!3

I love that old lady, she scares me tho, she looks so tiny and frail like shes either going to get blown away or break something any minute lol.0 -
I do "Power Skipping" or "Bounding" for lack of better term on the treadmill during what I like to call "Treadmill Chaos Intervals". These really get my heart rate up!2
