Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Session #3 for me. A pb of making it to double figures.

Agree with Baz: I did much better when I focused on a spot on the wall, went all Jedi and let everything flow.

Tough ten minutes session more jumping that getting myself untangled from rope. HR was higher than my run this morning!

lol - one of our isolation purchases was a night vision camera to see what wildlife we get in the garden. I know we get visitors cos I hear them regularly. To date other than a nonchalant fox that wandered down the street once we have recorded nothing.

Today though, there was footage captured as the camera had been positioned by my son pointing towards my skipping area.

Managed 2 x 1 min without a tangle so chuffed. I got tired in the other 3 x 1 min around 40 seconds.

Too windy to skip outside so indoors it was.

Well done UC! Pretty windy round here too and I've not got room to move it indoors so I'm taking a day off. Probably a good thing as I've got quite tight calves today (test run, skipping and bike session yesterday).

Just did today’s session - day 23 4minutes. Really struggled with the wind and the rope speed. Still, happy to have ticked another day off.

Session 4 for me and spent most of the time skipping rather than untangling myself from the rope. Had an audience from my 6 year old critiquing which wasn't the most helpful!

I love how things like Skipping become vogue in Fetch every now and again. Very cool. Just like school. But without spots. :-) G

First day skipping since Friday and the rest did me good !

I was regularly getting to 50/60 then recorded an 89 in my second set which should have been 90 but I counted my chickens before they hatched. My last effort was a 75 and I stopped voluntarily as I was tired :-O

I’ve had a few goes at managing a minute over the last week. I can’t do a full minute without tangles but I thought that I’d start the thirty day program today.
By the third minute I managed 37 skips without tangles so I’m fairly pleased.

Forgot to post for a few days, but am up to say 5 now. was another 3 x 1 min with 1 min rest - got my feet a bit tangled after 34 seconds on the first minute, same after 49 seconds on the second minute and 53 seconds on the final minute. Hoping I’ll be able to manage a minute without catching the rope on my feet soon.

Today was 200 skips in one workout - got to 80 before getting the rope caught, then 144, then made it to the end.
