Jump Rope, Tricks, and a Very Protective Dog – With Patty Reynolds (Ep. 19)

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. 🎙️🔥Guest: Patty Reynolds @pattyjumpsHost: Dizzy Skips: @dizzyskipsShow: The Jump Rope Podcast: @jumpropepodcast👉🏽 Subscribe wherever you get your podcasts, and help us out by submitting a review, leaving a comment, and sharing with your friends!
