Sometimes I skip because I feel it's more efficient. Sometimes I skip just because it's fun. Always it embarrasses my co-workers and they ask me to stop. I am a 25 year old 6'3" man who is currently employed doing HVAC maintenance.

My So just thinks I'm nuts and childish :D

I don't skip at work ... Or haven't for a while.

If coworkers asked my why is probably just reply with: 1. Going to get some tonight 2. I just got sext'd 3. Steak and BJ night

You know just to irritate them more ;-)

It is more efficient. I wonder why we don't all do it. Adult skipping is beast though. Each bound launches you across a room.

I don't skip but I've thought about it and tried it once. It's almost as fast as jogging with less effort. Other than it being strange that's probably why people don't skip. You can't jog in an office, you can't skip in an office.

Adult skipping is beast though.

This should be on a t-shirt. I'd wear it.

Doesn't matter it someone is watching; skipping is awesome fun! I swear it's faster than jogging too.

Ands yes, it does elicit the smiles :)

You're the second person to post about speed.

I'm still trying to figure the dynamics about this.

Any idea?

I'm no physicist, but imagine it's a mixture of propelling forward rather than stepping (covers more area) and the heightened speed needed to maintain balance and momentum.

It's a different muscle group (a bit) than running - that plus not being torturous allows longer duration and extra enthusiasm in each launch...at least for me.

No, but I've caught my brother doing it. When he's alone, or when he thinks he's alone, he skips. I'm not sure why, but he is adamant he does not skip.

Lol! At least I just look sheepish at being caught.

Even as an adult I think it's childish but sometimes I'm like what the hell :D then my SO catches me on way to the kitchen or something.

Depends on what I'm skipping. Dinner at the In-Laws? Absolutely makes me happy.

Ok ok, good one!

I actually miss my X-GF's in laws more than her! They were so awesome that I stayed with their daughter longer than I should have. It's too bad that their daughter and I didn't have all the right compatibility requirements to stay together forever.

Cartwheels ... Nah, I'm not gonna even try ;-)

It's not that bad on your knees, well at least mine don't complain compared to if I tried running these days.

Damn, I forgot all about skipping...I need to make some time to go do this again. I'm sure nobody would mind a middle aged bearded man skipping around town.

If you threw in a whistle and a shopping bag while at the mall ... You'd be noticed but would probably be envied.

I wouldn't really suggest doing that since I haven't even been brave enough to do that.

A kid in tow, well screw everybody else!

I've found the relationship to be the opposite - the only way I'd be able to willingly skip is if I was already feeling good

Interesting ...

I'm obvious childish but the benefit is that I'm consistently guessed at being 5-6 years (sometimes more) younger than I really am.
