In this solo episode of The Jump Rope Podcast, Dizzy Skips (@dizzyskips) nerds out on all the tech, gear, and glorious fails behind his jump rope reels.

If you’ve ever:

• Jumped out of frame

• Rocketed your headphones with a rope

• Or spent 37 minutes syncing 37 seconds of music…

This one’s for you.

🎥 Camera choices? Covered.

🎧 Audio tips? Yup.

📸 Lighting and framing? Let’s rule those thirds.

🧠 AI help for captions? Present!

⚡ Battery anxiety? Obviously.

Dizzy shares the tech and techniques that help make his skipping rope content fun, functional, and only slightly chaotic.

Whether you’re using Instagram, CapCut, or just stuffing your phone into a shoe, you’ll find tips here you can actually use.

Sound bites include:

👉 “I always use the back facing camera.”

👉 “I use my phone instead of a GoPro.”

👉 “I use AI for help writing my captions.”

Bonus: Dizzy shares his strategy for staying chill with meditation (and Brain.fm), how he lost AirPods to the Mississippi, and why he’s still laughing when things go wrong.

🎧 DM @dizzyskips if you try any of these tips, have recommendations, or want to talk tripod hacks.

Lise Andresen went from cold, lonely Norwegian winters to joyful skips on the streets of Oslo—and somehow dragged her coworkers into it along the way. 😄🪢

She started jumping in August 2023, lost 20 kilos, gained energy, and built a passion for footwork and freestyle thanks to Coach Ghadi and the Timeless Jump community.

This episode is packed with laughs, learning, and jump rope realness:

✅ How she stayed consistent while raising kids and working full-time

✅ Why coaching and community changed everything

✅ Her remix efforts, PVC rope loyalty, and teaching coworkers (who never practice)

✅ Physical and mental health benefits of jumping daily

✅ The power of music, footwork, and flow
