Skipping is a terrific form of exercise that can help improve agility, balance, hand-eye co-ordination in adults and children. It teaches children about rhythm. Mark McCabe is SKIPnROPE Founder and Head Coach. He has been teaching skipping workshops for the last 9 years. SKIPnROPE's goal is to get more people reaping the benefits of skipping and developing this under utilised sport in Ireland. 

This week Mark will demonstrate a different skill each day that look very easy to do! If you don't have a skipping rope to hand perhaps you might have a washing line that you could use?

Here is the first in Mark's series of videos showing basic skipping skills.
