[@anye76]

Notice the activities many of us enjoyed as children are coming back in our lives as adults as stress relief and even fitness? Trampoline/rebounder, jumping rope, roller skating, coloring, dancing and hula hoops. I'm here for it. This lady is skilled with her rope. 😊

[@DaPhlyymamee]

Hula hooping is the best!!!

I’ve been following Lauren for about a year now. She’s gotten better and better over time. I love her attitude and her smile is infectious.

Am shocked she only started in covid

[@qwhite5511]

I thought this was going to be lame but she is a boss with the rope

But you've only been stalking, I mean following her for 1 year on this 2 year old comment 🤔

Everyone who grew up in the 90s and had the traveling jump rope team perform, knew. This is amazing though.

This video got me pulling out my old Double Dutch films with my team from the 80 and 90s. The things we did on point and on rhythm in those two ropes we learned ourselves practicing on the sidewalk. Two 3 at a time, jump out the next 2 or 3 jump in without missing a beat. My Cousin was the best, she would hand stand back flip, push up and jump with her hands. Oh the memories. We still double dutch at times at 50 and 51 . Jumping rope is great exercise.

[@T9RX3]

Jump with her hands🙄

[@med0747]

Lauren is amazing! She almost makes me want to learn, almost. I'll probably just keep watching her do it.

[@harrisonjay388]

how wonderfully extraordinary that Lauren has found a way to share a passion and touch and inspire so many people. I may never jump rope, but I'll never forget the dozens of fantastic shorts Lauren has created.

[@jimbrown4339]

You’re athleticism is undeniable…truly epic performance

[@D__Lee]

Impressive! I've been jump roping for 20+ years and I still can't do many of her moves. It takes time and dedication to master those jump roping skills.

[@sonyaj66]

Agreed! I started jumping rope in late 2019, before the pandemic was A Thing, and realized that I am totally into freestyle jump roping. It is so fun, esp. when you start to "get" one of the harder tricks. I've only recently started catching mic releases by the handle...after trying and failing for over 6 months. It was a totally sweet thing (but I still can't toe catch them yet). Check out Nate K-G's tutorial on the mic release to give it a try - it's totally worth it 👍🏻.

[@JAytch2010]

Facts

[@akshaydhamale6321]

@olivia young same here, I jump 5000 daily and can do just 1 double under due to overweight. I am overweight by 25kgs hoping to lose by jumping rope.

[@largemarge1603]

@D, Lauren Jumps tells us she started in 2020.

[@SirenScorpio]

@@akshaydhamale6321 jumping rope is one of the best exercises.. imagine doing it for fun and then gav 🤦🏾‍♀️ the added addition of Weight loss 😉

Watching Lauren from then until now is a pleasure to behold.

I love seeing the practise clips cuz people need to know you have to work at it to get it right and for us to see and appreciate the end result of your hard work. I love it and I will keep on practicing.

Looking at her body, you can tell she clocked weeks and even months into getting to that level.

Wow! That is so impressive! Even better, she showed us that she learned this rather than being a natural, so beginners should not be discouraged when they find new techniques take time to learn.

[@christopherbutler7115]

Well done young lady ! You are a master at your craft, no doubt. As a child in the 60's growing up in Dublin, skipping was a fantastic and everyday 'street game' for large groups of especially, young girls to play. 1 long rope, rotated by 2 children that were 'on' and the other children would jump in , skip several times and then 'jump out' making way for the next child and all the while singing 'skipping songs' . I can still remember some of them. If a kid tripped the rope then they were 'on' and had to take their turn at rotating the rope. Its a pity children have lost these simple passtimes today and instead rely on phones for much of their social interactions.
