Just curious. I don’t think I’ve jumped for a while, maybe two weeks? I think it was performative like ‘wow I’m so happy’ to underscore a point not practical

I use a jump rope to warm up for BJJ sometimes. I also recently fucking around and cartwheeled over someone’s guard. I also summersault sometimes to flashily sit down. While typing this since you asked. Honorable mention I’ll toss people so they do involuntary jumps. Outside of that I’m often looking at good rectangle and bad rectangle so I don’t think I’ve done anything recently
Wowee that’s a lot of jumping. Sounds like fun I wish I were that mobile
It’s an interesting thing. Someone once came in the gym and it turned out they were some hot shot yoga instructor. They talked about how, for a lot of people, yoga was the only time they ever touch the ground with their hands. So people aren’t jumping, touching the ground, running, and doing nothing. I don’t know what it means but it feels like it means something
I guess that’s true? But like, that’s as much about the fact that urban living you don’t want to touch the ground. The same people may be willing to touch the earth if they were, say, picnicking in a park or camping or gardening. But they wouldn’t be out slapping palm to pavement for the fun of it.
But I was thinking about mobility and aging more generally when I asked this question cos I’m curious, jumping is a fundamental movement that I’m losing confidence in after repeated injuries, so I’m always preoccupied on occasions that I do have to, in case I land badly and worsen it.
I think about 2 days ago but it was because I made a pun about bouncing and I was forced to see it through.
I jump over things at work all the time.
Outside of work, I maybe jump a handful of times a month, and half of those are to see on top of things.
Every work day. I’m almost tall enough to check the top shelf while conditioning the store and can’t be assed to find whoever took my departments stepstool.
My most recent non-work jump was trying to train my dog to jump and hoping she would emulate me. It didn’t work.
Nearly every day. My driveway slopes down and there is a retaining wall that runs along it. Whenever I come home from walking the dog I jump up on the start of the wall and walk up it, instead of going up the stairs. It’s only about 3 feet high.at that point, so I could take a giant step, but I like to jump up on it.
I’m 45 years old, BTW
Did some light parkour yesterday trying to catch a train.
I jumped over a puddle on the sidewalk a week ago
jump a lot tbh, it’s a part of my “dance and jump around outside a bit while listening to tunes in the sun every day” anti-depression aktion
don’t really do like full practical jumps often tho really, i think i had to jump over a puddle like two months ago i guess? and ofc short hops on and off of curbs and shit i guess
“dance and jump around outside a bit while listening to tunes in the sun every day” anti-depression aktion
Sounds like fun!
yeah it’s fun and helpful, I probably look like the joker doing it but what can you do lmao
Probably yesterday? I jump up and climb anywhere I can. Idk if it’s just the autism but my brain has always been pretty much like “that’s the shortest path, so what if I have to jump over something”
Often cos am short
Yesterday when my partner told me not to jump on an elevator so I jumped off the elevator
Nooo please don’t jump in or out of elevators it’s actually unsettling im w your partner on this one
I jump in elevators all the time, although I don’t do with when other people are inside.
It’s fun, it’s not like an elevator with a 2000lb weight capacity is gonna break from a 160lb person jumping
They undergo more force when accelerating than when one person hops in them
Nobody said it’s a rational fear, it’s unsettling is all. I generally dislike lifts and will take stairs when I can
You can jump up the steps instead of taking the elevator!
I used to be a little bit more unsettled by elevators until I learned how they work. Those things are built to such insane standards that I now feel safer in them than on a 5ft staircase. I don’t think I could be less unsettled by being somewhere aside from my literal bed.
Maybe I should learn more about them. I used to have recurring nightmares of being in a plummeting elevator (not helped by the fact it’s a trope in so many action movies and games). I guess it’s like vertical thalassophobia in some ways too, like it’s the same fear of the void underneath, but also the thought that you’re separated from it by just a few feet of metal. At least in the ocean you can swim. Then, add the vertigo, air pressure discomfort and related fear of heights/ledges/precipices (“I’m heading up to a place where I’ll be uncomfortable/afraid”) means that the ascent is scary and the destination sucks. Also small enclosed space. I have been stuck in elevators twice, once for just a few minutes the other time for about half an hour… All around, do not enjoy them.
I mean the elevator had completely come to a stop so it was fine
I jump a lot, I like to run around and jump while I wait for stuff
Nearly every day at work, jumping up stairs and over puddles and such. Vertical jumped at home recently to grab something from a high place. I’m pretty much a daily jumper
Don’t do that at work. You won’t get comp if you get hurt if they csn find a way out.
Been a minute. Im short but my tip toe game is incredible full ballerina. I do lil hop to enter the stance tho, so earlier today. I am weirdly buff in muscles that people dont work out wirh but I have needed personally. My legs are like that of those mgs4 walkers and I have medically weird grip strength
probably like two months ago. I’m a mail carrier and there was this brick divider between two houses that would have taken a long time to walk around it so I jumped that shit
