Beads, Balance & CMT: How Anna Found Joy in Jump Rope (Ep. 32)

Anna Øygarden Larsen (@anna_jumps) is a physiotherapist from Norway who lives with CMT (Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease), a rare neuromuscular condition that affects her balance and agility.

She fell in love with jump rope as a way to have fun, stay active, and support both her mental and physical health—and she hasn’t looked back.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How she got started with jump rope
• The role of coaching and Tricktionary+ in her skill development
• Jumping with CMT and adapting movement with creativity
• The joy of rope flow and freestyling without pressure
• The deep power of community meetups and shared experience
• And our shared reflection on the value of being inspired by others—but only comparing to yourself

Whether you’re learning your first crisscross or just vibing in your living room, Anna’s story is a great reminder that movement is for everyone.

🎧 Keep listening—this one is full of heart.
