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
