“Jump rope is my Sudoku, my crossword puzzle.” 🧩☀️
That’s how Sarah Caldwell (@leaps_and_bounds62) describes her skipping sessions — and honestly, it’s the perfect hook.
In this episode of The Jump Rope Podcast, Sarah shares how she found jump rope during the pandemic, why it keeps her brain sharp at age 66, and how meetups, coaching, and the community have brought sunshine to her world.
We talk footwork, proprioception (yep, big word), rope-bending, and what it means to jump for joy instead of views.
Sarah’s story is living proof that it’s never too late to pick up a rope, play, and thrive.
💡 Expect wisdom, laughter, and a reminder that staying injury-free is the real flex.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
