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

Today, when I literally leaped out of bed, as I am wont to do. But in general, I'd say I jump pretty often because it's fun! Definitely recommend skipping if you haven't in a while, it's damn near impossible to feel sad while skipping.

Something I used to do as a kid was routinely jump down entire flights of stairs and land sprawled out in comical slapstick fashion. Definitely don't trust myself these days not to sprain my ankle (or worse).

I jumped down ten steps as a young adult and twisted my ankle. It was not fun. Didn't get back full range of motion until about two years later
