How Lise Lost 20 Kilos and Found a Jump Rope Family (Ep. 29)

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. 😄🪢

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
