You WILL skip on other planets like a little fairy and you WILL enjoy it:
>Skipping vs. running as the bipedal gait of choice in hypogravity
>Although skipping is never more metabolically economical than running, the difference becomes marginal at lunar gravities, with both bouncing gaits approaching values of walking on Earth (cost ≈2 J·kg−1·m−1). Nonmetabolic factors may thus be allowed to dominate the choice of skipping on the Moon.
