Skipping regularly, Kirby exercises leg, producing gas (7)

I believe the answer is:

krypton

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gas' is the definition.
(I know that krypton is a type of argonon)

'skipping regularly kirby exercises leg' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'exercises' could be 'pt' (Physical Training) and 'pt' is present in the answer.
'leg' could be 'on' (cricket term, fielding positions) and 'on' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'producing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
