5.0 out of 5 stars
Expensive weighted jumprope - worthwhile to increase upper body strength in short bursts of cardio
This is a great jumprope - the handles rotate easily on a ball-and-hip joint. The handles have a thick black neoprene foam for comfort. The 'rope' part is weighted. I have the 4 pound version, which is the orange, heaviest one. It's bright and chipper-looking to make up for the extra kick of a workout you get. You really do get a killer upper body workout...

Like jump roping with a garden hose.
The title says it all! I don't think this jump rope is good for any fitness level/goal! I assumed that the handles would have the weight, then I open the box and see a huge orange garden hose. I tried it, and hated it. If you're not sure if you should get it, just literally go out to your garage, and try jumping rope with your garden hose...seriously...

This is a great jumprope - the handles rotate easily on a ball-and-hip joint. The handles have a thick black neoprene foam for comfort.
The 'rope' part is weighted. I have the 4 pound version, which is the orange, heaviest one. It's bright and chipper-looking to make up for the extra kick of a workout you get. You really do get a killer upper body workout from a short amount of jumping activity. Since it's so heavy, you can't really do a long cardio routine here - you have to treat the rope as a "weight" and do sets, gradually adding more revolutions over time. I also like to fold the rope in half and use it as a resistance band of sorts for stretches. The downside to this jumprope is the price. 35 dollars is a lot for a grownup version of a child's toy. However, the key to fitness is actually *using* your gear - you have to like your fitness tools and enjoy using them. This jumprope is nice in the hand, rotates smoothly and a pleasure to use. I was a little wary of the price but I am glad I bought it.

I'm a strong swimmer and this weight is perfect. 2 minute sets, thirty seconds rest, three or four times...Sweeet!
