I hadn't jumped rope since I was a kid, when some friends told me it was a great toning workout. I browsed videos on these workouts and picked out this one, and I have been very satisfied. The results I've gotten so far are what you could expect for only a few minutes a day, but it's definitely been adding up.

Buudy Lee has produced an amazing jump rope skills video. Everything is performed in a sequence that takes beginners up to a proficient level . Experienced jumpers can learn more skills and become expert jumpers. The only caveat that I have is for athletes looking for sport-specific routines. You'll need to buy Buddy's book with the same cover photo and title. The book and DVD need to be packaged as a set. RU listening Buddy???

I bought this video looking for a workout. It was more instructional, I did learn a couple of things. But, if you are looking for a workout to follow, this is not it.

If you are looking for a workout routine, skip this DVD as it is absolutely worthless. This was not even a good instructional video. This looked more like a video introduction/sales pitch for the book. There are no workout routines, no instructions for jump rope technique, just repeated video clips of someone jumping rope and repeated request that you "see my book" for complete instructions. The only good thing is that Amazon allowed me to return this.

The DVD runs about 28 minutes, five of which are the introduction (which is essentially Buddy Lee's biography) and conclusion (which is a list of testimonials). The DVD shows a number of jump rope moves and lists a four step workout program, but doesn't get into the details of what each of those steps entails. Additionally, the 2nd edition of his companion book updates the workout consolidates the program into three steps and actually lists what those steps are. I recommend skipping this and buying the book.

Hey for fun I tried this...and loved it! Man you forget how much endurance is needed for something like jumping rope! Very good DVD and the trainer does an excellent job of training and fun. Now I put it on at least once a week!

Excellent video of jump rope techniques. While some seem truly beyond the abilities of the average person, the techniques described can help a regular person get reasonably close to some of the more advanced moves. The basic instruction is priceless, and it is worth the price to watch Buddy Lee defy gravity. Get it!

The program on the tape is really well put together.
Well worth the money!
