Effective and Stylish Jump Rope
For some people, working out in itself is a lifestyle choice, and with that lifestyle, they demand more from such sessions than many others. Not only do they demand an effective workout, they also want to work out in style, as the method of working out can be seen as art, and the accessories they use must fit into that artistic expression. This is what you get with the Pulse Weighted Jump Rope, a highly effective workout tool that gives you maximum effectiveness in a stylish design.
No compromises have been made here with this jump rope, giving you both a maximum workout as well as looking like a true artistic piece, with its flashy but stylish design that looks more like a high-tech tool than a traditional jump rope. Despite this fact, though, it works just the same as any other jump rope, even those geared towards children, so there shouldn't need to be any change in one's routine in order to start using this exercise tool. In fact, the ergonomics of this jump rope make it a pleasure to use, and may actually aid users in performing better jump rope techniques that they simply haven't been able to do with cheaper and far less effective models. Regardless of what exact exercises you wish to use this jump rope for, you'll be able to perform them in style.
Weighted Grips
One of the aspects of this jump rope that aids in its overall effectiveness is in the weighted grips, which give you more resistance in your arms and hands, yet which many people will find helps swing the rope faster and more evenly. This helps prevent many of the problems that some users often find with using jump ropes, such as mis-timed jumps or uneven swings that cause the rope to not swing evenly, while also giving your arms and hands more of a workout. If doing the latter simply isn't your preference and you prefer to have less weight on the hands, though, this isn't a problem either - the weights can be removed from the handles, giving the jump rope a more traditional feel.
Plenty of other features are included in this jump rope that make it a truly remarkable product. For one, the length of the rope can be adjusted precisely to your preference, with the rope ranging up to 10 feet in length. This allows those who are up to 6'6" in height to be able to use this device effectively. The thick rope also helps give it a smooth rotation while also remaining highly durable, so even intensive workouts done frequently won't easily wear down this product's durability. In short, anyone who wants the ultimate workout experience that maximizes everything ranging from its effectiveness to its style will find this to be the best jump rope available.

Double Unders are Easy
Right off the bat, the WOD Nation Speed Jump Rope was designed especially for cross fit training. Using this model, you can achieve a high speed of rope spinning, which makes it a perfect sports equipment for practicing double unders (two rotations of the jump rope per jump). What's more, only 15 - 20 minutes of training with the jump rope will equal 30 minutes of jogging on a treadmill, which is simply amazing!
What we like about the WOD Nation Speed Jump Rope in particular though, is that contrary to many similar products, on which the rope is fastened with a knot tied on its end with the rope pulled through the handle holes, on this model, the rope ends are pulled through bearings. This makes the rope rotation faster and thus your training more effective. What's also convenient about this design is that it's possible to shorten the rope by simply cutting it so you can adjust its length to fit your height.
Moving on, the WOD Nation Speed Jump Rope has excellent durability thanks to its structure that houses in a metal cord, making it well-balanced and heavy enough to be well controlled. Also worth mentioning is that this rope comes including a handy bag for storage and transportation so if you decide to take it with you when going somewhere, it will be easy to do! Finally, we'd like to point out that the WOD Nation Speed Jump Rope is available in 8 attractive colors, giving you plenty of choices which one to buy for yourself.
Did You Know?
The American Heart Association has acknowledged that a jump rope is as one of the best and most effective sports gear for keeping your cardiovascular system in a good condition. In terms of a calorie burn, jump roping is equivalent to jogging, though it affects sinews and spine considerably less, making it safer for novice athletes. According to the research, 10 minutes of skipping is equivalent to 3 kilometres of cycling, 12 minutes of swimming, playing 2 sets of court tennis or a mile of distance run. Furthermore, according to calculations, one jour of jump rope exercises at a speed of 100 - 120 jumps per minute allows you to burn up to 700 calories, which's an impressive result! No wonder that professional athletes engaged in all kinds of sports do jump rope exercises regularly. It is a good way to not only improve the coordination of movements but also warm up and strengthen leg muscles.

Tangle-Free Cable
What is the biggest problem that people run into when using a jump rope? If you ask a group of people this question, the first answer will probably be how to use one properly. The second, though, would undoubtedly be in getting the rope tangled. Even for those with perfect form when using a jump rope, a less than ideal model will tend to tangle, starting at the handle and thus twisting the cord about to prevent the rope from working correctly. That is why many manufacturers, including those of the DEGOL Tangle-Free with Ball Bearings Jump Rope, advertise their products as being tangle-free. However, even many of those tend to tangle, but not this one.
The design of this jump rope from DEGOL gives it a true tangle-free experience, thanks in large part to the rope used as well as the ball bearings in the handles. The ball bearings ensure the rope maintains a loose and freely moving rotation that won't catch or snag in the handle, while the rope itself is actually a steel cable covered in PVC, giving it not only a smooth texture that allows it to rotate freely through the ball bearings, but also an extra-durable covering that ensures that the rope will never break on you, regardless of how rigorous a workout you use it for.
Ergonomic Grip
The grip of a jump rope tends to be another problematic area for a lot of models. Jump ropes with a less than ideal grip can often lead to hand fatigue early on during the exercise, which can then lead to less than ideal results. Again, though, this model has taken this problem out of the equation. The grips are lightweight, helping to avoid excess hand fatigue, and quite comfortable to hold, as they are covered in a memory foam that will conform to your precise grip, essentially making them an extension of your hands. They are also well-balanaced, meaning that you won't fatigue in one arm before the other, and allow for easily manipulating the rope, regardless of which type of exercise you are using them for.
One other great feature about this jump rope is that the rope itself is adjustable, something you generally only find on expensive, high-end models. The total cord length of 9 feet make this jump rope ideal for users who are 6 feet in height, but it can easily be adjusted down to a lower length for those who require less from the rope. Adjusting the cord is quite easy for anyone to do, and takes less than a minute to accomplish. At the end of the day, this jump rope gives users virtually everything they would possibly need in such an exercise tool, making it a top choice for anyone.

Take With You Anywhere
One of the great things about a good jump rope is that it is an exercise tool that you can use virtually anywhere, whether at home, at the park, the gym, or perhaps even in the office. These are not large and heavy tools, making them easy to transport, so you can always keep it at hand. Although some of the more high-end jump ropes out there do make some trade-offs with the easy transport of the tool, you won't have any trade-offs with the Fitness Factor Adjustable Jump Rope with Carrying Pouch. This jump rope is a high-quality tool that easily competes with more expensive models while retaining the ability to take it with you and use it anywhere you go.
First off, this model comes with a handy carry pouch, something that is missing from many of the more expensive models. Although most jump ropes by their nature aren't that difficult to fold up and store away, the higher-end ones with stiffer ropes and heavier handles can take away from their portability. This model, however, retains the same portability as any cheaper jump rope, and even includes the bag that lets you carry it or store it away safely, all without having to make any trade-offs in its design. In short, it provides excellent value for the money.
Great for Beginners
When we mention that this jump rope doesn't make trade-offs in its design, that means that it easily holds its own in ease of use and effectiveness as any higher-end jump rope. Much of this starts with the grips, which are ergonomically designed to give you a comfortable yet firm grip while remaining lightweight. The foam padding on them lets you hold onto it tightly without straining your hands. The rope itself is both durable and tangle resistant, thanks to the ball bearings in the handle that give it completely free rotation, along with the highly durable rope. Speaking of which, the rope length is also adjustable, ranging in its length for people 4 ft 9 in to 6 ft in height, making this a jump rope that almost anyone can use easily and comfortably.
One other great thing about this jump rope, and one that makes it especially suitable for beginner users, is the personal trainer's guide that comes with it. This manual gives you easy to follow step-by-step instructions for conducting a variety of different exercises with the jump rope, showing you both the perfect form for using it as well as providing a routine to follow that will let you get the best use out of it. If you're wanting a high-end jump rope but without having to pay high-end prices for it, then this jump rope from Fitness Factor will give you exactly what you need.

The Ultimate Jump Rope
Many people don't really realize the characteristics that are truly needed in a jump rope until they use one, and find that they have problems with using it correctly. Many of the top jump ropes on the market have a number of features that they claim makes them the best, but all it really comes down to is how easy it is to use, as well as how effective it will be. You get both of these characteristics in abundance with the Master of Muscle Master Double Jump Rope, an exercise tool that has been designed to be as effective as possible.
First things first, most users will want to know just how well-designed this jump rope is, and they won't be disappointed to find out that it easily matches with the best models out there. Basically, this jump rope has everything you need to help give yourself an effective workout. Starting with the grips, they aren't the most comfortable out there, but they're plenty effective in giving you a good grip, and also very lightweight, so you aren't overly tiring out your arms and hands. The rope itself is actually a metal cable covered in PVC and leather, giving it a durable build while also allowing it to freely move without worries of tangles or kinks. In other words, the basic features here won't give you anything at all to complain about.
HANDLES DESIGN
What makes this model really stand out from the crowd of other jump ropes is in the design of the cable's attachment to the handles. The cable is attached at a 90 degree angle, which may seem intimidating to users who haven't used such a jump rope before, but believe it or not, this particular design won't be difficult to get to grips with. You will have to hold the grips slightly differently than with most other models, but what you get in return is the ability to obtain much more revolutions per minute than you'll get from any other jump rope. This lets you hit those double under with ease instead of constantly having to worry about tripping the rope, and lets those who are jump rope masters finally use a rope that can keep up with them.
What is also worth mentioning about this jump rope is about how slim and light the whole package is. Despite the heavy-duty cable, it is easy to roll up, and the light and narrow grips help make it easy to stow away anywhere. A carry pouch is included with the jump rope that gives you something easily designed to store it or carry it in, and you even get a free fitness training e-book that gives you some great tips on how to achieve the best workout. All in all, this complete jump rope package gives you everything you need, along with extra capabilities that help put it at the top of the pack.

What Is a Jump Rope?
A jump rope is a simple and compact sports gear that is very popular among both fitness fans and professional athletes. Moreover, it’s hard to imagine a workout of volleyball or basketball players, CrossFit practitioners, speed jumpers or boxers without using a skipping rope. This sports equipment is great for improving your attention as well as movement coordination. What’s more, it can bring additional fitness benefits such as developing leg muscles, good posture, and muscle flexibility. If you practice skipping on a regular basis, the jump rope will also improve the state of your respiratory, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. In addition, jump ropes have a positive impact on visceral organs too. Rope jumping will also be highly appreciated by people who want to lose some weight. You can use such rope for both muscle warming-up and intensive workouts. Note that jumping stimulates blood circulation and supplies leg muscles not only with blood but also with oxygen. Being compact, this item can be easily transported and stored. As this sports equipment is universal, men, women, and children can use it for their workouts.
Rope jumping can be combined with other sports equipment such as hula hoops and dumbbells. On buying them, your regular workouts will definitely result in a perfect body shape.
What Features to Compare
Type
Depending on a fitness level and a goal users pursue, there are several types of jump ropes to choose from. Here they are:
- Beaded ropes have a nylon cable coated with plastic or polyurethane. The cable is divided into some 1.5-inch colored segments so that a jumper could be spotted from any corner of the gym.
- Cloth ropes feature cables that are equal to that of their beaded counterparts. Use this rope at competitions and you will add a touch of color to the sports atmosphere.
- Leather ropes can boast leather cable and wooden handles. Owing to their weight and silent interaction with the floor surface, this sports equipment is great for advanced workouts.
- Speed ropes are made of a thin vinyl wire. They suit both gym and home intensive fat-burning workouts.
- Wire or cable ropes are considered to be the most high-speed due to their light weight and small diameter. The cable of such a rope is made of a metal wire covered with nylon, silicon, or PVC.
- Weighted ropes are equipped with ball bearings, so this item is perfect for intensive workouts.
- Double Dutch ropes are a combination of two skipping ropes of 14-60 feet in length. It is turned by two people standing in front of each other while a few people jump in the center. Double Dutch rope may be beaded, clothed, or licorice.
Length
Determine the length of a skipping rope to suit your height. To do so, you should take both handles in one hand and raise the rope at the level of your chest. If the rope reaches the floor, its length is considered to be optimal. However, if the rope is shorter or longer than it should be, it's not a big deal since you can adjust it according to your height. This way, all modern skipping ropes are versatile and suitable for men, women, and children alike. Furthermore, there are common standards for the rope’s length. If your height is up to 4′11″, the rope length mustn’t exceed 5'11''. Is your height 5'5"? If so, the jump rope mustn’t be more than 8'2''. Are you as tall as 5'7"? Don’t buy a rope longer than 9'1''. If you are up to 6' or taller, pay attention to ropes of 9'10'' and 11'5'' respectively.
Material
Finally, pay attention to the material a rope is made of. Beaded ropes are elastic enough and excellent for hard floor surfaces. Furthermore, such ropes don’t tangle while jumping or storing. Ropes with the vinyl coating are great for indoor workouts. As for leather ropes, they are recognized to be the heaviest among their counterparts, thus, they will be a perfect option for advanced athletes. Cloth ropes easily slide on the floor surface. If you are a novice jumper, you'd better buy such a rope for your workouts. Most cables of modern skipping ropes are made of a metal wire with a special coating. What’s more, don’t forget about the handles material. Plastic handles are quite convenient to use but they can slip out of jumper’s hands. Regarding neoprene handles, they can absorb your sweat, thus, they are unlikely to slide out too. Wooden handles are often attached to leather ropes. They made this sports gear heavier and more effective for advanced workouts. The same is true for metal handles that can deliver an advanced training load to your hands and shoulders.
