Olympic Style Jump Rope, 8'(blue & white) Review

Average Reviews:

I had read a previous review that said that this length worked well for both her and her younger son.Thank goodness I read that review because I would have ordered a rope that was too long.I am 5'2" and this 8 foot rope is perfect.I really like how the long plastic beads keep the rope in a perfect arc.

Valeo 2-Pound Weighted Jump Rope Review

This rope is for people wanting serious rope training. I am purchasing my second. 1st one finally broke in the middle after about 18 months of regular outdoor use. Rope will tangle if weights are removed and handles not reassembled properly. I tried the Everlast weighted leather, but it is too short at 9 ft (I am 6 ft).

This rope is ideal for men 5'10" and up. 10 ft with 2 pounds will smoke you after a short workout. Great after a run. Try doubles (pass the rope twice between skips). I don't recommend this rope for beginners. As you can see from other reviews, it's just too heavy. You have to skip with authority. Rope will untangle once you get it going. Best rope on Amazon. Don't hesitate.

with ball bearings in the wooden handles, and a real leather "rope" this is a perfect exercise jump rope.I am 5'10" and the 9.5 footer is the correct length for me.I would not get the shorter rope unless you are 5'6 or shorter in height.

AeroSpace NYC: AeroJump workout Review

AeroSpace NYC: AeroJump workout
Average Reviews:

I recently started adding rope jumping to my kickboxing fitness routine because it is a great cross-training exercise & seems to complement the kickboxing well.I heard of Michael O from way back in the Kathy Smith days of "Aerobox" and knew he was the real deal.I picked this dvd up- Aerojump Skills 123 & the Aerojump/sculpt, which I haven't done yet.

I've only done "skills 1" & it's a tough 25 minutes of rope jumping! It was intense but left me invigorated- I wanted to keep going. My calves/legs were burning during the workout & could really feel it in my arms & shoulders, as well.I'm happy I purchased his dvds for added intensity & variety.Michael explains how to jump rope correctly & is a true master at it- he is impressive to watch! Rope jumping & the kickboxing will get anyone in phenomenal shape- I've already seen improvements in my cardio capacity, my arm & leg strength & inches lost with this rotation.

Aerojump is a great workout- rope jumping is reported to burn massive amounts of calories (11 calories per minute) & even exceeds running to some degree because of the muscle building associated with rope jumping.I highly recommend his Aerojump dvd to anyone looking to bust a serious fitness & weight loss plateau.

Valeo Deluxe Speed Jump Rope Review

Valeo Deluxe Speed Jump Rope
Average Reviews:

Yes, it's a decent speed rope for the money and yes, it's extremely frustrating to adjust.For me, the problem wasn't so much in getting the metal cap off (easily done with a simple, sturdy flathead screwdriver pinned in the center of the tab) nor was it in actually adjusting the length of the rope.The problem was in getting the tab back in the handle.The cylindrical metal tab has to be snug in the handle lest it fly off during your excercise, but OH MYYY!!!, getting it back in requires an incredible and equal amount of pressure on all sides at the same time.I spent almost an hour before I finally got lucky and was able to push it back in.Good luck!!

As for the review concerning knots, I can see how they might prove to be cumbersome with the hindering of the motion of the rope.However, I'm not sure why anyone would want to tie knots in the first place.Just cut away the excess rope.

Now that my frustration is gone and my rope is fixed, it does a great job.
