Really good product

Ooh in these strange times it’s funny how little things suddenly mean an awful lot. I looked down in horror as I discovered that my skipping rope had nearly worn through completely. As I am someone who has been sitting on his bottom for many years at work I decided that I had to do more exercise. Joining the gym/leisure club some 20 years ago ! was a good move and I decided that the days I did not go to the gym do swimming was a good opportunity for me to do some exercise at home and I chose skipping on our back patio. This is an excellent exercise as it give you a good cardio and respiratory workout – essential in these troubled times. It’s also possible of course to do as many as one wishes and to go as fast as I can. I also set myself little goals where for instance I am not allowed to start breathing through my mouth until I have done the first 200. I an very grateful to Amazon logistics and Gritin as after advising that it was out of stock and there would be a bit of a delay – they upgraded their delivery and it was overnighted so that in effect there was no break in my skipping routine as of course I have had to ramp it up with the gym being closed. Please note skipping on a stone surface patio is not ideal. It’s not ideal for your joints and also it’s not ideal for the skipping rope or wire as sooner or later it wears and breaks. The new rope is of a wonderful length which for a shorter bloke like me can be easily adjusted. It’s the usual design that I like of a heavy gauge wire covered in a plastic or polythene sheath. This feels good and works well. The hollow handles are easy to hold and are made from a nice spongy material that is easy to grip and comfortable. They have nice bearings so that the rope whizzes round easily enough. The hollow nature of the grip also means that you can pull the excess length of wire through, shorten it and then re-assemble the stopper on the end of the handle. It’s a good design and if you are skipping indoors on a mat perhaps then it’s absolutely fine. For me, skipping on the patio the following observations apply. It’s not as heavy gauge as my old one – bought via Amazon some years ago. This means the wind and the unevenness of the patio can make the rope fly up or drift as you skip along. Even wind will affect it and I find myself having to stop as I have it caught round my feet ! Not a good look ! Also the lighter weight of the wire means that it does not travel as quickly as I would like especially when I start to speed up. The wire rope seems a bit floppy especially when there is a wind and I am having to concentrate more than I would like on my feet and the position of the rope. The handles are okay but my old ones with the shaped grips that were firmer were better suited in my mind as I tend to grip it harder as I get into it and the spongy consistency of the handles makes this less pleasing. Please don’t think this is a bad rope. Its perfect for those of skipping indoors on a mat perhaps.Moreover, I am sure when I have been using it for some time it will be fine but for now I am missing my old one but of course grateful to be able to continue with my activities in these tricky times and of course to Amazon logistics, Gritin for wonderful, prompt delivery.

Do CrossFit, rope is brilliant. Good length for me in 5'7". Easy to pack, rarely tangle. Doesnt cause me to mess up sets

I bought this rope after seeing great reviews online from users and fitness experts. It is a great rope to get into skipping and easy to use. It is adjustable so it can be tailored to your height. I am 5'4 so I did have to use wire cutters to trim off the excess rope. I use it on a concrete surface and after 1 week It snapped. The adjustors also slide about so they need constant fiddling. After 3 weeks the rope has become slack and starting to wear down. However, despite this, I have learnt a lot and improved my technique immensely due to this rope. It is also really cheap so a perfect introductory rope. I have now upgraded to Beast Gear Elite Rope as I know hope to increase my speed and technique.

Update 27/03/2021 So today I’ve decided to start skipping after a year away. My rope has never been subjected to moisture of any kind and is safely stored when not used. The rope has broken off at the exact point where it makes contact with the bearings. First one side and then the other. Now the rope is too short for me to use. I’m a little bit disappointed as this an unexpected point of failure. The plastic where the rope hits the concrete while I skip is still in decent condition and it was a good rope to skip with. The handles are covered in foam so provide a soft non slip grip. It’s lightweight considering the rope is made from steel covered in plastic and making adjustments is really simple and there are extra locking tabs which hold the adjustment in place incase some gets damaged. The rope has lasted so far with light to moderate use (10 mins 3-5 times a week some weeks) on concrete and the plastic sheath shows little signs of wear and the bearings are still turning smoothly. Really good speed rope that can make me look like I know what I’m doing sometimes.

Comfortable handles, looks well made. A bit short for me. Im 6'3

You’ll need to adjust the length of the cord. This is a metal wire plastic coated. Measure the length you need you can YouTube that or put two feet on the cord and hold the cord and handles up and straight. The end of the handles should come to about nipple or shoulder height Snip with pliers but do a few cm at a time in case you shorten them too much. Great quality. Cord in handles swivel freely. Wonderful to work with. Absolutely delighted with these. If you’re new to skipping, look at jump rope for beginners on YouTube. Those demonstrators make it look so easy. My legs were fatigued after ten skips. My heart rate went through the roof. I recorded it on Apple Watch at HIIT although there are dedicated skipping apps in the App Store but be wary some of those are extortionate. Just use your AW. Oh, I bought a mat too which was pricey but reduces impact on your feet and I could do the skipping in doors I thought I’d have to go outside. After a week I’ve got the technique right and jumping fifty times which is about 25 seconds then resting 30 seconds then repeat for fifteen minutes. I was drenched with sweat. Good luck.
