Life recently changed and as I searched for ways to stay in shape I found an old cheap jump rope in the closet. After 3 weeks of trying, with some moderate success, I realized that the rope I was using was holding me back. I needed a longer, heavier, sturdier rope. I spent a good amount of time comparing reviews. I just got back from a workout with this product. 1. The rope is easily adjustable. I am 6'4" and it is a good height for me, but others who are average height will need to adjust. You will need basic tools (phillips screw driver and strong cutters), but you can always ask a handy friend or family member to help. 2. The rope is thick, and the handles are large. They work perfectly for me, but if you have small hands or issues with hand/joint pain you may want to take that into consideration. 3. The product is made out of good quality plastic. It shows signs of wearing from the first use, but that is to be expected. I would warn people to be careful and not throw this on the ground, the handles would likely easily crack/break or cause gouges out of the plastic that could be painful on your hands. 4. The rope is 1.5 pounds, and the weight is in the ROPE. 5. The rope performs well, is sturdy, and offers good swing and feedback. You can easily slow down or speed up as you're jumping, and the rope keeps a nice arc even on windy days. 6. One reviewer said this left red marks on their legs, I don't see how anyone could do that with this rope without some intention. It does weigh 1.5 pounds though and is fast, so be careful of your surroundings. Overall this is a good purchase and addition to my isolation routine. I wanted a solid $30 option, and this product fit the bill.

Some people said it was hard to adjust. It's not, it comes with instructions. Unscrewing is easy. It's easier to open this than most anything. You can push about 6 inches of excess rope into the handles and then any additional can be cut off. I cut it off with Dollar Store Betty Crocker (free ad for Betty C., pls send a cheque) scissors, again not hard to do. I cut through on the first attempt. I gave it 3 for lightweight because it shouldn't be lightweight. In terms of heaviness of rope though and the purpose of this rope, it should be 5 for heaviness. I mix this in with intervals with a speed rope and this definitely works you out differently. I gave it a 5 for durability but because I'm used to small speed rope handles where these are large and hollow, which is necessary for the thick rope. I worry that continuous dropping of the handles may result in cracking. I believe with the padding and some duct tape you could remedy this. So 5 for durability at this time. I gave it a 4 for beginners because it's a heavy rope and even though I could do speed rope for 30-50 minutes no problem, the first couple days of doing 1 minute intervals with this would burn me out. I was not enjoying it. After 4 days though I do like it. Some people think that a heavy rope is better for beginners because you get more feedback but I think that they're just too heavy. Overall I am so far happy with this rope.

La cuerda tiene un material excelente, el peso de la cuerda es perfecto para mantener un ritmo continuo, vale la pena comprarla.

Great skipping rope for beginners, helps with form and technique. Durable and you can adjust length. Definitely works several muscle groups, I believe that is why it can be used also for cross-fit also. Even after 2 or 3 minutes of continuous skipping you can feel your shoulders and upper back are involved.
