we also wanted to supplement them with things like a jump rope
As my husband and I hit our 40's we started feeling the effects that we weren't as young as we thought we were in our heads! The aches and pains started creeping in, but we decided that we weren't going to let it take us sitting down. We've both been trying to work out together and have been getting some equipment that we can use at home. While we already have some bigger pieces, we also wanted to supplement them with things like a jump rope. I was very surprised at how lightweight this jump rope was when it arrived, but at the same time the weight didn't prevent its performance. It can go fast! Currently I have a jump rope at home that came free with a weighted ball and it was also very lightweight. However, that particular jump rope is very hard to use. The &#34;rope&#34; part of it is wrapped in rubber and doesn't straighten out all the way. It is also hard to get a fast rate going. I often felt like I was just skip jumping like a child. That wasn't the case with this jump rope. The cable stays straight and allows it to move fast. I also liked that it can be adjusted to size by sliding the screws down and cutting it (though it does require a hacksaw or wire cutter to cut through the cable) and they have included easy instructions to do that. The handles have a good grip and allow it to swing nicely. It coils up nice and small so it can easily be brought along to workout outside or at the gym.<br /><br />Disclosure: I received this product for little or no cost in exchange for testing and an honest review.
