WHEN JUMPING: While the three size options (short, medium, & long) are generally suitable for the recommended heights for each length, Founder, Kristen Lunetta, totally gets wanting to fully personalize your rope. If choking up or down on the handles doesn't give you the ideal length when jumping, in order to incrementally adjust the length of the rope, simply tie a knot on either side or both sides of the rope closest to the handle. Kristen prefers a figure 8 knot so that it is easier to remove after resistance exercises. This is not necessary, as the rope and resistance will perform as anticipated regardless, but she tends to switch up between barefoot training days, outdoors sessions with shoes, and different skips any given day that sometimes require a slightly longer or shorter rope during her jump revolutions. DURING RESISTANCE TRAINING: When using the rope for resistance exercises, there are various ways you can anchor the rope and adjust the tension. If solely using your body, simply create a loop on the ground and step on either side of the rope. The bigger the loop, the greater the tension. If anchoring to a post, pole, or door hinge, you can simply step farther way from that anchor point or double loop it around. Be sure to take advantage of the rope release under the metal jacket located on the end of each handle (SEE TUTORIALS PAGE) in order to make snaking it through a door hinge or tight access point even easier. Simply reattach the handle thereafter, and get after that strength!
