The weight of the beads keep the rope spinning, rather than floating like “toy” jump ropes, so it tangles less for beginners. Seems plenty durable. My son loves it.
I’m petite, I’m too lazy to go to the gym (ironic right?), and I don’t want a drawn-out workout. I heard that 10 mins skipping rope is equal to half an hour of jogging on the road, so this little jumprope was perfect for me. It doesn’t make a huge footprint in the house, and I can work out without any equipment setup.
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.
This is a great jump rope at a great price; the kids love the 2 colors, they love the beaded look, and they love the handles.
My kids are 6, 7 (8 in 2 days) and 12. They can all easily use this size jump rope; it’s weighted well enough that they can even speed jump on some pretty windy days. I can even use this size jump rope (at 5′2″).
Buy several at once to save on the shipping cost, if you can! I ordered 2 and am going to order 2 more, and I wish I would have known what size to get the kids originally and I would have just ordered them all at once. I made the mistake of also ordering the 6′ foot rope, thinking my 6 yr old would be better off, but he can barely use the 6′ foot and can use this 8 ft with lightning speed!
I recently was told I needed to lower my blood pressure,I like was told a great way to get the heart rate up was swimming ,running and jumping rope I decided to get a jumprope. This is a strong lightweight jumprope exactly like the ones used at many schools throughout the USA .It is exactly what I wanted it to be.I expect it to continue its usefulness for years to come.
