Tangle-Free Skipping Rope

Brilliant skipping rope. I would defo recoomend.

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.

Bought for friend who's trying to keep fit at the moment good price too I would definitely buy again thank you

It is good quality but it is too long for me by quite a bit. I am 161cm / 5'3" for reference. The skipping rope seems durable and it is lightweight. In terms of the handles, they are like a firm sponge texture. It is good for those who want to include a bit more fun and variation in their exercise routine. It can also be used for skipping rope games as it is quite long.

As per description, simple to adjust the length and comfortable handles. Definitely wear shoes when using as will whip your toes if you misstep.

I like this product. I used to skip rope a lot when I was younger and boxing (and I used everything, from actual rope to guitar's jack cable). During the lockdown, since there is no swimming pool open (yes, I switched to swimming at some point in my life due to the less heavy impact on joints) I went back to skipping rope and bought this product. It's perfect for beginner to intermediate. It allows fast skipping as well as slower. The weight and handles are good enough to allow you several tricks. Also is great that allows you to adjust the length of the cable (I didn't need to, but it's nice to have it). The handles are actually very good. The memory foam makes it for a good grip. Unfortunately I broke it after a couple of months of heavy use (1hr a day for 5 days a week). The cable inside the cover snapped. I could have put it back with the remaining cable but than the rope would become too short. I bought it again since I found myself really well with this product.

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.

Uso esta cuerda de saltar a diario desde que me la compré, y estoy encantado. Es de cuerda metálica fina recubierta de una capa de goma suave, con los puños de espuma. Como es un poco larga la he tenido que ajustar, aunque es muy fácil. Vienen unas instrucciones de como hacerlo. La he usado en suelo liso de parquet, o sobre cesped en el parque, o sobre asfalto, y va fenomenal. De momento no se ha desgastado. Estoy muy contento con esta compra.

Ok

Ho acquistato questa corda per saltare Gritin per i miei allenamenti quotidiani e devo dire che è davvero ben fatta! La qualità è eccellente, e si vede subito che è progettata per durare nel tempo. Cosa mi è piaciuta di più: ✔️ Regolazione facile: Il sistema per modificare la lunghezza è semplicissimo e permette di adattare la corda alla propria altezza in pochi secondi. ✔️ Maniglie ergonomiche: Le impugnature in schiuma memory foam sono morbidissime e non scivolano, anche durante sessioni intense. ✔️ Scorrimento fluido: I cuscinetti a sfera rendono il movimento della corda molto scorrevole, senza intoppi. ✔️ Corda resistente: Il cavo è robusto ma leggero, perfetto per allenamenti veloci o esercizi di forza. ✔️ Accessori inclusi: La confezione include anche un regolatore di lunghezza di ricambio, un bel plus! L’ho usata per allenamenti cardio e HIIT, ed è perfetta sia per principianti che per chi vuole migliorare la velocità. La consiglio a chi cerca una corda professionale a un prezzo accessibile. Spedizione rapida e prodotto imballato con cura. 5 stelle meritate!

It has the added function of hurting when you fail so you learn quickly! :)

Das Produkt wurde sehr sicher verpackt und kam schnell nach meiner Bestellung. Die Verpackung ist sehr schön und das Springseil sieht auch toll aus. Es lässt sich leicht auf die passende Größe einstellen.Die Griffe mag ich auch weil sie sehr weichen Überzuge haben und dadurch lässt sich das Seil gut halten.
