New Balance Speed Jump Rope - 9 Foot Long Adjustable Jumping Rope | Tangle-Free Skipping Cable & Ultra-Grip Handles | Best for Adult Women/Men, Kids, Cardio Fitness Training & Workout Exercise

The rope is light weight and is great for all levels. The handles are comfortable to hold. I pack it in my drawstring bag and walk to my local park to jump rope. I'm making the most of the remaining sunny days.

I've been looking for something simple that I can add to my exercise routine at home. I wanted an easy cardio option on days when it's too hot or cold to run. This is working great so far, though it took me a few tries to remember how to jump rope! It's been a while since I was 10 or so. Anyway, it is customizable to your size. Just unscrew the end of one handle and move the little stopper to the desired length. Also soak the length of the rope in hot water to get rid of the packaging kinks. My rope length was twisting up after a few jumps, and I realized that the rope wasn't moving freely on the side I had adjusted. Because I'd just folded the extra length into the handle, it was keeping the rope from turning as it should. I had to cut the extra length so the end had some wiggle room in the handle. These little tips may be obvious to some, but I wish they had been in the instructions. All things considered though, it's a very nice jump rope, with the quality I expect from new balance.

Off the top I am a bit leery about just how durable the vinyl sheath will be when this rope is used outside over concrete flooring, but so far it seems to be holding up well. I didn't grow up jumping rope, so, there was a bit of a learning curve (my wife helped be a bit with pointers). The cardio work is over the top and I have been working the minutes up slowly, but it gets my heart pumping (and I hope that as I get more accustomed to the rhythm I will get more efficient).The rope and handles are light weight, with a nice no slip grip, we adjusted the rope to fit me, but my wife can still use it without the extra inches hampering here style. Overall, this is a good jump rope for cardio work, as long as I can keep from tripping. P-)

The media could not be loaded.  This jump rope is so cool! I am not going to the gym because of Covid, and I have put on a few pounds. I got this jump rope because I can easily smuggle it into work, and I can exercise in my classroom (in between classes, of course 🙂)!Well, it has been many years since I have jumped rope, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that I can still do it (over age 60). Man, that is a workout!! I easily got my heart rate up. Great cardio workout! And, it's actually fun!It is easy to adjust the length to accommodate any height. Good quality! Highly recommend!I hope you find this review helpful, and enjoy my video! 😊

Wrangling animals? Building a pulley system? Doing cardio? Well, look no further if you're a cardio-loving, pulley-building horse wrangler. While you probably won't wrangle horses or build pulleys with this rope, you can definitely get in a good rope-jumping session. The grips are soft and easy to hold, and the bearings inside allow the rope to spin quite flawlessly. It's light but with enough weight to prevent the rope from just flailing around. A quality rope for experienced jumpers and beginners alike.
