Ader Sporting Goods2 lb Blue Heavy Power/Weighted Jump Rope

At first I thought jump route was too stiff and heavy but the more I use it the better it gets. Its a great workout. I alternate between my speed rope and weighted rope. the only con is the swivel handles could be better. It does not rotate as smooth as other swivel joints but as I said it gets better the more you use it. Initially I could only jump 10 times and had to stop because my wrist hurt but now I can go up to 55 without stopping. Overall I love it

I have used this rope about 1 - 2 times a week since i purchased it. I use it in a gym with a matted floor. I would say my use was moderate since I typically used it in interval training 30 - 60 seconds, for 10 or 15 reps. Upon receiving the rope I noticed that it was definitely not 2lbs, I was ok with that because it felt close enough to it. After about 3 months of use, the rope broke at the handles and is unrepairable. I'm very dissappointed.

Here is what i found challenging with this jump rope:1) the handle swivels really do not help much so in order to crank this rope around requires a lot of arm movement2) if you have bad shoulders or wrists, this rope will wreak havoc on either3) if you are a barefoot jumper, hitting your toes with this rope is somewhat painfulThe jump rope is decent quality and appears to be fairly sturdy so there do not appear to be any type of design flaws.

I have been using the 2lb jump rope for a couple of weeks now. I have been jumping rope for about two yrs and this rope is a horse. I have used a weighted handle jump rope 2 lb. thus far. The new rope itself weighs two lbs. so the speed of the rope is much slower and it works the outside of your arms until you can't continue.By the end of the 3rd 3 minute round I am happy the warm up is over. I miss the speed of my other ropes doing the double under and such. I am looking forward to see if I made any gains when I tryout my old rope again.

Best jump rope.... PERIOD.Great for speed, strength and overall body tone. I am just in awe at how great I feel after using this magic rope :-) very durable and lightweight.

It's an okay product. Nice weight to it but it doesn't always unfold or uncurl all the way. You can get a good workout out of it though.

Great work out. Wrists get a great work out and leaves me feeling like I just ran a mile after I do 100. Only thing is - be careful what surface you are doing it on. If you do it on a standard rubber mat you find at the gym then you should be fine, but I did it on concrete in my garage and it seems to eat away the rubber a bit.

This rope is a great change of pace from my speed rope. The weight is distributed evenly and the rope can take a beating. The only negative is with a speed rope you want to turn your wrists to move the rope, but with this rope you have to move the arms more.I recommend if you are jumping rope to get into shape and need a change of pace rope.

very effective to get body in shape, burn fat and make lean muscles..

Product that was delivered looks nothing like the one in that was ordered. And weighs nothing close to 2lbs

It is not 2 lbs in weight. It is a normal speed jump rope.
