Weighted Jump Rope

Well-made, sturdy, easy to clean, and straightforward weighted jump rope.It has similar thickness to a battle rope, has the sleeve as advertised and is easy to wipe down should you get it dirty. I bought the 3lb/1.3 kg one and it does what I expect it to. It shipped in a plastic bag with the nylon carry bag and exercise/stretch guide as seen in the picture. I'm 5' 8"/~172 cm and the rope length is perfect for me to use on the coated handles. Adjust where you hold it for more/less length; my 6' friend had no problem holding it lower, and my 5' 4" wife just had to hold it up past the coated handle for reference.I don't have much upper body strength, however I didn't notice the shoulder pain as much as my wife when she tried it. Since these don't have a rotating handle, you do need to rotate the rope in either your wrists, elbows or both. I rotate with my wrists keeping my elbows close to my body and feel the fatigue there after a short time, so where you hurt will probably have more to do with technique.I like jump with this for 30-60 seconds, then tie it around my chest for a little weight and switch to a non-weighted rope. It's a great tool to have and I saw a guy on Youtube tying it around handrails to do pull-ups or rows with. Very creative, do so at your own risk haha.I might try the other brand red/blue rope with the plastic rotating handles or a knockoff Crossrope in the future; no shame, they look and feel nice but not $150+ nice. For ~$20 it's great to at least try and see if you'd like a weighted rope. I would probably get the other brand with the handles since it's only a few dollars more and it checks the "exciting colors" box in my mind. Until I do this is a 5 star from me.

It’s nice and heavy. The one I received was already peeling off so I return hopefully I get another the other one on time.

I enjoy using a jump rope to warm up when I exercise. A weighted rope works the arms as well as the legs. My first impression is that the rope is probably going to out last me. For those who are used to using a speed rope it is a little different. You necessarily jump slower and exhaust quicker. I googled and found numerous benefits for jumping with a weighted rope. The one thing I would change is the handle. The handle is melted rubber over the rope. It works but it would be easier on the hands if there were handles to grasp that did not move. But connecting those would introduce something that could break. That is the only reason I gave it 4 rather than 5. I was rebated after reviewing.

Rope is a challenge..need strong wrists! I use it for my power routine..great addition to my workout!

Rope is nice. Rubber on handle came off after about a month of normal use. Now the end is starting fray and rope coming apart.

Low quality material; the rope is fraying very quickly. Got 2 months of use out of it.

I saw some people using a rope for what they called “rope flow”. Ordered this rope for days when I don’t swim. It’s definitely helping with core mobility and strength. The weight helps push me a little further in stretching and keeps my attention by having different exercises

Nice

Great quality and durable for my workout … I bring them to the gym with me in my bag

I got this thinking, what's 3 lbs, well it's a full body workout! Good quality, good investment for me and the home gym≥

This item is just as described.It's just too heavy for my liking.It will require two people holding it.I am returning it.

This was a great purchase for me. I had read that jumping rope for 10 minutes can have the same effects as jogging for 30 minutes. I thought that a weighted jump rope would add even more benefits. My arms were sore after my first workout. I've been fairly consistent with this for the last few days, as it has been more fun than a traditional workout and is so easy to take with me anywhere. I get tons of compliments and interest in it, and I tell people it's worth it. The length is good for me, as I'm a 6'1 woman and can still jump pretty easily. That was wone of my concerns initially. It seems like a durable rope, I like how they put the red cloth material at the base where the rope strikes the ground, it should hold up well over time. Rope has a nice thickness to it and makes it stand out as an object of high quality.Value for the money is insane!! I am VERY happy with this purchase and 10/10 recommend it to anyone looking for a quick way to get their exercise in on the go. My favorite way to use it is when taking my child to the playground, I can jump rope on the side while still watching him. I'm interested in buying the other weight options as I get better with this one. If it was a little bit longer, I'd be even happier.

It's good

Love it

This makes a great tug of war toy for your dog, terrible jump rope though. My shepherds rate 10/10.

Awesome

Highly recommend good quality and workmanship.

It certainly gets the job done! The 5kb jumprope is where it’s at!

Use it and it works

The rope came in excellent condition, the packaging was sealed well. It is a very sturdy and quality product and it provides a challenge that I expected. I highly recommend to buy from these guys.

It's even more of a workout than I bargained for. Great tool for an overall workout.

Weighted jump rope. I highly recommend this heavy rope. It is a simple product but works flawlessly. It will get your heart rate up it less than a minute. If you are deciding between this and a rope that just has heavy handles. Go with this. Having the weight in the rope makes a tremendous difference.This gives you an upper and lower body work out. I like to use it to get the heart rate up before lifting. Also this rope has a nylon sleeve that sits in the middle. This makes it way more durable and I can use it on rough surfaces like sidewalks or the driveway

This is a good quality weighted jump rope. If you've never used a weighted rope, it's a great complement to a standard rope and a much more intense arm, chest, and shoulder workout. I use it to warm up before runs, and I have noticed benefits in my running.

Hello Popeye forearms, good bye fat. These ropes are heavy, not at first of course, but after a bit you can feel it in your shoulders and forearms. You begin to get tired and after a bit of use, you get bored, so do tricks, you have to change it up for muscle memory reset, anyway. You will burn calories, you will burn fat, as long as you eat healthy and not plow down half a dozen cheese burgers right after. Belive it or not you will start to see results in a couple of months. I can see why boxers love these things. The rope itself is heavy and well made. Length is adjustable by hand placement and grip is strong. Jump rope has always been easy to pick up and cheap fun to do. Good for your health and your paycheck.

Good and durable helps with my weight loss journey and now im doing calisthenics

Do you want to be sore for a tough workout? Wanna rehab or strengthen your shoulders? Do you want to push your core to new levels?This can do all that and more. Warning to start slow and count reps or your arms and shoulder might fall off the next day.

Quality control is questionable. I ordered the 5 lbs jump rope which felt light so I weighed it. It weighed 3.5 lbs. I then returned that and ordered a replacement 5 lbs rope which weighed 4.5 lbs. Close enough for government work.All in all, the rope feels good and should last and serve its purpose.

The weight of this rope is great. It felt a bit heavy when I first started jumping, but it got easier as I kept going. Now, I use 2kg sandbags on both hands and swing the rope in circles to work on my core and arm strength.

This is my first weighted jump rope. The weight definitely makes the work out more intense. I've issue things that would make this a 5 star product is if it included rotating handles. It's a well made product, however I usually have to put it down before it's like to die to wrist pain, rather than exhaustion. Still, a solid jump rope worth considering for your workouts.
