Compared to many other popular fitness products flooding the market, Jumping rope is very inexpensive, making it accessible to everyone. (See Products for prices and product descriptions.)
All you need is a 3’ x 4’ area to jump rope. A living room, backyard, office, or gym are all ideal places to jump rope. Just throw a jump rope in a suitcase, briefcase, backpack, or purse, and you have the “greatest portable workout in existence.” Jumping rope is the perfect exercise for travelers.

Why use RopeSport jump ropes? |
| |
The nylon and bead materials are designed to keep the our jump ropes from tangling and maintain a "true arc" while jumping. As a result, you'll have more space to jump through and less chance you'll "miss" or have the jump rope catch on your feet. It's also completely adjustable in length so it's perfect for any height. And you can add weights to the handles for more upper body toning. And because the inner cords are completely removable you can do the workout by using only the handles, allowing virtually anyone to participate fully. See our Products page for detailed information regarding our jump ropes. |
