Ahomie 9.2ft Jump Rope, Adjustable Jump Ropes, Skipping Rope Tangle-Free Rapid Speed with Ball Bearings, and Weighted Loads

The media could not be loaded. Our hockey coach recommended getting a jump rope with ball bearings to use during dryland workouts for stamina/cardio and to work on staying on the balls of your feet. I had never heard of a "ball bearing" jump rope before, but I ordered this one and I have to say it is pretty cool. These arrived and my sons and I gave it a try (it has been a looong time since I skipped rope, so it was very interesting to say the least and my kids got a good laugh; needless to say, they look like actual athletes when speed jumping). The ball bearings really make a difference as the "rope" (which isn't rope on this but a plastic cord) doesn't twist or coil even when jumping for long periods, and you can jump with just minimal wrist movements (don't have to swing your whole arm). This particular rope has foam cushioning on the grips, which is really nice, and I have to say I like the small weights (that are removable) that are inside the grips. We ordered the 9' rope and it works fine for myself (5'5") and my sons (6') -- no issues with length. I would definitely recommend the option with the weights -- it is a minimal weight and isn't going to really impact the workout, but I will say it makes moving the rope with a wrist movement just smoother and is overall just more comfortable than without the weights. No issues with this rope and it is going to serve them well in dryland -- just what the coach ordered.

The media could not be loaded. I haven't jump roped since middle school, but of course I saw a girl doing jump rope dancing on tiktok and thought, hey I can do that! 😂This jump rope is really awesome. I was able to use it right out of the box without any adjustments, even though it was definitely a bit long for me. The weighted handles and the way the rope glides around while you're jumping is so smooth, that even after over 20 years since last jump roping I was able to pick it up super quickly.After I took it for a test spin, I decided to make the necessary adjustments for my height. As a general rule of thumb, your jump rope should be about 3 ft taller than your body. This jump rope is really simple to adjust. You simply screw off the top caps of the handles, pull out the metal weight, slide the rope through to the length that you want and then secure the fasteners at that location.As a 40 year old mom wanting to try something new, this awesome jump rope gave me the confidence right off the bat! I can't wait to learn some new moves and get some exercise in all at the same time. Highly recommend!
