Selecting the Best Jump Rope

Most jump ropes are inexpensive and still provide great results. To properly size a jump rope for yourself:

1. Stand on center of the cord with one foot, and then pull the handles up,
2. The tips of the handles should come to the shoulder for novice jumpers, or the armpit for advanced jumpers.

Jumping Rope with CrossRopes

Once you get hooked on the benefits of jumping rope, you may wish to explore the CrossRope system. CrossRopes are an elite jump rope system that use interchangeable handles with different weighted rope cables for ultra versatility in your jump training.  A full CrossRope package comes with 2 sets of different sized handles and seven different weighted cables.

If you’ve ever lifted weights, you realize the necessity of lifting heavier weights in order to continue your strength gaining progress. CrossRopes let you employ this same progression with your jump rope workouts by giving you the option of using heavier weighted ropes.

Not only does this make you a better jump roper, but you’ll increase your strength, coordination, and fitness quicker and more effectively.  It really is a high tech innovation applied to an age old gym favorite!
