Weighted Jump Rope - (1.5LB) Solid PVC 12mm Diameter for Crossfit and Boxing - Heavy Jump Rope with Memory Non-Slip Cushioned Foam Grip Handles for Fitness Workouts Endurance and Strength Training

Great addition for my work out routine. Nice weight and good craftsmanship.

I see alot of people talk about how hard it is to find a good sturdy jump rope. Well this one is very thick & sturdy. It's easy to change the length by cutting it, and it cuts very easily, not too much effort at all.( BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT IT TOO SHORT ), after about 30 seconds I felt burn in my arms, and chest so during a full and serious workout this rope will give you the business. Keep in mind that this is a jump rope and at $20, it really helps burn calories and fat if you're truly committed, and if it breaks in a few months I'm just going to buy another. I am sure I will have gotten $20 worth of conditioning out of it. Don't listen to the tons of people complaining about a simple rope not being indestructible. They waste more money on gym memberships that they never use...

I'd been looking for a weighted jump rope (with the weight in the actual rope, not just the handles), and this seemed like one of the best and most affordable ones available. I wasn't ready to shell out $100 for a CrossRope quite yet (although they do look nice), and I think for my purposes, this will be more than fine. I've use it few times now, and by the time I reach 50-60 jumps, my shoulders are on fire! I honestly didn't think an approx. 1.3-ish lb rope would be as tough as it is (I trimmed it, so it lost some weight)...Pros:- the weight is in the rope, not the handles (this works the shoulders and back - the ones with weighted handles don't do much because you shouldn't be moving your hands that much)- the handles are padded and comfortable- the rope itself is made of very thick rubber and seems durable. I used it on a brick pathway for a few minutes and it got scratched, but it seemed like superficial damage. However, I'd recommend using it on a gym or yoga mat to avoid damage with repeated workouts- the price tag is less than half of some of the pricier brands- it's easy enough to trim to fit (I'm 5'1" and needed to trim a fair amount off with a serrated knife)Cons:- Even though I unpacked it immediately and hung it up, the rubber has a slight crimp. I don't think it's affected the rotation too much when in use, but it would be nice if it didn't curl at all- I kept as much extra rope as I could inside the handles in case I need/want to extend it at any point or someone taller than me wanted to use it, but this may have affected the mechanics/swing of the jump rope; the handles seem a bit stiff and I'm wondering if it will make my wrists more sore than they would be otherwise (it would be nice if there were a way to make it slightly adjustable without sacrificing comfort/mechanics, as you can do with a thin speed rope)- The handle pieces screw together and are made of thin plastic. I am hoping they will hold up, but I think some kind of clip-able ball bearing that connected the rope to the handles would probably make a smoother swing- it would be great if the rope came with a small storage/carrying bag

This is a great weighted rope for a beginner. It is easily cut using scissors or a blade to customize the length. The swing is very different from ropes with the weights in your handles. It really helps to remind you jump, because the whack felt across the shins is NOT the business.

If you ever wanted to try weighted rope skipping, for under 20 dollars - this is a deal that can't be beat! I weighed mine on a kitchen food scale and it weighs 1.6 pounds. A good enough weight to give you an exhaustive workout. This rope can also be trimmed down if it is too long for you....unlike other over priced 150 dollar rope sets. Mind you, this is an economically priced rope, so no - you don't get no fancy handles with bearings; it's made of plastic - but it works just fine! This company only offers a one pound rope and this 1.5 pound rope. I wish they would come up with a 2 pounder also. Regardless, kudos to the makers or this heavy rope. Great rope. Great deal.

The weight was as I expected it, just be aware that those 1.5 lbs are a lot! My wrists hurt for 2 days after I did about 1000 jumps with this rope. Also, the handles are really big so unless you have huge hands, I don't reccomend. You also cannot jump very fast with it as the rope is so thick. Additionally, the thick, heavy rope makes it hurt really bad if you hit your toes or ankles (even with shoes!).

This jump rope is nothing short of amazing. Super sturdy, and heavy enough to do the job right. Definitely going to get a good arm work out too. If you open the handle and remove the small screw that is screwed into the silicone "rope", you can shorten it very easily. It can be shorted and store the extra piece in the handle. I actually purchased this for my daughter and it definitely needed to be shorter for her. She loves to jump rope and is involved in gymnastics, so the workout and fun combined was a win win for us. If you need to shorten it more than what the handles can hold it is really easy to trim the extra off.

Realmente tienes que hacer un esfuerzo para moverla, si ya tienes tiempo y experiencia saltando la cuerda no tendrás problemas en acostumbrarte a ésta pero sentirás la diferencia y acabarás trabajando más en menos tiempo. No apta para principiantes.

Excellent, much heavier than this and I don't see much utility. I'm an advanced athlete and this is something I only use a little, the 1lb rope is my go to, it's amazing how much more effort and concentration is required for just an extra half lb

Muy buen producto, me gusta por que en pocos minutos se siente el rendimiento en el cuerpo . Llevo unos meses de uso y no he tenido problema alguno con los materiales

The 1.5lb is excellent for those who want a combo workout. It’s a real workout for the upper body and cardio. This Amazon supplier provides excellent value for your money.

Muy buena cuerda, buen agarre, buen peso, buena rotación.
