I don't care about double-unders. I just want a great jump rope for my cardio workouts. Are there any drawbacks to this rope for non-crossfit use?

This type of rope is great for cardio. Going with heavier ropes tends to help with strength. Keep in mind that you can adjust this one to your specific height. Google how to measure for jump rope lengths for your height to get one that's most effective for you, just inches on either side makes a lot of difference. I own this rope and several others, this one is fast and takes a bit of practice since it doesn't give as much "feedback" as heavier ropes do. But once you learn it, it's great for longer cardio and endurance type workouts. RX SmartGear and Crossrope 2.0 are others that I own that are similar to this one, you can buy them in specific lengths and they come in different weights which is how I like to train(move back and forth from different weighted ropes). They are all vinyl coated steel cables like this one.

After doing the product model comparisons and a lot of research I went with the 350 because it is the start of the more commercial type rebounder and I felt it would wear better and possibly last longer than the ones in the 220 class. Also, my starting weight was at almost 200 pounds, and I have already dropped 20 pouñds... ; ) If I was a smaller person, maybe I wouldnt have cared, but I am not. I love it so much. It gets my heart rate to go up almost immediately. Good lùck. I think you will be very happy with the bungee style cords. Very quiet when bouncing on it.

Yes, absolutely, it is a fitness device for all ages and it is the strongest pullup bar available. We use thicker steel than any other pull-up bars and have plugnplay attachments for aerial yoga, boxing, and air fitness with our patent pending straps that allow you to run in the air.

I would not use for free weights you sink to far into them like deadlifts and stuff , I would use just to put under cardio or free weight machines

I have heard great things about craze. I've tried C4 before and it did not give me the results that I was expecting. However I don't think any pre-workout does the job like Bullnox. If you pair Bullnox with a thermogenic like Detonate you will have a combination that will not only give you the energy you need to make it through your workout but it will also give you some amazing muscle pumps and strength increases. Just remember to follow the directions on any supplement that you take to prevent harmful side effects.

As others have commented, the thickness with the weights is the one issue I think you'll run into. But it is a great vest that stays tight to the body and because its "short", it allows for a lot of movement and flexibility in workouts.

You are probably doing this question because you're new on these. If your try the jumpSport, once you get used with the workout you probably will want a better tool and will put your eyes on Bellicon or (once again) the Cellerciser. I dislike the situation with the longevity of the cords. They have to be replaced from time to time. Springs on the Cellerciser might look old fashion technology, but it works. Four years working out on my Cellerciser and still running in perfect conditions. My pick: the Cellerciser.

NO! Just the opposite in fact. These fit together nicely, but they are SUPER slippery - not really good for anything other than to put under heavy exercise equipment that won't move. Definitely NOT for jumping rope! Hope that helps! I got them originally to use for an exercise video in front of the TV, but they slid all over the place immediately. Good luck! - Dawn

NEVER use this rope for actual climbing. Only for utility use. For mountain and wall climbing ropes, use ropes designed for that particular purpose. Yes they are more expensive, but your life is on the line. For more information about climbing ropes, contact a well respected outdoor store. Better yet try finding a local climbing club or indoor wall climbing place. Please be careful in your future climbing ventures.

If you are just doing cardio kickboxing type stuff, it doesn't really matter because you won't actually be hitting with any power anyway. If you plan on learning to actually box, get another glove as this one does not offer the wrist support needed and you will injure yourself. It happened to me and one other person in our gym. I suggest looking at some Title hook and loop gloves if you want a real boxing glove and not crap that is sold to people who don't know any better.

It has a decent resistance but for those looking for real challenge resistance is not quite here like the high end equipment from the gym. It is good for warm up cardio but not for heavy workout.

I would not recommend using this at this time .Wait till you get your weight down and then use it . I think it would be stressful on your knees ,hips and ankles plus set you up for shin splint problems.Go to u-tube and look up cross training.Lots of videos . Alternate upper body circuit training with your running. Gradually increase in volume and intensity-former weight training conditioning teacher - wrestling and cross country coach

Yes, this rope is easily adjusted. There are instructions that come with it to help you choose the right height for you. I'm 5'10". Also, my crossfit coach was very impressed with the quality of this rope, even more so when I told him the price. Most comparable ropes are around $80-$100.00.

Personally, I would suggest getting a cheapy one from a sporting goods store to start with. Use it for a couple weeks and then get the trainer. I wouldn't waste my money on an extremely easy CoC gripper when you can progress so quickly.

I am a Crossfitter and that's exactly what I use them for. No need to chalk up 10 times and my girlfriend appreciates a guy without callouses and blood all over his hands. I have been purchasing 2 pair/year for the last 3 years, I hope they don't ever stop making these. And the full finger just makes all of the difference in grip to me. Just my humble opinion here. Good luck!

Hi Beatrice, i think you can use it for both things. As it's fast jumping rope, you can jump double under easier.

I thought I would be able to push some of the rope up into the handles and tie knots in it but I could not. So what I did was tied knots at the end of the handles until I got it to a size that was good for me. After that I was able to use it and I enjoy jumping 4 times a week. I hope that will help you. You will have to start the knots from the very base of the handle and work your way down on both sides so that it will be even. In the review I wrote that they need to make them adjustable because I am just 5'2. I hope that will help you some.
