20 Best Jump Ropes For Working Out (2023 Updated)

An excellent cardio workout, As a Beginner, I find my self feeling my heart beat. With the on app work out helping keep time. I seam to be getting better and breathing easier day after day. The rope pivots freely, making it So much easier to use and not get twisted up on itself or tangled on the handles.

it’s a pleasure to use. The ropes swap in and out of the handles easily and offers a sampling of workouts and challenges, I enjoy using the weighted ropes, noting particularly how they contributed to an arm workout while jumping.

Crossrope is top notch to add jump rope to your workout and worth the investment. Thank you for reading My Review.

I’ve been enjoying using this set. I’m foremost a runner but am always looking for other exercises for good variety. I bought the regular and heavy set and got the app. I love that I can do this in my yard with a mat and I can get a good workout in 20-40 minutes.

I do a workout almost every day. I have had no quality issues with the ropes. However, removing the handles are a pain for someone with wrist issues and sometimes I just can’t do it. Of course, I can pay for a second set but rather not.

Still love this set and the app and would recommend. Also I think the calories burned seem low.

Amazing ropes! My wife had the 1/4lb one and loves it. I have the get strong set & an extra 3lb and believe me, they give a full body workout! Unlike other heavy ropes that I’ve tried, these weigh in at within 2oz of what they should be – others I’ve bought have been +- 1/4lb!!! The weight being all in the ropes gives an amazing workout and real feel as to where the rope is and what it’s doing.

The design and build of the handles means a super smooth spin each and every time. I’m not exagerating when I say these ropes revolutionised our skipping experience. We don’t trip or stumble over these like other ropes we’ve used, nor to I smack myself on the back of the head – the very first use we both beat our best non stop skip.

The mat I bought along with the ropes means the ropes are protected and we can jump in comfort too. Again, the heavy ropes are a workout in themselves and my 3lb only comes out at the moment when I’m feeling particularly brave but it’ll get more use as I build up to using it more.

Both myself and my wife would highly recommend these ropes.

This jump rope is made of plastic. so it will break once you use it outdoor. And it says in the description it can be for outdoors. The handle both ends is loose. How are we supposed to jump comfortably with that? So much hate.

inside of the plastic is a shoe lace kind of rope. very thin. not worth the price tho. this jump rope doesnt have energy. how i wish i can return the item but with the pandemic right now i think its not worth to fight over this little trash jump rope.

Good weighted skipping rope but these ones always hurt really bad if you accidentally hit yourself. The weighted plastic also tends to break off sometimes while your skipping. Not one that I use very often.

I’m not very satisfied with this skipping rope.

These hurt when you mess up and they hit you! They do the job of trying to get a work out in, but I am not a super skilled jump roper and I have pTSD from childhood gym sessions when these would hit me on the head or the arm, leaving welts and marks.

Glad that rubber/nylon ones exist now!.

The write up of this item did not specify if it’s for big hands or small hands. I have small hands and I find myself gravitating to my last skipping rope with smaller handles. The weights is not the issue, i like that the handles are weighted as it makes the skipping that more challenging but my overall performance is compromised by the lack of comfort.

As an individual with heart disease I started jumping rope to increase general physical fitness and to add to my endurance. I started with a Gold’s Gym braided rope with wood handles and a mechanical linkage (non-bearing) for rotation.

It had a clear vinyl tube in the middle of the rope to prevent abrasion. It was O. K. but I wanted a rope with a smoother rotation so I bought the everlast because of the bearings. For the price it is also O.

K. – but it’s nothing wonderful. My daughter had a rope with the solid PVC but non bearing and it operated as smoothly as this one. It is nice you can shorten the rope to length but I found the plastic allen wrench that was included too short to use.

I had to get my own metric allen wrenches to adjust for length. If you cut the PVC to the length beyond the stop (as shown in the instructions-about inch and a half) the bearing will not work properly.

The PVC must be cut flush to the stop. The bearings are cheap and rough. I oiled them in order to try to make them smoother. If you are serious about long term jumping and exercising or wanting to learn tricks I would look elsewhere.

This jump rope in my opinion is excellent. It is a 9 foot rope which happens to be a bit short for me but it was still not bad to use. I am about 6’1″ and I got long legs so if that sounds like you I would recommend going for a 10 foot rope that’s adjustable.

Bought a cheaper item off another well exercised internet base chopping channel and really struggled to use it. Figured it was down to my lack of skipping skills. However my second skipping (jump) rope bought from dope ropes made a huge difference.

Although still hard; I was able to make a good start to skipping (jump roping). Pleased with the item and service.

No frills, cheap simply rope. Using everyday for the last two weeks or so. Easy to adjust and tailor to the length needed to use effectively and efficiently. FYI – Not sure how durable it will be, as after being used only twice on aN outdoor paved area, the soft blue rope material is starting to scuff and breakdown.

So we’ll see how it lasts. Overall, for the price I paid, I’m happy with the rope and cost. I’ll more than likely keep this as a backup rope and Switch back to something at a higher price point for better build and durability.

Bought the boxer’s rope, but found it a bit too thick and heavy for my taste. Also found the length of the rope according to the instructions incredibly long. So I swapped for the Buddy Lee my trainer just bought which he hated.

He loves his new Dope Rope, I love the Buddy Lee, everyone’s happy! This just goes to show that a lot of this is down to personal taste – maybe the fact my trainer prefers the Dope Rope is a plus for you guys!.

Skipping ropes are a great exercise tool. Many types out there that feel and handle differently. It really comes down to you trying lots and then settling on your preference. For me this is the one why, it just feels right and have clocked up many hours already whilst warming up at a martial arts gym.

If new start slow and then work your way up to speed skipping 🙂 no need to rush, it will come.

Although these look good , they do not perform that well. The swivel action is slow and because the swivel mechanism is set at 90 degrees to the handle, it is very unforgiving if the handles are not held parallel to the ground, which is almost impossible for a beginner to achieve.

In time the product might become easier to use, but for a beginner these are too awkward to use. The review above still stands,however I would give Steve a 5 star review for his customer care. He sent out a replacement new model skipping rope.

Thankyou.

I have been using this jump rope for the past 1 week and it is already worn out on the lower side where it brushes the floor. The handles also squeeks when jumping and it does not feel fluid and often get stuck.

I am not impressed this rope yet. The length is adjustable. It will take awhile for the kinks in the rope to work out. maybe a hot car or a hairdryer. A heavier cord would be good. It has to be used indoors.

The lower piece of the handle screws off. Push the cord through the end and pull on the black stopper bottom. It will slide off. Cut to preferred length.

Honestly I don’t like this item. After I opened the box and saw it I put it back in and it’s been sitting there since the day of the purchase. Had it been possible to open the box and check the quality I wouldn’t spend money on that jump rope.

To my amazement a friend of mine bought the same item and is disappointed. It was not what she was expecting. Target used to have a very good brand which cost way much less but whose quality brought so much satisfaction.

I went to purchase another only because I lost it during my last trip to Europe. Will spend time online looking for the same thing or something close to it until I find it.

I have had this rope for 4 years and it just snapped yesterday. I added a 1lb weight in each handle. I used it during every work out which was/is 5 times/week. I am very pleased with its durability, ease of use, and the amount of time it lasted.

Will be replacing it today with the same rope.

The grip is pretty clean and the workouts are pretty intense. These are perfect for me. Also, the rope construction is high quality and is built to last.

So far so good. This one is perfect! The weight is awesome! I am very happy about this jump rope doing thousand jumps a day as warm up.

I haven’t jumped rope since grade school and this is by far a great product if you’re just starting out. The grip is perfect. It’s light weight and easy to hold. Very durable.

I love this weighted jump rope. It isn’t too heavy to make it uncomfortable but it still weighs enough that even though you are having fun, you know you’re getting a good workout in at the same time.

I would recommend 10/10! Oh, and five below has some!.

Great product, very practical, strong and resistant through the test of time ; used by me almost every day it’s a decent but low key pricey product. Still would meet and surpass your expectations

I was quite excited to receive this jump rope since the price was good and the handles incorporate a swivel action. The problem with many “weighted rope section” jump ropes is the strain on the wrist because the rope pulls on them.

My first reaction in opening this product was wow, it’s big (circumference). I could only imagine how big the heavier jump ropes are. I noticed the handles did not have any weight to them. This is essential not to increase the challenge but for the rotation of a rope/band that is, itself, weighted.

The swivel handle aspect was the primary reason for my purchase, the price helped as well. To the product’s defense, it did have good swivel capability but without some weight within the handles, it actually caused just as much strain as handles without swivel rotation.

I an neither happy or upset with this purchase. I will however continue to search for other brands before purchasing their other ropes.

I cut it to adjust to my height. Its works great. Remember its affordable price. Good quality for the price. I have expensive ropes 10 times the value and it works just is good. No reason to spend top dollar unless your a professional.

Very good rope. Good to use. Can really get a good speed with it. You know it if it whips you though. Well worth the money and having it in your boxing kit bag

Adjustment was easy. This is the fastest jump rope this novice has used. Have only used it a few times so far but seems like good quality.

I’m really liking the combination of get lean and get strong sets. It really makes me feel fit and strong after I jump rope especially after completing circuits of jump rope workouts you have put up on youtube.

I used to be running before, but jumprope gives me a different feel altogether. I have lost weight, never have I felt so fit before. I’ve also purchased the bolt rope; please put up some more videos for the bolt rope and sprint rope.

I have almost learnt the double under, but some more tutorials for double under or triple unders and the sprint rope would be good. I must admit that it is the best jump rope. I have used other ropes as well, but the crossrope just encourages me to exercise on a regular basis, the cross rope has added more fun to my exercise; just no longer want to miss a day of jumprope and exercise.

This set is incredible. I have been jumping for over ten years, and there are several aspects of the Bolt system that set it apart from other ropes. First, it is extremely easy to assemble and adjust.

Other ropes that use cables and screws almost require a microscope to figure out. Not this one. Slide the cable in, get the right length, tighten, and you’re all set. The rotation is very smooth. Both cables offer plenty of feedback, yet they are light enough to reach extreme speeds.

I love the handles, too. They offer the best of both worlds. I have used ropes with thick handles, and ones with slim handles. Here, the handles are just thick enough to offer a good grip without becoming burdensome.

Yet, they are thin enough to allow for a good “snap” to get the cable flying. They are very light, and feature a very unique grip and appearance! If you’re new to jumping, this is a great set to develop conditioning and rhythm, while at the same time setting you up for double unders.

I was drenched after I used it this morning, something I hadn’t felt in a long time!.

Yes ! Since i started skipping in 2016,So far your speed crossrope is the best for me. Its fast and flexible. For last 6months, i have been training to perform double unders /crossovers. But i was heading no where.

I mean it was going to take me more months of training to perform that skill. But as soon as i got my new crossrope,I gave it a try to a move , and it worked. OMG!!!! At first i thought maybe am mistaken am doing a different skill.

I tried again and i was able to perform couple s of revolutions. On Saturday before my Soccer pick up game,i was performing the skill as part of my warm ups. You Guys are doing a tremendous job. by creating for us the best ropes on the market.

More so my thanks goes to Dave Hunt. When you performed QuadRuples /under you nocked me off and i said may be i should check this guy ‘ s site out. And am happy that i did. I would like to buy more speed crossrope/bare cable! i dont know if you make those.

Anyways thank you again. Robert Watamba.

So the picture on the sale insinuates that I should receive 3 ropes, instead, I only got one. Not sure if that’s how it’s meant to be but I kinda felt cheated. 🙁

I bought the rope to improve my physical reaction times. It’s a good idea as the gyms are closed at the moment and I’m building up my home equipment options.

Hello! I’ve had this rope for a few weeks and wanted to share my thoughts for anyone that is on the fence on owning a pair. -These are not trickster friendly. The standard rope that this set consists of is ideally for as many double under that you can manage.

This is not criss cross friendly nor something you should practice trick style movements with. By definition as described in the product details, this product is ideally for intense cardio speed roping with minimal tricks and concentration in speed.

-With that said, the rope balance seems to focus on caloric burn and not “look what I can do” trickster rope. The given material does not do well with concrete or any abrasive surface material. Stick to matte flooring or any surfaces that are more forgiving to wired ropes.

-The ball bearings and engineering in the handles is unique and is a huge positive for this pair. They allow for replacement cables which proves invaulable over time but in addition have a mechanic that optimizes speed and rhythm.

I never give reviews but thanks to customer service from Rogue Fitness I am now. I’m going to assume all the positive reviews are paid or from people wanting to get something out of complimenting Rogue Fitness.

I am not into CrossFit nor am I considered an athlete, that being said I got this as a gift and it lasted a month and a half before the rope(cable) split in half at a use of 5 min a day, 5 to 6 days a week on a smooth garage floor.

Customer service was fine with that and just said I would need to buy a new. I would’ve been ok with, must’ve been from a bad batch, we’ll ship you out a newone, but no such thing was said. So I’ll assume this is the high quality they instill in all of their products so I won’t be buying or recommending anything from Rogue Fitness and I would recommend anyone reading this to do the same.

Okay, so I am a veteran jump rope coach. No fancy high-tech products can make up for skill. Here is an image from two days ago of a traveling skill using the Rogue Licorice rope. Outdoors with no jump mat either.

Good cross trainers are all you need. So, get moving and travel outside on a trail as you see in my photo. Take your activity outdoors for all to see. Inspire the world to fitness. Yeah, I am 69 years old now and I can vouch for high-intensity workouts.

I love it ,it is ahigh quality rope that allows you to do anything from speed jumping to freestyle jumping (crosses etc. ) It accepts many widths of cables which beginners through advanced jumpers can use.

It comes with our Outdoor Cable which is made for use on concrete. By the way, look at investing in a jump rope mat to protect your body from jumping on concrete. Good job. keep it going. Thank You!.

I love this jump rope! I always do 15 minutes of non-stop jump roping at the end of my workouts and this is the jump rope that I use. It is a bit too long for me, but I don’t mind because I can just roll it up.

I’ve had it for a while now and it’s in okay shape. When I jump rope I go really fast and I use it on the sidewalk so the bottom of it is kind of worn out. It’s still useable, but it’s just something that I noticed.

Classic can’t get enough. I love how small the handles are and I prefer this over a fabric rope. I never had one snap and I totally encourage everyone to jump rope as it is a good fitness method to put in your routine.

Adjustable length skipping rope. Turns freely. Comfortable handles. Just what I needed. Paid a few pounds more than it was retailing in John Lewis but they were sold out and I was glad to be able to find it.

Good quality skipping rope, arrived quickly all well packaged up. Would recommend.

Flimsy plastic handles. The small plastic stopper inside the handle broke and no extra replacements were included. Very poor quality.

So far so good. Length is adjustable, fast rope.

Handle just broke only on 1st fall while skipping. still continued using. Now also the rope broke while skipping. Really need to improve quality. Very bad quality for this price point. Really disappointed with the product.

Also being a very frequent customer for decathlon this is the first time to have this experience.

As much I loved the rope, it snapped within 6 months of use. I’ve used other Decathlon ropes and paid extra for this I’m hopes that it would last for a while. The handles were a bit small and not too comfortable, I preferred the yellow speed rope Decathlon sold.

Just a bit annoyed because my rope broke today and I don’t have an alternative.

The wire is way too tough – it keeps coiling on itself, you can’t straighten it, then it just bends at an angle as if it’s broken. Annoying. The concept is alright. I still manage to skip double unders with it, but I keep cursing everything to heaven while exercising :/.

I bought a Rogue SR-2 and have struggled ever since. I didn’t like the short handles so I went looking again and found this one. First of all, this bad boy is solid. The handles are not hollowed out.

They are long, heavy and all metal. It feels like you’re actually holding something. I’ve been looking for these all of my CrossFit life. My double-unders are back and I couldn’t be happier. Once again, another great product and half the cost of the other guys.

I purchased these for my 13 year old son to use and size for himself. We did not have the bearing issue and found that the rope was quiet with good action. I love that he can adjustment as he grows (without cutting), and he’s easily able to do consistent doubles after they were sized.

We use ropes daily and will soon find out how well they hold up, but I was impressed with them after just a couple of uses. I encourage my son to do plyometrics, sprints and jump rope over jogging. These will be used daily and I believe they will hold up well.

Great rope to start on. Well built and rope length is adjustable so no cutting if you don’t want to. My only complaint with the rope is the bearing system doesn’t spin well, it squeaks and requires more effort to maintain fluid DU.

You can address the problem by putting some wd40 or other lubricants into the spin system but just wish you didn’t have to do this. All around good rope for the price for starting out.

I love these so much, a bit of weight that you won’t feel much difference but the longer you use it and then go back to regular unweighted skipping ropes you could tell the difference. The only thing I dislike about the product is that it will unscrew itself if you don’t pay attention to it for a while that you will need to screw it tight back up again.

Other than that very nice product!.

I’m trying to keep cardio interesting and this is exactly what I was looking for as a starter rope! Great quality licorice style rope with comfortable handles. The length is perfect for me (I’m 5’7) though if you need to adjust it you can unscrew the ends and refasten inside the handles to secure a shorter length.

Can’t find any cons about it. Buy one!.

I am a first-time jump roper and this skipping rope has been amazing so far. Really lightweight and good for trying to learn how to increase speed. A few painful whips here and there, but I’m sure that happens with all ropes! Only downfall is that if you’re wanting to adjust it, you can’t.

But, I’m around 5ft 5 and it fit me just fine.

This rope was definitely worth the price! (please excuse my language choices, I have no idea of the proper skipping technical terms!!) My first rope was a cheap one from amazon. I was struggling to get the right technique with it, despite it being a lighter rope.

Now this rope was completely different! I could keep my jumps lower to the ground, and because of the way its made, it took just a flick of the wrist to make it swing round. (The amazon one was like winding an old washing machine in comparison).

Now don’t mistake the above for thinking its an easy work out- I am absolutely knackered. I could feel it working my stomach muscles, and now look like a sweating tomato. All in all if you want a good rope, which will work your core, this is the one for you.

My reason for four stars is because I would suggest a jump mat. I am a skipping novice, but I can see that a mat would make the wear and tear less on this rope.

The 1. 3lbs Weighted Rope is insane! I’m standing at 184cm (6”1) and got the Red 9ft rope, absolutely perfect for what I was after. The ultimate rope that I have tried in terms of muscular endurance, “feel the burn”.

In only 5-10 rotations (definitely recommend a warm up prior to using this rope) you can already feel that your arms are going to be in for a killer workout. This rope also works the back and core in places that a normal jump rope wouldn’t activate.

If you’re using this rope make sure you use a mat if outside to reduce wear and tear. 10/10 cannot fault.

It’s will be great put not only in imperial measures but metrics too. Have lots of people from country’s where the measurements is done in metric and this people like me normally use metric instead imperial and most part of then don’t know how to make the conversion.

Will be really kind. 😉😉😉.

But I love my other Bala purchases so I was “in”! I was surprised that I had to build my jump rope with no instructions. I googled “how to measure for a jump rope” and got some clues but nothing from Bala! I got my wire cutters, jammed the ends in the handles and started jumping.

I got an extra rope, I suppose if I cut too short the first time, but literally have no idea how to remove the handles if the 2nd rope is needed! Other than a lack of help from Bala that they didn’t know I’d need…the thing works great…but it’s not easy…and I’m up for the challenge! Bala, an insert with tips for beginners would have been nice!.

…but at least my Bala jump rope makes it look cute! I got it in Blush to match all my other Bala items. Very good quality and the 1/2 lb weighted handles provide just enough extra umph without being overwhelming.

My only issue with it is the lack of instructions – I had to find a wire cutter because after sizing it to my armpits, and pushing the excess rope into the handles, I still had a little too much rope for my height.

The jump rope looks great, love that it comes with 2 ropes. The lack of instructions was somewhat annoying but once I had it figured it was great – for exactly one workout. Went to grab it from my gym bag to discover one of the handles was broken and the only thing I did with it after working out was put it in my bag and then remove it from the bag.

I would expect more durability for the price. Very disappointed.
