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

I had never heard of a weighted jump rope until I searched for a jump rope on Amazon. The rope gives me an excellent workout. The workout feels like a cardio and weight-lifting session that tones the whole body and strengthens the heart and muscles. Sometimes I only use it alone at the gym for about twenty minutes to an hour. I became addicted to it. I was even able to jump rope, moving forward and backward. I am not able to do this using my regular jump rope, which I have had for more than twenty years. I have heard some reviewers complaining about the twist in the rope. That is no big deal. The twist resolves itself once you begin to jump. I did weigh the rope; it weighed less than the advertised 1.5 pounds. I contacted the seller, and they reached out to me to resolve the problem. The customer service was excellent. That is one of the reasons I am still giving the rope 5 stars. The other two reasons are the quality of the workouts and the rope itself. I will try the three, four, or five-pound versions next. Hopefully, they are as good as the 1.5-pound rope. My suggestion: Buy the rope!!!

This rope is very easy to use. The handles are meaty, without being too big to grip. The rope is heavy enough to maintain momentum, and work muscles you weren't expecting it to. I'm extremely happy so far. I think I'm gonna order another one. As a sidenote: the rope adjustment is basically a retaining collar that the rope slides through, and is secured by a small phillips head screw. It's functional, but it took me a little fiddlin' to get it adjusted. Still not anything to deter me.

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 thing is a beast! When I opened the box and saw how massive this rope is I had to workout with it right away! I own a large collection of jump ropes and speed ropes and I always complain about lack of feedback, even with the so-called heavier ropes.. not only did I get feedback, but after just a few minutes of regular jumping I got actual muscle tightness everywhere from my hands all the way up to my traps. After crawling across the finish line that was the 20-minute mark, I felt like I had a great workout everywhere... Chest, back, legs. It's as if I lifted weights and jumped rope at the same time. I am going to work out again in a little while and I already know it's going to be difficult to take tomorrow off. These are the kinds of things that make exercise addictive. Great purchase.

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.

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.

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!).

Great weighted jump rope at a great price. I would highly recommend this 1.5 lb weighted jump rope at this price point.

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

Muy buen producto. Altamente recomendable si quieres realmente una resistencia alta

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.
