Amber Sporting Goods Fitness Jump Rope - P-431L

I would recommend a skip-rope model with barbell weighted handles. This is more suited for a novice. That said it's a still an above average tool for practicing foot speed and control.

It has been years since I jumped rope. Jumping rope is a great workout, this jump rope is affordable and works great in my workout routine.

Excellent quality, serves my needs. Very well made, and performs as one would want from a fitness rope. The only downfall is that, at 5'4, I'm more comfortable with just a LITTLE less length, and I have to wrap the rope just a slight bit for greater jumping ease. While working out, holding on to the plastic is uncomfortable with sweaty hands. I wish there were some sort of retracting system. But it's still a great product nonetheless.
