Fitness Mad ™ Speed Rope (Various Sizes)

What is the Fitness Mad Speed Rope?

This smooth-turning rope is suitable for all skipping routines from gentle warm-ups before exercise regimes to more advanced techniques such as cross-overs and double-unders performed by skip-hoppers and professional boxers. Its free-spinning handles ensure the rope turns fluidly in a perfect skipping arc, which moves faster than leather jump ropes that are often heavier and more difficult to manoeuvre.

Can skipping help me to lose weight?

Regular skipping is a high intensity workout which can sculpt your upper body, toning your biceps, shoulders and back. It’s also highly effective for burning calories - you can lose 250 with just 20 minutes of skipping. Burning more calories than you consume is the fast route to weight loss, which combined with healthy eating, should streamline your figure in no time. You may wish to try using this rope on an even surface such as a yoga or stretching mat for an easier, smoother workout.

Can I alter the length of the Fitness Mad Speed Rope?

This item comes in 3 sizes:

• 8 ft. for people under 5'3"
• 9 ft. for people between 5'4"-5'10"
• 10 ft. for people between 5'11"-6'6"

Your rope is at an ideal length if the handles reach to just below your armpits when standing on the centre of the rope. More advanced skippers such as professional boxers or skip-hoppers usually have slightly shorter ropes, which you can switch to when you feel confident enough. You can easily shorten your rope by tying a small knot under the handles. This is useful if you are purchasing a rope for several people of different sizes to share.
