This rope is ideal for men 5''10" and up. 10 ft with 2 pounds will smoke you after a short workout. Great after a run. Try doubles (pass the rope twice between skips). I don''t recommend this rope for beginners. As you can see from other reviews, it''s just too heavy. You have to skip with authority. Rope will untangle once you get it going. Best rope on Amazon. Don''t hesitate.The rope was very long when I received it, but then I unscrewed the handles and cut the rope and shuved the remaining of it with the not inside the handlebar, which was fairly easy to do, now it''s perfect length and the weight really helps with the strengthening of your arms/shoulders, it''s definitely a great workout!
Buy Valeo 1 lb. Weighted Jump Rope Now
The Valeo 2lb. jump rope is a great workout tool. It is easy to adjust the size and the rope does not tangle. However, you must take good care of the handles. I broke one of the handles only after a month of ownership. The plastic cover that holds the metal and spring inside is weak. As long as you are not careless, the product should hold up.This is a fine rope. Leather is always better, but this rope works fine IF you make sure the weights are BENEATH the springs in the handle. I had the same tangling problem because I had removed the weights and put one of them on top of the spring, which is incorrect. This causes the end of the rope and swivel fitting not to move freely, and the rope twists and becomes tangled. Great way to add some weight training to a running and calisthenics workout.I bought this rope and it''s working great. I''ve tried all the ropes and the smoothness and quickness of the ball bearing action is the best of all. A cotton type rope w/ or w/o wts. is ridiculous. That''s for kids. So the other reviewer doesn''t know what he''s talkin about. If going fast, it doesn''t tangle. For the best non-tangle w/ removeable 1lb.(that is 3 1/3lb. wts. ea. handle) try www.ropesport.com for their beaded jump rope. I go to their classes and this is what they use. The swinging arc is really good and even going slow it won''t tangle. And L is adjustable either shorter or longer. Also c/o bk. "Ropesport," the bible of ropejumping. But, this prod. is effective.
