When buying a skipping rope, you have a lot more choice these days than a few years ago. They come in all sorts of colours, types and price ranges . So pay close attention when buying a skipping rope to what you find important. To make it a bit easier, we have made a top 5 of skipping ropes.
Jump ropes made of leather, plastic and other materials
The difference is mainly in the material used. You have jump ropes in leather, metal, vinyl and plastic. A leather jump rope is a good choice because it has a heavier structure and therefore jumps easier and curls less compared to the plastic version. Plastic and vinyl are therefore somewhat lighter but also somewhat cheaper .
Another point you can pay attention to when buying skipping ropes is the handle. A good skipping rope jumps the most pleasantly if the handle is a bit bigger. The presence of ball bearings is also nice, this makes the rope turn smoothly.
What can you use a jump rope for?
Skipping rope has been around for centuries! It is known as a toy for children with the well-known songs. In recent decades it is more often used by adults, for example in the sport called Rope Skipping. For example, you can quickly lose weight with it, but also train your condition and muscles with it.
In boxing it has been used for years because the results are quickly visible, especially in the area of condition and in the leg muscles. With different exercises you can make it fun for yourself. Also the use of for example ankle weights can make an exercise harder and more effective. There are even special training schedules where you can keep this.

We think the metal skipping rope is the best because of the good grip, the durability and the smooth turning of the cord! These skipping ropes can of course all be ordered in our webshop or picked up in our martial arts shop in Capelle aan den IJssel.
