When buying a skipping rope, you now have much more choice than a few years ago. They come in all kinds of colors, types and price ranges. So when buying a skipping rope, pay attention to what you consider important. To make it a little easier, we have made a top 5 of jump ropes.
Skipping ropes made of leather, plastic and other materials
The difference is mainly in the material used. There are jump ropes in leather, metal, vinyl and plastic. A leather skipping rope is a good choice as it is heavier in 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 best if the handle is a bit larger. The presence of ball bearings is also nice, which makes the rope rotate smoothly.
What can you use a skipping rope for?
Jumping rope has been around for centuries! It is known as a toy for children with the famous songs. In recent decades it has been used more often by adults, for example in the sport called Rope Skipping. For example, you can lose weight quickly, but also train your fitness and muscles. It has been used in boxing for years because the results can be seen quickly, especially in the fitness area and in the leg muscles. You can make it fun for yourself with different exercises. The use of ankle weights, for example, can also make an exercise harder and more effective. There are even special training schedules where you can keep track of this.
