4 lb. Weighted Jump Rope - 9'

I love this Jump rope! Jumping with a heavy jump rope is a great workout!! I wish that the rope was about 2' shorter.. it would be perfect!

I was quite excited to receive this jump rope since the price was good and the handles incorporate a swivel action. The problem with many "weighted rope section" jump ropes is the strain on the wrist because the rope pulls on them. My first reaction in opening this product was wow, it's big (circumference). I could only imagine how big the heavier jump ropes are. I noticed the handles did not have any weight to them. This is essential not to increase the challenge but for the rotation of a rope/band that is, itself, weighted. The swivel handle aspect was the primary reason for my purchase, the price helped as well. To the product's defense, it did have good swivel capability but without some weight within the handles, it actually caused just as much strain as handles without swivel rotation. I an neither happy or upset with this purchase. I will however continue to search for other brands before purchasing their other ropes.
