Lifeline Fitness Weighted Speed Rope Combining Resistance and Cardio Training to Develop Upper Body Strength and Endurance - 1.25 LBS

I used to run a lot when I was younger just getting out of college, but then I stopped a little because my legs would get sore easy. I started reading up on jumping rope as a comparative exercise that has the same, if not better, benefits as running in less time. I saw a some other jump ropes that were somewhat bland and cheap looking, and then came across the weighted rope. It's been working like a charm. It is a little tangly/tight initially because of the material, but after a couple uses, it's fine. I sweat a lot when I workout, so my hands sometimes get slick and the handles could use a little more grip. Hopefully once my body gets more acclimated, it won't be an issue.

I lost the weight in the handle of a different weighted rope I was given as a gift awhile ago and needed a new rope. I chose the Lifeline rope because the weight isn't in the handles, its in the rope, which I wanted to compare to the weighted handle style. Its a different weorkout and a better one in my opinion. This rope has better rotation and I like the large handles. The rope was curly in the beginning but it straightened out the first time I used it.
