66 Fit Unisex's Heavy Jump Rope-Black

Whilst the rope itself is of a good durable quality, it's the handles that fail the product. The swivel is poorly constructed and stiff and in fact, one of the handles broke after 3 weeks of use (approx. 5 x 80 - 130 revolutions, 4 times a week). I will repair it myself and try some sillicone spray, before eventually, I guess, replacing the product.

I'm 1.69m, 70kg and I got the yellow jump rope. Feels not that heavy but not light either, but definitely you can feel the weight. I'm still not proficient at jumping, I started with the slimmer, wire thing for speed and I wanted something with more feedback and I think this will do. In terms of shorting the rope (cut it) I heard it was a bit difficult for some, and I guess it will because the rope is quite thick. Basically it has a screwed stopper that you use after cutting the rope, but what I did instead was chuck the screw and stopper away and instead I shorten the rope by sliding it inside the handle itself and put strong tape at the top of the handle (on the inside). I use it a few times now and I can say is gradually improving my jumping. I cut the rope and is not that difficult, just use a very sharp utility knife like this one: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IJ93WW2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The rope is nice and thick. It doesn't weigh as much as I thought it would .. until I started skipping with it. I couldn't manage 2 minutes, for my first few sessions. It pulls you subtly off-balance, and is a real work-out. I feel it most in my shoulders and forearms. But even the jumping itself feels harder. The short plastic sleeves should make the rope wear well, by protecting it from the ground. I enjoy doing cross-overs and double-unders and stuff with a normal rope, but this is my new warm-up exercise of choice.

Definitely right one for me, I ordered a speed rope it is to fast for me being a beginner so I ordered 66fit grey wow only had a little blast on it but instantly skip better for longer , I'm so surprised how beefy this thing is a beast, so much feedback I can control the pace with the rope so can go for longer and it's better on my patio the cracks don't bother the flow due to being such a thick rope. Recommend this product for anyone starting skip rope for fitness, and then have speed rope if you advance and want to do tricks .Great delivery from Amazon as usual.

After one day use the handle flew off from the rope whilst I was in the middle of skipping, very dangerous! Handle feels fragile and lighter plastic has no durability especially against a heavy rope. During my short experiences with it, it is a good way for strengthening your upper body & good work out but its a shame the quality of the handles were no good.

Few mixed reviews.... however ignore!!! On picking up my package I was not best pleased as the box felt light.. I thought I'd give the rope ago before sending back.... omg! This rope is a beast.... 1 x 2minute round and I felt the affects, tonnage and sweat! Very pleased with this rope... ideal for any boxer, mma, xfit etc at all levels

I bought the red one.Picked it up and thought, it dont feel heavy, then you start swingin it 🤯What I dont like tho is its quite stiff, especially around where the rope goes into the handles, so sometimes it kinda gets caught.Hopefully it becomes less stiff over time

Brilliant at what it delivers. Strong and sturdy. Since the weight is equally distributed all along the rope thanks to it being heavy and not just on the handles like some others, it’s hard work without the potential injuries. Shoulders, forearms and arms get a little workout too if you keep going for a while, making every session a proper full body workout. Love it
