Review
Summary |
By now, we are all familiar with the image of the fit, toned, and muscular boxer or gym rat who jumps rope at an amazing speed, without any indication of strain or effort. We know that jumping rope is not just for school children anymore. This is because jumping rope is a very effective way to increase cardiovascular work, strengthen the legs, and burn calories at an alarming rate. In fact, according to some estimates, 10 minutes of jumping rope is equivalent to about 30 minutes of jogging. In light of this, it’s easy to see why companies have tried to increase the appeal of jump ropes. It is a difficult activity, after all.

Most, if not all, Digital Jump Ropes come with a digital display in one of the handles. Depending on the level of device sophistication, users can enter their body weight in order to begin calculating calories burned and body fat reduced. The display also offers a clock, timer, and jump count in addition to the calorie and fat burning information.
Variations will include the digital monitoring capabilities and the materials used to make the rope and handles. We should note that far simpler versions exist that only calculate jumps for progress-tracking purposes. These are, of course, cheaper.

Many more options exist on the market.
