Customer Rating: Summary: Just what the Dr. ordered Comment: I recently was told I needed to lower my blood pressure,I like was told a great way to get the heart rate up was swimming ,running and jumping rope I decided to get a jumprope. This is a strong lightweight jumprope exactly like the ones used at many schools throughout the USA .It is exactly what I wanted it to be.I expect it to continue its usefulness for years to come. Customer Rating: Summary: Favorite jump rope Comment: I'd been looking for a good, durable jump rope so my daughters could have more things to play outdoors when I came across these. They used to have these in my elementary gym classes and I loved them. They're sturdy, colorful and when you swing them they keep a better shape. I've already bought several of them. I would recommend also getting a book on jump rope rhymes. We have Anna Banana. They get exercise, fresh air, and wholesome fun. Who could ask for more?
