Summary: Terrible
Comment: I recvied this product and the workout DVD was blank!! I called to try to get a new one and have never recieved it. My advice is just go and buy a regular jump rope, this is a waste of money!

Summary: Convenient
Comment: I would like to begin by saying that I had reserves about this product - I didn't think it would be that much different from a regular jump rope - at least not $50 different. So I purchased the product on the pretense that I could always return it. Well, I haven't returned it and I use it everyday! I can jump rope inside while watching a dvd or listening to music (without an mp3 player) and I don't have to worry about hitting anything or knocking anything over.

To address a couple of things:
#1) You probably should find a low-intensity exercise if jumping rope hurts your joints. Possibly water aerobics or even regular aerobics - certainly not running or jumping. Do not blame this product for your joint injuries.
#2) When I first started using the jumpsnap, my left ball bounced around aimlessly, like many other users. There is a trick to getting both balls to spin at the same time and in perfect circles. With a regular jump rope you use just your wrists to spin the rope - this isn't necessary with the jumpsnap. If you keep your arms almost still and jump, and with the slightest effort move the handles in teeny circles, they'll spin correctly. This also provides a better upper-body workout than a regular jump rope.
#3) I'm not sure if JumpSnap, LLC has changed the design since many have commented, but the little balls are protected by a foam shell - not how it's shown in the picture. I haven't gotten smacked by them yet - I don't stop suddenly though. But the foam seems to have been added to prevent this.

Overall, I wish it didn't cost $50 - I would price it at $20 - but it is worth it to purchase, so long as you use it. Jumping rope is great exercise and perfect for people who don't have all the time in the world! Happy jumping!

Summary: Cute, but do you really need it?
Comment: I ordered this product because I wanted a different type of cardio workout. I am bored with the treadmill and elliptical. Jumping rope is definitely an excellent workout and being able to simulate the action and take advantage of the benefits in relatively small places is a cool idea. So, JumpSnap gets a lot high reviews, I figured I'd try it. But honestly, I got the product, tried the workout DVDs and yes, the workout was great but, I could have done it without using the handles. There really is no way the counter is accurate and the simulated rope sound isn't all that great. It's a good prop but really.. You can get a good Rope Workout video and when you can't actually use a regular rope, (like indoors in a small area), just "pretend" to use a rope. You will probably have the same results and save some $$ too. I returned the product... still waiting for my refund though. :-(

Summary: Not good for joints
Comment: I think this product could burn lots of calories, but I found that the next day after each workout both my hip and knee joints were extremely sore! I work out regularly and have never experienced this much joint discomfort after a workout session. I have stopped using this product.
