Benefits of a Weighted Jump Rope | Rope Design, Cardio Impact and More
The traditional jump rope was designed as a lightweight training tool that could be easily taken anywhere for a quick workout. It also was intended to improve footwork and cardiovascular performance. It turns out, the jump rope is more effective at improving your cardio health than running!
In recent years, jump rope designs have evolved to include speed ropes for increased cardio and footwork intensity along with weighted ropes to intensify the exercise for the entire body. Maybe you’ve seen these recent designs and are wondering, “Why should I buy a weighted jump rope?” That’s what we’ll answer in this video. Give our Muay Thai Jump Rope a try after!

Generally speaking for fitness purposes would you suggest for MT rope to be on the shorter end of your range, especially if you’re not doing complcated tricks with it? i.e. usual boxer moves and footwork.

started with a elitesrs boxer rope and then went to the eliteSRS muay thai rope and now I’m not coming back, I don’t receive the dose of dopamine I need to start the day if I do my workout with a regular rope.
Thank you greatly for this video. I currently use a speed rope when warming up for Muay Thai. I found your rope listed on Amazon and was happy to find this video. Very educational and convinced me to grab a second rope.
Hi i recently bought a weighted jump rope i think its weight will be around 250-300gms but when i try to jump for 75 jumps then i feel like extremely tired and gasping. Then next time I feel slightly feel afraid to do again. Is the fear is real or irrational.
Yall need to come out with a 5 lbs weighted rope to compete with cross rope, the only 5 lbs ones I see are just the plastic "battle rope"/ boating rope kind that don’t swivel and destroy my wrists because of it.
Thanks
This video is very educational. It’s actually very surprising how hard it is to find information on what good weighted ropes actually should look like and be. Most “weighted” ropes on the market like Amazon are always just regular ropes (like 2/3 mm so not even rightly sized ropes) with weights inside the handle which isn’t entirely honest.
Even “Speed” ropes on the market are just regular 3 or 4mm PVC ropes with no weights are called as such even though they clearly aren’t actual thin Speed ropes for double-unders. It’s also annoying how most ropes do not state their thickness or weight so it makes it even more difficult to compare and consider ropes before buying.
Thanks for stating the best weighted rope measurements and their benefits 👌
