Alternatives to the Elite Jumps Heavy Beaded Jump Rope

Products ranked near it in our research, each better for a slightly different buyer.

Buying advice: jump ropes

  1. Speed ropes suit CrossFit and fast footwork. Weighted ropes suit conditioning. Beaded and PVC ropes are good for beginners and rhythm work.
  2. Stand on the middle of the rope; the handles should reach about your armpits for beginners, a little shorter for experienced jumpers. Adjustable ropes let you trim it.
  3. Ball-bearing handles spin smoothly. Cheap bushings can stick and make the rope turn unevenly.
  4. Concrete wears through coated cables quickly. Use a mat or a thicker PVC rope on rough surfaces.
  5. Longer handles help with crossovers. Grippy, comfortable handles reduce hand fatigue.

Should beginners start with a speed rope or a heavier rope?

A slightly heavier rope, like a nylon or lightly weighted cable, is usually easier to learn on because you can feel where the rope is at all times as it swings. A very thin, fast speed cable is genuinely harder to time as a beginner because it moves faster than your reflexes are used to. Most people move to a speed rope after a few weeks once basic timing and footwork are automatic.

How long should a beginner jump rope be?

Stand on the center of the rope with both feet and pull the handles up. For beginners, the handles should reach roughly to your armpits or chest, whichever feels more comfortable while you're still learning to time your jumps. Most adjustable ropes let you shorten this later as your technique improves and you want a faster rotation.
