Excellent video! I wish it had been posted back when I started jumping rope in March 2020. 😂 I completely agree with you about weighted ropes not being ideal for beginners. I'm in my 60s and I wouldn't have been able to manage my 1/2 lb Crossrope as a complete beginner - and it can be too much for me even now, too. My favorite beginner rope was the PunkRope, which is 5mm PVC. It was the rope that made me fall in love with jumping rope! ❤
best rope for a beginner is a plastic beaded rope, 1" beads, adjust it to your height + 3feet don't jump more than 3 minute total time every other day if you are just starting wear good cushioned shoes and if possible get a jump mat or even a yoga mat(if it doesn't have high ridges that catch the rope)
My old rope handle broke. Not sure what it was made of but was perfect. Im advanced and the new rope is rubber like material and i feel its slow. Can't find my rhythm. I may need the speed. Any thoughts?
Most ropes are adjustable when you buy them. Crossrope you select a rope based on your height. When you step on the rope in the middle and pull the handles up, the bottom of the handles should be around your armpit-a little higher or lower based on personal preference.
beaded rope all day for beginners best feedback with not too much weight. PVC will be a lot harder to feel best bet is to aim for something at about 200g and if you need to shorten beaded rope just cut it ... lol
Awesome video. I'm super happy the winner was an affordable rope and not some 150$ rope!
Haha glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you! I'm glad to hear it was helpful. Yeah right around 5mm seems to be perfect.
Thanks for making the video, really helped me decide!
I'm glad to hear my video helped! What did you end up going with?

Thankyou for the jump rope buying guide. It helped me narrow down the jump rope i needed as beginner based on my current fitness level.
Happy to help!
Just purchased your top pick! Looking forward to my upcoming shin bruises!
Haha you’ll be fine!

Best review out there. Thanks!
Thank you!
i just want one that doesn't sting when you miss a beat
which one would you say is the quietest?
I've never noticed a difference between any jump ropes.
My old rope handle broke. Not sure what it was made of but was perfect. Im advanced and the new rope is rubber like material and i feel its slow. Can't find my rhythm. I may need the speed. Any thoughts?
It sounds like it may have been a speed rope with a wire rope.
where to get that pink color weighted rope?

Hi great video! I am a beginner and 5'2" which length rope would be best for me?
Most ropes are adjustable when you buy them. Crossrope you select a rope based on your height.
When you step on the rope in the middle and pull the handles up, the bottom of the handles should be around your armpit-a little higher or lower based on personal preference.
