Why Use A Speed Rope Or Skipping Rope?

Speed ropes and skipping ropes are one of the most efficient pieces of exercise equipment you can buy. They provide a great cardio workout, as well as helping to tone your arms, legs, and shoulders. Plus, they're very versatile - you can use them indoors or outdoors, and you can adjust the intensity of your workout to suit your fitness level. And because they're so affordable, they're the perfect piece of equipment for your home workout.

How To Use A Speed Rope Or Skipping Rope?

Using a speed rope or skipping rope is easy! Just take the rope in both hands and start swinging it around your head. As the rope swings around, jump over it with both feet together. Keep jumping over the rope until you reach the end of your desired time or reps. To make things more challenging, you can try different jumping techniques, such as double unders (where you swing the rope twice before each jump) or crisscrosses (where you cross your arms in front of your body as you jump). You can also increase the speed at which you swing the rope to make things more difficult.

Which Type Of Rope Should I Use?

There are two main types of speed ropes - beaded ropes and licorice ropes. Beaded ropes have plastic beads threaded onto the cord, which makes them slightly heavier than licorice ropes. This weight makes them ideal for beginners who are still getting used to jumping with a rope. Licorice ropes are made from a single piece of nylon cord, which makes them lighter and faster than beaded ropes. This makes them better suited for advanced users who want a more intense workout. Whichever type of rope you choose, make sure that it is adjustable so that you can change the length to suit your height. We stock popular speed rope brands such as Raptor, Vipe and Blackhawk.

These versatile pieces of equipment are perfect for any home workout, and they're very affordable too. So what are you waiting for? We ship all over New Zealand. Get yourself a speed rope or skipping rope today and start reaping the benefits!
