Who Can Make Gains with the Fitness-Mad Speed Skipping Rope?

Is Skipping a Good Workout?

There are skipping techniques suitable for a range of users, including beginners and pros. Try some of the moves below to maximise your fitness:

• Beginner: New skippers should start with the classic skip, which targets your calves and hamstrings. Once comfortable, move on to the hopping skip, which involves arcing the rope towards one foot at a time and alternating hops so you land on a different foot each time.
• Intermediate: Try the high knees technique, which really makes your calves and hamstrings burn. Simply alternate high knee hops instead of jumping over the rope normally.
• Pro: The crossover skip targets your chest and deltoids. Start in the classic skipping position, and cross your arms over your torso as you swing the rope over your head. On the second skip return to the usual position, and alternate with each jump.

Always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise routine.

Free-Spinning Handles

The Fitness-Mad Speed Skipping Rope features polyethylene handles which have a wide range of benefits on your workout session. They are designed for easy grip, reducing the risk of tripping or dropping the rope. The handles are also low-density and shatter-proof. Alongside this, the handles are free-spinning, meaning that you can rotate the rope easily while jumping. This enables a wider range of techniques.
