Skipping Ropes

Buying a skipping rope? Here's what to look out for

At Matchu, we have two different types of jump ropes. A comfortable fitness jump rope and a robust cross-training rope. In other words, the deluxe jump rope and the speed rope. The names of the jump ropes already give a lot away. The deluxe variant is equipped with very comfortable handles and made of high-quality lightweight material, so you won't have any problems with your hands while jumping. The rope is made of a lightweight plastic and is not adjustable. This makes the jump rope suitable for both beginners and pros. The speed rope is an ideal tool to complete your jumps even faster. The handles are made of hollow sturdy aluminum, making them lightweight and providing a lot of grip. The rope itself is a coated metal cable. This allows you to make very fast movements, making it perfect for practicing double unders and even triple unders. This jump rope is also very easy to adjust, which you can do with the included Allen key. Before your first jump, make sure the ball bearings are securely in place using the Allen key. This rope is also very suitable for cross trainers. To find out more about how to incorporate a speed rope or other rope into your workout, take a look at our jump rope exercises page.
