Weighted Jump Rope

The GoFit weighted jump rope adds another dimension to your training. Removable 1/2 lb. weights in each foam-padded handle help build your wrists and forearms, while the rope still gives you a great cardio workout.

For lacrosse players, stronger wrists and forearms help with stick control, passing and shooting. Because the weights come out, you can also use it as a standard speed rope on lighter days. GoFit recommends that sedentary people or people over 35 see a physician before starting any exercise program.

Proper jump rope length: hold the handles like ski poles, stand on the center of the rope and pull up. The handles should reach the center of your chest, and no higher than your armpits. If the rope is longer, shorten it.

How to shorten it: WARNING: choking hazard. Small parts. Not for children. Adult use only. First, twist off one handle cap and remove the bag of 2 extra metal clips. Next, push the rope through the handle cap and cut about 1/2" outside the clip (it's better to cut too long if unsure). Finally, slide a metal clip to your length, clamp it with pliers, pull the rope into the handle and twist the cap back on.

Check before every use: inspect for nicks, tears or other damage. If you see damage or wear, stop using it and contact GoFit Customer Service. Product code: GF-WR.
