Movie Reviews of Ropesport: Basic Workout
Movie Review: Best Jump Rope I've found!
Summary: 5 Stars
First, let's forget the DVD instructions for a second which most everyone seems to be reviewing. I don't know about everyone else, but I got a jump rope in my kit.
I've lost two or three jump ropes, one an expensive one and one a cheapie but somehow since this is a real set including "handle weights" and the fact, that it is a rather "deluxe" piece of exercising equipment, I don't think this one will get forgotten somewhere in the gym or other places, it's not a hassle to untangle, in fact, it hasn't gotten tangled up yet and the "rope" part is made of a strong plastic/rubbery material. The cost of the product all together is $10; this is more or less a $10 jump rope by itself so the CD and DVD are really freebies to an old hand at jump rope. I spent around $10 for a jump rope by another major exercise equipment manufacturer and that other rope was very flimsy and lightweight. From experience, I can say this is much better. If you don't have an adequate rope to begin with, your exercising can be significantly hindered. Go-Fit products seem to be of good quality. Everyone seems to be reviewing the instructional part of the video, but I think the jump rope itself is a grade A piece of exercise equipment.
Jump Roping is a pretty basic act like learning to drive a car or ride a bicycle. Is there one correct way?? Not really. I do think in the DVD they do inform the viewers fairly well on the jumps covered like the cross over. Basic jumps are covered well but I would urge all who are really interested in jump or skip roping to look around, there are books on it and there are jump (or as in the UK "skip") roping associations where advice can be found as well.
The rope itself is very good for all jump roping and sturdy with good handles, highly and easily adjustable versus some products out there and importantly, they do discuss how to adjust it on the DVD. I am about 6 feet tall, so I did not need to adjust it. The only thing is is if you need to make adjustments, be careful, because you may need to cut the rope. Some people adjust by tying knots. This might be possible too. It has a very good swing to it. This is important, because some jump ropes made of real "rope" often are too light unless say you tape a weight onto it like a quarter or something, otherwise, it can be a light slow swing with "float" but this has a real good swing to it. I do think, there are real nuggets on jump roping though to be found with each individual's research. Don't stop with what they are telling you.
The DVD is basic teaching of jumping rope and with the DVD to watch and the additional musical CD as well as the jump rope, all at a reasonable price, I do give this product a top star rating though I didn't catch a real enthusiasm from the lessons or instructors, they were okay.
