Skipping Ropes

Basic skipping ropes from LivePro and Liveup Sport are a good first rope for adults and kids, and there’s a leather rope if you like the classic boxing style.

Speed ropes are lighter and spin faster, which helps with double unders. The Cyclone Pro V1.0 comes in several colours, and we also have speed ropes from Hiperlion, RPM, Vortex, MoGold and LivePro. The Harbinger Pro, MoGold and self-locking pro ropes adjust in length.

Weighted ropes, such as the 1.2kg battle skipping rope and the MoGold weighted speed rope, turn slower and work your arms and shoulders harder, so they suit conditioning more than speed. The cordless rope with balls works under low ceilings.

To size a rope, stand on the middle with one foot and bring the handles up. They should reach about your armpits. Go a little longer while you’re learning.
