Looking for the very best jump ropes around? Relax, in this article I have got you covered completely!
I personally only started using a jump rope a few years ago when I was introduced to Muay Thai whilst living in Northern Thailand.
At first, I hated it with a passion.
Not because it wasn’t a good workout, but because I found it really difficult.
It was super frustrating, and every few rounds the rope would hit my legs and I would have to restart in despair.
But with a lot of time and effort, I managed to get myself to a level where I could go for 10 or so minutes without having to stop.
And since then, I have jumped rope as much as possible!
We have actually written about jumping rope quite a bit here at The Bald Brothers.
I have put together articles for people just wanting to start out with jumping rope, and we have a few good workouts that incorporate a jump rope.
