Speed Ropes Are Used By Many People

By Traci Witt


Jump roping is a sport that is still pretty young. At least on a national competition level anyway. While it has been around for a very long time it was not until recently that more and more people took it up and made it a valid sport. It was then that speed ropes started to hit the scene and everybody wanted in. Whenever there is a way to do something faster or bigger, it will usually grab someone's attention.

People who generally use some sort of endurance routine will have speed ropes in their workout. They are great for adding speed, endurance, foot quickness, lower body strength, and a variety of other things. They are no longer just for kids on the playground or for fun out on the sidewalk. Even the double and triple jumpers have taken it to the next level.

Initially for fun, kids around the world picked up on jumping rope. It was also a method of exercise used by people in certain sports. Athletes who were looking to increase their speed and endurance often took to this exercise as a way to do just that. It has even been featured in more than a few movies about boxers, runners, and even baseball and football players.

The speed ropes sold today are of such a high quality that they probably would not even be recognizable by someone who participated in the sport even ten years ago. Using a rope is even a thing of the past, even though it is what they are called. Cables are the in thing now and not just any cable but high tech thin and fast cables.

You never need much to do this type of exercise. Even if you do not want to get too crazy with it right off the bat, you can start off slow. As a matter of fact, that is the recommendation for people who have not done this before or who does not have a lot of experience with it. It can be extremely tiring and really wear you out fast.

So many companies today have gotten into the speed ropes business that you can search the Internet and come up with over a hundred results. Looking in world record books also can give some insight into the popularity of the sport. People are vying for new records every year. Rotations per second or super long endurance records.

People are trying to use these in more ways than ever. Even those who do a double jump are getting into the act. At first an urban game played by girls in groups and switching off every few jumps, there are now competition teams that travel all over the world using high quality products that are used by professionals everywhere.

They are made for low friction and to help you get the most from your workout. Buying the right speed ropes can be a simple thing to do as they are sold almost everywhere. You can find them on the Internet or at the local gym or department store. Once you get a pair and add this to your routine you will notice a change very quickly.
