The Ultimate Beginner Jump Rope Buying Guide!

The type of jump rope you use matters, especially if you’re a beginner!

If you’re like me you went on Amazon and bought a random rope. You might get lucky with your purchase but you could also waste money like I did.

Little did I know certain jump ropes are much better suited for beginners.

In this video I share my collection of jump ropes, discuss which ones are better suited for beginners, and rank them all from best to worst!

💬 If you have any questions about anything I covered in this video, just leave a comment below and I’ll get back to you ASAP!

Awesome video. I'm super happy the winner was an affordable rope and not some 150$ rope!

Excellent video! I wish it had been posted back when I started jumping rope in March 2020. 😂 I completely agree with you about weighted ropes not being ideal for beginners. I'm in my 60s and I wouldn't have been able to manage my 1/2 lb Crossrope as a complete beginner - and it can be too much for me even now, too. My favorite beginner rope was the PunkRope, which is 5mm PVC. It was the rope that made me fall in love with jumping rope! ❤

Thankyou for the jump rope buying guide. It helped me narrow down the jump rope i needed as beginner based on my current fitness level.

best rope for a beginner is a plastic beaded rope, 1" beads, adjust it to your height + 3feet
don't jump more than 3 minute total time every other day if you are just starting
wear good cushioned shoes and if possible get a jump mat or even a yoga mat(if it doesn't have high ridges that catch the rope)

Just purchased your top pick! Looking forward to my upcoming shin bruises!

My old rope handle broke. Not sure what it was made of but was perfect. Im advanced and the new rope is rubber like material and i feel its slow. Can't find my rhythm. I may need the speed. Any thoughts?

Hi great video! I am a beginner and 5'2" which length rope would be best for me?

beaded rope all day for beginners best feedback with not too much weight. PVC will be a lot harder to feel best bet is to aim for something at about 200g
and if you need to shorten beaded rope just cut it ... lol
