Customer Review: Gret product!
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I really don't know why people are placing "cons" for this product that have more to do with the effects of exercise as opposed to the actual product, but, I guess people will always have something to complain about.
I bought this as I love to jump rope, but unless you have a yard or a huge room to jump, it's just not feasible. So I bought these. I have to say, they're darn good!! I've read a few comments about the balls hitting you if you change rhythm or something...I've used them for three days straight, using the video, just jumping for 10 mins, etc., and I have never, ever had the balls somehow whack me in the hands, head, arms, etc. If you have any awareness of your body, you have no worries about anything hitting you. I haven't used the electronic features yet, as I'm more into just setting a timer and jumping for 10-15 mins at a time as opposed to knowing the number of jumps, etc. But they seem like a good feature if you're into that sort of thing.
Bottom line, if you like to jump rope, or want to start because it's a great way to become cardiovascularly fit, this is an excellent product to get you on your way. Oh, and the DVD is pretty good; the beginner routine is 8 mins split up in (4) 2 min intervals with water breaks in between. I used this when I first got it and it definitely gets your heart pumping.
So, don't worry about balls flying, the handles being too big, electronics being too light, etc...this is a great product that delivers results.
Customer Review: Fun & intense workout. Very satisfied after 1 year.
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this gadget last year because I read that jumping rope burns more fat in less time than other long-and-boring cardio activities.
At first, I was a bit skeptic because of the idea of jumping with an imaginary "rope". However, I jumped the first 2 weeks following the DVDs and then I started doing my own routines.
I put my favorite music and start jumping following the rhythm... it's kinda fun... anyway, after 4 months, I had dropped 20 pounds... eating whatever I wanted! And I kept losing weight... then I had to control the emotion, many people told me I was getting too skinny. The point I want to make is: this little device is a genius invention, and IT WORKS!
I don't need to join a gym or do some 1-hour "always-the-same" workout. With little room space, good music, and imagination, I can motivate myself to keep doing 10-15 minutes of jumpsnap everyday and avoid a disgusting beer-belly.
Couple a few minutes of jumpsnap with weight lifting, do not eat too much, and you will be in very good shape. Start slow... 5 minutes daily, following the DVDs... and in a few weeks you can go on your own, from 10 to 30 minutes or more, as you wish. But be careful, it can become too addictive because you will lose the pounds very fast and it's not so healthy.
One of the best buys in my whole life. This is something I can see myself sticking to forever. Very satisfied.
Customer Review: so far so good--from a SAHM mom
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought this about 2 months ago but didn't pull it out til last week--I thought i was too busy. Well, whaddya know, it doesn't take much time at all to really start sweating. I am a former hardcore athlete who has since had two babies, and I am tired of the fat around the middle. So with two young kids (and homeschooling too) I simply could not find the time to exercise. I don't have a sitter, so that's out. My husband works a lot, and sometimes weekends too, so that's out--I suppose I could work out when he gets home at 8:30, but really, I am beat. So...I decide to try the Jump Snap. My husband, who likes to jump rope, thought it was ridiculous. "Why not just jump rope??" he says. Well, the truth is, I don't really feel like concentrating that hard. Add to that the fact that our apartment isn't huge, and I just thought this would be a fun alternative. I watch the nightly news which I've tivo-ed every night while jumping, after the kids go to bed, or I go for 10-15 minutes while the kids are coloring or reading. I feel better and more energetic, which is almost as important as burningn the fat, so that's great. I haven't tried it long enough to be able to tell whether I will lose the butt and belly fat, but heck, at least I'm MOVING, right?Customer Review: Inventive Exercise Idea
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
This has really helped push my exercise level up a notch!! I play tennis on the weekends and was doing the exercise bike for 30-40 minutes during the week. I could only do the bike so fast or so hard because of my bad knee. Doing the jump snap instead of the bike has really helped my tennis, and it takes a lot less time too. It also seems to help my knee. I haven't had any issue with the balls hitting my hands. I also disagree that it does not count accurately. Sure, it might count a non-jump if you are moving around, but so what? I suppose you could also jump in place, but if you were actually going to do that, why would you have ordered this in the first place? Sure it is a gimmick. Unless you work on a farm or in construction, most exercise is gimmicky. If it gets you to move that is the main thing. I find the built in time tracker useful. Jump roping is very intense, so I can take a break without losing track of how long I have been at it. It is going build endurance on this, but that is exactly why I need to keep doing it, and it is fun to do.Customer Review: A miracle fat-burner
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I bought jumpsnap about two weeks ago and it has burned fat off my body which I have not been able to budge for years.I have logged hours on the treadmill for years to no avail, I have lifted weights which helped somewhat but after jumpsnapping for only one week about 15 miinutes a day, my clothes are falling off and fat is melting from everywhere. Mind you, I am 55 years old so fat-burning has been practically impossible... until I bought and started using junpsnap!Another plus, I had trouble with my CD's so I sent an email of the the details of my problem to the owner-inventer of this miracle work-out tool and he promptly rectifed the situation which is refreshing ...A great work-out tool that delivers even more than it promises.Another big plus....my dog and cats do not get snapped by a rope ... there is no rope so they can practically sit at my feet and watch me work-out without getting hurt.
