Sports reviews of Pink JumpSnap, The Ropeless Jump Rope - Calorie Counter, DVD Workouts, Hand Weights, & Travel Bag (Pink)
Customer Review: Many worthwhile advantages to the "ropeless jump rope"
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Boy, the reviews on this product are really mixed, and after using it for nearly 3 weeks, I thought I had something worthwhile to add.
First of all, jumping rope is a great workout. All sorts of athletes, both professional, and amateur jump rope as a fast, easy way to increase cardio endurance.
Okay, that may be true, but why JumpSnap? What's the advantage to a ropeless jumprope?
My brother recommended jumping rope to me as a way to get fitter, but there is one big, or should I say, low problem. The ceiling height in my house is too low to jump rope indoors. That limits my ability to practice this form of fitness to days with good weather; basically, the summer months where I live.
Enter JumpSnap. Without the rope, I can practice jumping rope inside my house all year. Even if I did have high ceilings, I do a bit of traveling and the JumpSnap ensures I can continue my workout even if I'm in a hotel room with low ceilings.
Another benefit to ropeless jumping is that you don't trip over the rope. My 7 year old daughter had no interest in jumping rope last year as she couldn't coordinate the movements properly and found it too frustrating to continue. With the JumpSnap, she can jump with ease, and her confidence and coordination are growing.
A few reviewers felt that this product is just "bells and whistles" and you can get an equally good workout by just pretending to jump rope. That may be true, but that doesn't appeal to me at all. For any exercise to succeed, the athlete must have the motivation to perform the plan. In a way, the tech-y aspects of this product really do motivate me to jump more. Maybe someone else wouldn't feel silly jumping up and down while pretending to jump rope, but for me, hearing the "swoosh-swoosh" and knowing that the JumpSnap is keeping track for me, or timing me (you can set a target time or jump number,) really helps keep me on track.
Another additional benefit of the JumpSnap, is that you can add weights to the handles to increase the intensity of the workout. My husband, who is much more athletic than I am, prefers to use it with the weights. I look forward to keeping the challenge up as I progress.
My husband, daughter and I really enjoy the DVD. I actually thought it would just be jumping rope, and was pleasantly surprised that there are so many variations you can do in 8 minutes. You really get a good workout in that time. Having a workout to follow also helps with the motivation. Days that I don't follow the DVD workout, I tend to only jump for about 2-3 minutes, quickly getting bored.
We actually enjoyed this product so much, we bought a second one, in blue, for my husband, so that the two of us can workout at the same time. (You can set two users for the JumpSnap, recording your weight and height - it will calculate the number of calories burned). We noticed that the Blue JumpSnap cost about $10 more than the Pink. It turns out it has several workouts, that are very different from the Pink's workouts, with much more variety in them. Well worth it. For me, as a beginning athlete, I think the pink 8, 12 and 16 minute workouts are a good starting point.
