Ropeless Jump Rope
Have you ever tried to jump rope in a confined space? If you have, then this gadget should fascinate you.
Since there’s no actual rope, you can skip in limited space indoors, and not hit the ceiling with the rope, or trip for that matter. It even makes a snapping sound with every jump to help you maintain proper jumping rhythm.
You can buy the Ropeless Jump Rope at Hammacher Schlemmer.
“You can input your height and weight into the device, and the LCD on one of the handheld units informs you of calories burned, jump repetitions, and exercise time, or the device has a “talking” mode that informs you of exercise progress. Part of the training regimen of professional boxers and Olympic wrestlers, jumping rope exercises your cardiovascular system while exerting less stress on knees than jogging, strengthens your arms and shoulders, and ten minutes of jumping rope can burn as many calories as running an eight minute mile.”
