Naturalico Speed Jump Rope Review

     This is one of the most exciting items I've been able to use all year. Even my husband and daughter cannot get enough of it. I cannot pull it out of its carrying case without one of them at my side begging for a turn. And I must be a horrible mom because I don't want to share. lol. Most moms have to hide in a closet to eat a candy bar without being disturbed. Well, if I could fit in a closet with my new toy then I would too.


     My favorite toy of the year is my new Naturalico Speed Jump Rope. I just can't get enough of it. This thing is absolutely amazing. I want to give each and every one of you one of these just so you can see how amazing it is. I didn't own a jump rope as a kid and so I have never been very good with one. I remember always dreading one day of gym class each year in elementary. I loved gym. It was always my favorite subject. But one day I always gym class... jump rope day. It was a competition to see who could jump the longest. I just wanted to jump, but as soon as you messed up you had to sit out. So, I was always one of the first ones sitting on the sidelines. I hated not being able to participate in all the FuN.

     As soon as you enter junior high school they do away with the ropes and you never see them again. Which is a pity because they are actually one of the best forms of exercise. I discovered this while doing some research during college. I decided it was time to buy a rope and teach myself to jump. I headed to the nearest store and purchased what I thought was the best jump rope. It was made by one of the leading fitness brands, Gold's Gym. It was designed so that it can be used as a normal jump rope or a weighted rope. I followed the instructions (I am a stickler when it comes to following rules) and trimmed it down to size. I was so thrilled about my rope. But after a few uses it stopped working. It literally would not spin on the one side. Do you know what you can do with a jump rope that doesn't spin? NOTHING! I was devastated by my loss. I gave up on jump-roping altogether.

     A few years later I came across my rope again. I wanted desperately to jump rope. I searched my father's workshop for tools and went to work. After a lot of frustration and sweat I got the dang handle open. The rope had gotten stuck with the weights and made it nearly impossible to unscrew. Once I had it open and fixed I jumped and jumped and jumped. Every day I jumped until I got too frustrated and quit. It always seemed to snag and stop rotating smoothly. And I could never get a very good rhythm going.

     But it is completely different with this rope. It is so smooth! It will keep spinning FoReveR! There are bearings in the handles and on the rope. The ball bearings are meant to increase the number of revolutions per minute. This is the ideal rope if you need to achieve double and triple unders, as well as the best PR's (personal records) during a workout. There are 4 high grade metal ball bearings on the rope which promote faster turning and longer durability. I am pretty sure it can spin faster than anyone can even jump. And the rope part is made of plastic coated cable. This makes it light, durable and smooth. Which is perfect for beginners like me! The cable is 10 feet long and adjustable. That means anyone of any height can use it. It also comes with a pamphlet that explains how to measure your rope properly. Until I read through it I had no idea that there are different lengths used for beginners and advanced users. And as you get better you can adjust your rope even more!

With the rope, you also get a free nylon bag to carry it in.
Did you know that short, intense jump rope circuits are an effective way to burn calories and fat during your workout and after?! I could definitely use some extra burning when I'm sitting around after my workout is done. lol. Jumping rope for 10 minutes can burn the same amount of calories as 30 minutes of slow cardio. Who doesn't need more time?! 

Check out this link to find out how many calories you will burn for someone your weight:

Jumping rope is a great cardiovascular workout. Your cardiovascular system will actually improve if you jump rope for as little as 10 minutes each day! My arteries could definitely use a little help with that, especially since my introduction to Sweet Potato Fries.... Jumping rope also demands physical and mental endurance. Maybe it will help ward off Alzheimer's and Dementia? And best of all, it will trim your waistline!

That makes it perfect for beginners, WOD's Crossfit Trainers, Boxers, MMA Trainees, and everyone else that is capable of jumping.

I even let some of the members at my local gym try it out. And these people are serious speed jumpers - wish I could've gotten a video of them for you. They absolutely loved this jump rope.
