I like the leather jump ropes better because boxers use them. If you have ever watched a good boxer jump rope, it is very impressive. People who are interested in cardiovascular training as well as improving their athletic performance, should try a leather jump rope. Leather ropes are also easier to do crossed arms jumps with. This rope is good because you can adjust the length.

Jumping rope is old school but effective. Nothing gets my heart pumping better. And I find it's good for arm, legs, and core muscles. Plus, it's the easiest thing to take on the road when traveling.
