It’s a great concept but I’ll still stick with my real skipping rope. It will help me develop my coordination better.

And I’m not a big fan of calorie counting – whether it is calories consumed or expelled.

As a exercise physiologist, I’m face-palming myself to death.
If you’re thinking about buying this product follow these instructions:
1 – Buy an actual rope
2 – Tie them around your neck
3 – Climb a tree and secure one end to a branch
4 – Jump off and let the rope take your weight away

I have been using JumpSnap for past 4 months. I am 63 and I jump only for 15 seconds and a rest for 15 seconds.This cycle is continued for 30 minutes while watching TV news.In fact its not jumping with both legs together, While standing over the balls of feet(situated just below the toes), I just drag myself backwards while jumping just half an inch.Looking at the wall clock I decide when to stop and start again.I also sip a little from a bottle of lukewarm water and finish it by the end of exercise.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA this is the best idea ever! I think the most replies are done by these scammers supporting this product. That or the lot of you are American.
1) 10 minutes of jumprope = 30 minutes of treadmill.
Fact: Not even close. Even if you sprint rope for the entire 10 mintues, you wouldn’t burn as many. Then again, let’s not specify since for all we know, you could have walked 30 minutes on a treadmill.
2) IT’S A JUMP ROPE WITHOUT A ROPE!
A talking, weighted pair of sticks. How clever of them to invent something for the lazy. Oh wait, you could trip over the rope; LOL. Then again, some people do need a product to actually get them going even if it’s a pair of sticks.

Wouldn’t know if Jumpsnap is a good product or not. I ordered it on August 11….Received it on August August 20…..Smart Handle did not work…requested a replacement on August 23…..received on August 29…..wrong handle I received the dumb handle…..not to mention how filthy it was. Black grease handprints all over it and the ball on the end look liked it had been dragged through the mud….called again this morning to receive the correct replacement…told would have to wait another 10 days….no overnight option available and the 3 day service is not available for replacement parts. So I have my RMA # and I am returning everything…..I will just cut the rope of my jump rope and use that…the counter would have been nice, but the customer service is not. Buyer Beware….PS I spoke to a rep and a supervisor.

Another advantage what I found is….. You can jump over a lawn or even dense grass. This makes less strain over knee joint. A lovely and great innovation but costly.

Using two bottles of water as a jump rope is just as effective, and it’s free.

The person name Netty obivously doesn’t have a clue about health and fitness! How is this product sneaky? Give me a break!

If Netty even bothered to research jump roping, they would have seen that physically it’s one of the most effective forms of all over cardio there is.

Not everyone is good at jump roping though, or able to do it at the speed that is most benefical.

Fact is it takes skill to learn how to jump with a regular jump rope. Even if you are good at jump roping, you can get off step and break your stride.

With the jump start, once you get the rhythm down, which doesn’t take long, it’s an awesome high impact, all over workout.

There are no ropes to trip you up, so you can do a continual workout. It’s got a stop watch, calories burns and total jumps. It makes a sound to get down the rhythm.

It’s also small in size, so you can really do it or bring it anywhere. I love that. This way when I travel, I have can bring this piece with me easily and do my workouts anywhere I am at.

All in all, this is not a gimmick. Its effective, inexpensive, compact and convienent.
