Looking to starting doing some jump rope work, and I was looking at some websites on jump ropes, noticing that there are weighted ones. What would be good for a beginner like me?

One that turns. It will take months for your skipping to develop anyway. Definatly don't get the ones with ball bearings in them. I got that as my first rope and it wouldn't work properly.Originally posted by elchinoloco View Post -
I would start with a speed rope (non-weighted). After you get decent with this, you can move on to the weighted one as it really works your triceps.Comment

Start with a light speed rope. As you improve you can start experimenting with different styles and weights. Personally I like some of the "crappy" ropes with a heavy cord, as it spins the weight pulls in all directions working your shoulders pretty good, but you cant get them spinning quite as fast.Comment

Don't go with leather, the twist and knot up, the cheap beaded ropes is good. You can get them for like 2 bucks if that. Nice and light easy to turn and develop your style and form with.Comment
