JumpSnap is a ropeless jump rope designed for exercise, with electronic handles that record time and calories burned. It’s a good option for people who find traditional jump ropes challenging, and is also suitable for small spaces and travel. However, some may find it uncomfortable or less natural than using an actual rope.
JumpSnap is a ropeless jump rope designed for exercise, intended to allow people to jump rope anywhere without having an actual rope swinging and bumping into things. The JumpSnap is also a good option for people who are uncoordinated and find themselves tripping over a traditional jump rope, which interrupts the workout and lowers the heart rate, or could lead to injury. JumpSnap is sold in a kit that comes with two jump rope handles, interchangeable weights that can be added to each handle, and a DVD that includes four different workouts to ensure variety.
Jumping rope is often recommended by trainers and doctors as a form of exercise. It’s an aerobic exercise, so it gets your heart racing, which can help with weight loss and improve overall cardiovascular endurance, among other benefits. In addition, the whole body is involved at once, which is rare to find in other types of aerobic exercise like walking or jogging, and is very beneficial for the bones and muscles. With practice, many people can get better at jumping rope and use it as a type of daily exercise. Unfortunately some find it too challenging; It’s also hard to do indoors, especially in a small room or while traveling.
JumpSnap aims to address some of these issues by removing the rope itself. The electronic handles record the amount of time spent jumping and calories burned, and three different weights can be inserted into the handles to make them heavier and to make it feel more like a real jump rope as they extend on nylon strings slightly past the end of the handle. Using this device, people can imitate the movements of jumping rope, without fear of tripping over the rope or hitting it against something or someone in the room.
For travel, the JumpSnap is also a good option for use in a small hotel room. Some people simply use this device for travel and use a jump rope when at home. The instructional workout DVD, however, provides four different individual workouts using the JumpSnap, which can help add more variety to a standard jump rope workout. Of course, it is possible to simply try different methods independently when using JumpSnap, such as hopping on one foot, jumping, or jogging in place, among others. The beauty of any jump rope workout is that it is easily customizable and can be made more or less challenging depending on one’s physical ability.
However, there are some drawbacks to using this device instead of a traditional jump rope. Firstly, some may find the jumpsnap feels uncomfortable or less natural than doing this type of exercise with an actual rope. Also, some have complained that dangling counterweights can sometimes hit the user’s fingers and cause some discomfort. So the device may not be for everyone, but it does provide a viable alternative for jumping rope indoors or when traveling.
