I got a Jumpsnap ropeless jumprope today and gave it a test drive in my home gym. It's a novel idea for fitness equipment that I stumbled on while looking for jumprope information online.

This is my first attempt at shooting and editing video for the web and I think it came out pretty good for a rookie. The Jumpsnap review video is embeded in this blog post for your enjoyment…

Jumpsnap Jumprope Video Review

A few tips about the Jumpsnap I didn't mention in the video are:

• wear workout shoes or running shoes while jumping rope to reduce joint impact
• it's preferable to train on a floor that has some give like wood, rubber or similar
• don't over do it your first jump rope session - 5 to 10 minutes is fine for beginners
• make sure to input your height, weight and age into the computer to get an accurate "calories burned" reading
