I bought these ropes as my first proper jump rope set, hoping to use them regularly to boost my fitness and strength. The problem I have now is, I go to bed wanting to hurry up and get back to my ropes on the morning! I love both sets, as they give me different and effective workout capabilities. The strong ropes are tough, so you do feel the muscles pulsating! The fit ropes are great to get me going! Definitely one of the best investments I’ve made in my health and fitness! Well worth the outlay for superb ropes!
