WOD Nation Speed Jump Rope

Best Jump Rope for CrossFit: Whether you’re using it for your WOD (workout of the day) or just for warm ups and improving your overall footwork and coordination, this speed jump rope from WOD Nation lets you do more repetitions and complete the elusive double unders.

We like this set because unlike some of the others where the cable is just fitted through a hole at the end of the handle, this jump rope uses fast spinning metal ball bearings. The smooth rolling metal bearings make turning transitions faster as the coating of the cable doesn’t rub against the plastic or metal ring.

As a result you get smoother transitions per turn and more consistent results from the cable. Offered in 9 varying cable colors, you can select from between yellow, blue, orange, purple or just go with the standard black cable.

As far as measurements are concerned, the handles are 6 inches long and made of plastic, while the cable is 122 inches long. As with the others you’ll have to cut the wire cable to get it to the best fit.
