If you end up jumping rope for a decent amount of time, you may find your hands getting tired, and may find that the handles of your rope start feeling a bit slippery. These foam-covered handles, on the other hand, are meant to keep you comfortable and ensure a firm grip.

They are larger than most jump rope handles, so you won't have to hold on as tightly, and the foam creates a grippier texture than plastic or wood. This rope also has adjustable handle weights up to 1.5 pounds for added oomph.

While 4 pounds may not sound like much, it can become quite the burden if you're whipping that amount of weight around your body. Unlike most weighted jump ropes, this one carries its weight in the rope as opposed to the handles, which really helps you get a full body workout. If 4 pounds seems like a bit much for you, try one of the 1-, 2-, or 3-pound weights also available in this model.

Though thick ropes like this are most often used as battle ropes, this one was designed specifically to jump with. Its ends are rubberized to help give it some grip and prevent chafing on your hands, and it has a wear-resistant sleeve that helps keep the rope from snagging and wearing.

Note that this rope weighs 5 pounds and has quite a large grip, so if you're a beginner, or are looking for more speed than power, you will probably want to go with a more traditional jump rope.
