Not only will this ropeless wonder not get wrapped around your ankles but if you input your height and weight it will tell you how many calories you’ve burned. Everyone knows that jumping rope is a great form of exercise. It gets your heart pumping and can be done inside, no matter how crappy the weather is outdoors. You can’t say that about jogging. And because there’s no rope you can do your exercise routine in a small space without having to worry about clearance. This would make the perfect gift for college students who like to keep in shape so start your Christmas shopping early and snag this cool ropeless jump rope.

“This ropeless jump rope allows you to skip rope in limited space indoors and will not interrupt the flow of your workout routine by getting caught in your feet. You can input your height and weight into the device, and the LCD on one of the handheld units informs you of calories burned, jump repetitions, and exercise time, or the device has a “talking” mode that informs you of exercise progress. Part of the training regimen of professional boxers and Olympic wrestlers, jumping rope exercises your cardiovascular system while exerting less stress on knees than jogging, strengthens your arms and shoulders, and ten minutes of jumping rope can burn as many calories as running an eight minute mile.”
