well then how do you jump the "rope"

The cordless jump rope? Okay...I think this is stupid. What's the point of buying it if there is no rope? I can do that kind of stuff without the jump rope altogether.

I can almost (with a considerable stretch of imagination) see it working if you're using it by yourself. But if it's two people "turning" it and you jumping "over" it, then you'd all just look really stupid.

Either way, it's a total waste of money.

Terrible idea. Enough said.

I'd try it. I'm too clumsy to use an actual jump rope.

no.
what's the point in that?

Can't you just jump?? Or do people really need those handles in their hands to reassure them? I don't see any point.

That sounds pretty silly.

If I was that klutzy that I couldn't jump with a regular rope, I'd just jump with no rope at all.

Then it's not a jump rope. It's handles.
And no, I wouldn't buy them.

Why not save the money, and just jump up and down?

Your wrists also get a work out from spinning the handles when you jump rope. The weights in this one give your wrists the same work out, similar to the 'powerball', a small ball that you hold in the palm of your hand, wind it up and release it, and spinning your wrist in a circular motion cases the ball inside to spin faster and faster, making the ball seem heavier and heavier. It's a really weird sensation, but it really works your arms out.

I think this is a good idea.

Because that's not all you do when you jump rope.

Of course, provided that they'd buy my Virtual Book, with blank pages, perfect for the illiterate, or my Magazine-Free rifle, it doesn't even have the slot for any ammo, or the ability to fire any if it had, perfect for a pacifist, or for crossing boarders. I also sell Intangible-bullet proof vests, to protect the wearer against bullets that aren't being fired at him.

But most importantly, I have a limited offer of a Cordless Bungee-Jump Kit, perfect for people who are gene-pool-surplus.

I'd use it, cuz you can just twirl them really fast and have people go "wow, she's pretty good." I'm terrible, my record is 4 consecutive jumps.

I would have to try it...

Doesn't that completely defeat the point of skipping?

i can get the same effect with a real jump rope or just by jumping up and down while rotating my wrists in cicles

Well if I was really in to exercising but I was too clumsy to use a real jump rope, ot does sound like a good idea.

But no, I wouldn't buy one, since I'm not clumsy nor do I enjoy exercising.

WHAT IS THE POINT OF THIS THING?

Sorry, I know what the point is, but it would seem you'd need some serious free time to actually do this.

Sure I would. I'm a sucker for novelties.

No, I'm not that clumsy.

What's the point? It's so much fun with the rope!
