Customer Reviews of Tanita CJ-688-TB Jump Rope with Calorie CounterCustomer Review: Wonderful rope, especially for starters Summary: 5 Stars
I had tried several times to develop facility with jumping rope, but I fatigued too easily and could never build stamina. I would jump for a minute or two or even three, but I would miss a jump and then feel like I had to start all over. Needless to say, I couldn't sustain a disciplined learning curve.However, with this rope, I didn't have to worry about sustaining (or counting) a specific number of minutes of jumping...I could set myself a goal of xxx number of JUMPS, increasing that number each time, and thus develop the necessary stamina to make a jump rope workout as fun and effective as it should be. By setting a goal of JUMPS instead of TIME, it didn't matter how often I missed a jump...I could just start from where I stopped and the counter would keep clicking away. Even if every other jump was a miss (which wasn't actually the case), as long as I kept going, I could eventually reach my goal. Well, not only was I able to build stamina and increase my jump goal each time, but the more regular attempts I was making (and persistence in going for my goal of xxx number of jumps) allowed me to develop the agility to jump longer with fewer misses. Before too long, I was actually a ROPE JUMPER! I have bought other jump ropes--light "fast" ones, and heavier ones for more muscular development--and I enjoy each of them for the traits specific to them. But I never would have developed any jump roping skill at all if not for this terrific rope. I've had it now for a couple of years, and the battery has not run down, and I've never had any problem with rope tangling. Also, I am tall and it is hard to find jump ropes of sufficient length for me, but this one is comfortably long, (yet the length is adjustable and can be made shorter). I even bought one of these for another person and recommended it to still others. All in all, a TERRIFIC jump rope! Viva Tanita!!

Description of Tanita CJ-688-TB Jump Rope with Calorie CounterDon't skip this! Jumping rope has always been a simple and very effective form of cardiovascular exercise. Healthy Jump brings the rope up-to-date. Our version not only counts the number of jumps, but actually calculates the number of calories you're burning. The ten-foot rope is adjustable to accommodate any sized jumper. The swivel-action head rotates in both directions, allowing you to jump forward, backward or criss-cross. The weight button allows you to enter your weight so that you can accurately calculate the number of calories you've burned, and easily read them on the LCD display. Rope-jumping is considered by many professionals to be the perfect exercise because it tones the entire body and strengthens the cardiovascular system. A great time, a great workout and instant results-this is what healthy living is about. Having to count while jumping rope can take the rhythm right out of a good jump-roping workout. That's why this smartly designed rope from Tanita manages the numbers for you. It's easy to use--just enter your weight in the handle's LCD display and start jumping. The display keeps track of calories and jumps as you go, counting while the rope's in motion and stopping when it stops. Comfortable and large enough for big hands, the rope's handles are lightweight and easy to grip. Because it attaches with swiveling clips, the adjustable 10-foot rope doesn't tangle up if you choose to jump backward or crisscross your hands. --Emily Bedard
