You know that guy - the one that says "I just ran 10 miles on the treadmill" - thing is, if he actually tried
to run 10 real miles out on the track he would probably have a heart attack. Sure, those machines might be
nice for a rainy day, but they aren't quite as good as they seem. After all, running on a treadmill ain't real running.
The fact of the matter is, the definition of "functional fitness" is fitness you can actually use - that you can actually use while moving your body through space. Forget those fancy machines and take a step back... How did the oldtime boxers and wrestlers train? They did road work, they sprinted hills, they threw the medicine ball around, and they jumped rope. And why did they jump rope? Because it's a simple way to get in great shape, which builds quick feet and upper-body conditioning. Check out oldtime boxer Jimmy Clabby from 1915 over on the right... They say that ten minutes of jumping rope is equal to a half-hour of running and here's why: You see, when you run, you run at a certain pace, say one step every second, for example. And each of those steps is a small jump, propelling yourself forward. When you jump rope, you can "jump" as fast as three revolutions per second, not to mention that resistance is provided by the rope for the upper body, which is not so when you run... There's a good reason why the simple jump rope is one of our top-selling items. Now, if you need a new challenge, we present the Lifeline USA heavy jump ropes. |

I just finished a killer routine with a weighted heavy rope from Lifeline... It's fantastic." - Matt Furey, World Recognized Fitness Expert |

There are two different Lifeline Heavy Jump Ropes: the "Heavy" rope (which weighs 3/4 pounds) and the "Extra-Heavy" rope (which weighs 1-1/4 pounds) - don't let those weights fool you, you'll understand within 3 seconds of jumping why that weight makes such a difference.
Each of these Lifeline ropes are professionally engineered with non-breakable ball bearing handles for smooth action, patented adjustability feature for perfect rope length, weighted plastic cord, and a free step-by-step fully-illustrated instructional book by Bobby Hinds, noted jump rope expert.
