Jump-N-Pump is designed to tone, strengthen and condition the entire body using safe and effective techniques with a weighted jump rope.  The weighted speed rope provides a two in one workout, building both cardio and strength. The removable weights in the handles provide extra resistance and increased workout intensity.  Young children and teens will both receive a great workout while moving to upbeat music.

A few facts:

• Jumping rope is an excellent exercise that is relatively easy and has a
  multitude of benefits and a low injury risk factor.
  
  
• Ten minutes of jumping rope can burn as many calories as 30 minutes of slow jogging! But unlike jogging, when performed correctly, jumping rope puts a lot less stress on your knees and back as well as exercises nearly every muscle in your body. It even reduces cellulite, and in some cases, eliminates it altogether. It is one of the best exercises to combat osteoporosis, because it is a full-body, weight-bearing exercise.
  
  
• According to the National Institutes of Health, jumping rope burns approximately 750 calories per hour, which is more than any other popular exercise except running. The faster you jump the more calories you burn.
