My girlfriend loves this jump rope because of the weighty feedback it gives as a complete beginner. She’s 5’5 and not particularly strong or great with endurance (yet!) but still enjoys using it over the 4 other ones I bought (including beaded, PVC, and a thinner speed cable).
With that being said, I’m decently strong & active and can definitely feel it burn my forearms more than my other ones, so unfortunately you may just have to try it for yourself and see if it’s something you can handle right off the bat or if you may need to build up to it. Luckily it’s extremely affordable (but not cheap, in my opinion, the handles feel absolutely beautiful to hold and the quality does not feel lacking overall) so you’re not out too bad if you decide to return or hold on to them for a later time.
For those of you that may be like me and are currently obsessively researching and comparing different jump ropes, here are the weight and length measurements:
Cable & handles: 8.40 ounces
Cable alone: ~3.40 ounces
Handles alone: ~2.5 ounces each
Cable diameter: 4.5mm
Handle diameter: 20.7mm
Handle length: 5.78 inches
Sorry for mix and matching units of measurement, just how I took the pictures at the time for my personal comparisons before deciding to put them up here for the benefit of others. Good luck in your decision-making process!
