Jumping Rope

If you are starting out I suggest that you go to your local home improvement store and buy a length of 500lb test rope. This will be rope about 3/4 inch wide. Buy enough length to go under your feet and a little bit above your armpits. I say a little bit above because you're going to buy a little bit of pvc pipe for handles and tie knots before and after the pvc pipe. So when you're finished you'll have a perfect jump rope which goes under your feet and up to your armpits. If it is any shorter you're going to have problems.
