A speed rope is a type of jump rope designed for fast-paced skipping and agility training. It typically features a lightweight construction and thin, durable cables that allow for quick rotations. Speed ropes are popular among athletes, especially in sports like boxing and CrossFit, where speed and coordination are essential. Using a speed rope can improve cardiovascular fitness, coordination, and overall agility. The quick movements involved in jumping with a speed rope engage multiple muscle groups, making it an effective workout tool. Many people incorporate speed ropes into their fitness routines for both warm-ups and high-intensity interval training (HIIT) sessions.
