Sizing Tips & Guidelines

It doesn't matter what your jump rope skills are; you need to ensure that you get the correct jump rope size for your height. An incorrectly sized jump rope can affect the performance and, ultimately, your enjoyment from jumping rope.

Common Sizing Issues:

If your jump rope is too long:

  • It will slow down your movements
  • You may trip due to rope drag
  • Reduced control and precision

If your jump rope is too short:

  • Makes learning more difficult
  • Risk of hitting your ankles
  • Limited movement range

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I cut my adjustable jump rope as short as possible?

Keep it on the longer side initially and test before cutting. You can always make it shorter, but you can't add length back.

What if my height falls between sizes?

Generally, size up. The difference in height will be minor, but sizing down could make it too difficult to use.

Should my jump rope be touching the ground?

Yes, especially for beginners. The rope should make contact with the ground during jumps. The amount of contact will vary based on your jumping style and experience level.
