Or you can buy a real skipping rope from Kmart for $2. Seriously this must of been one of the worst ideas of 2013. Why not just jump if you want to burn calories

Can use it indoors with low ceiling?
I don't know, I'm scraping for positives. Seems like a pretty naff idea.
Still, people pay big money for machines to go for an indoor virtual walk or virtual bike ride, rather than going outside and doing the real thing. Marketing to agoraphobics?

Avoids tripping on the rope if tired or just not so co-ordinated, but the other suggestion below works :P :) (cut the rope off a $2 skipping rope)

Back in my day, our imaginary skipping ropes didn't need batteries.

LOL not sure if srs.

now i can finally do all those neat skipping rope tricks

You could just cut the rope off of a $3 jump rope from KMart…

$19.00?!
Imagination is free, brother!
A truly unique product! I deeply admire the brain behind it, probably he is making more money from this "invention" than many…

Next invention: virtual dumbbells for the strength challenged.

Stretches are important before skipping to avoid injuries…follow advice from the following:

I lol'd more at the RRP price.

Looks like a dual vibrator set

That was my first thought too.lol

Skipping for those in denial

These might be good if you are hopeless at skipping and keep tripping over the rope ;-)
Then again you could just jump up and down in which case someone can sell you this lol
I am actually using one right now as I type this comment. Just set a new personal best actually.

Reminds me of the emperor's new clothes.

Do they come with the optional sensor unit that detects when you have mis-timed the jump, and sends a signal to the device that straps onto your leg, and gives an electrical pulse to simulate the contact?

theres a virtual price of $9 shipping for this item

Can I pay them my virtual $19 for the virtual rope?

From the site …."Skipping is one of the cheapest, most effective fat burning workouts you can do"


this will come in handy when I do virtual exercise with my hot virtual Swedish model girlfriend
