"Okay the next tip I want to stress on the importance of having plenty of jump ropes in the gym, um, and not all just one size, not all just one length, not all one design; you want to have an assortment of jump ropes so that you get a good variety for the variety of boxer that you're going to have. You're going to want some jump ropes that are short, um, you're going to want some jump ropes that are light in weight, you're going to want some jump ropes that are quite long, and also jump ropes that are thicker and heavier. Um, one of the jump ropes we're going to be looking at is the plastic speed rope. This is a little bit faster than your average jump rope, um, it's also adjustable as in, once you uh, decide you need a little bit shorter, you can pass it through, put on another nut, and actually shorten it. Of course, once it's short, it's short. The other jump ropes we're going to be looking at, is a leather, more heavier jump rope. But this also has weighted handle, so not only is the leather a little bit heavier, but also the weighted handles maybe even a better work out. And one of the third jump ropes we're going to be looking at, is a simple cotton jump rope; um, a little bit slower, but a little bit easier to use than the quicker, faster ones, and the heavier ones."
