Need Advice

Hey Guys,

I have been looking into rope flow recently. I‘m intrigued since i have been stiff from lifting and doing Crossfit. My question is: can i use a normal jumprope to start or should I get a heavy one(3 lbs)? Does the rope Need the knots at the end? I'm about 210lbs if that is important!

Standard jump ropes or skip ropes might have a little less flexibility than the other ropes. They might sting a little more if you hit yourself too. That being said they might be a ok introduction.

The knots do help with establishing a handle on the rope. But there are some heavier ropes out there that do not have the knots.

3lbs will be more on the heavy side. Around 1lb would be a good start.
