The Co-Fit jump rope features a long cotton rope and wooden handles for a nice easy grip and smooth jump roping. The rope is made of heavy weight cotton; so it is made to last and outlast other jump ropes, on whatever surface you use it on. The wooden handles feature connectors that keep the rope on track when doing serious jump rope workouts.

Skipping is an activity not only suited for competition or recreation, but also for a cardiovascular workout, similar to jogging or bicycle riding. This aerobic exercise can achieve a "burn rate" of up to 700 calories per hour of vigorous activity, with about 0.1 calories consumed per jump. Ten minutes of jumping rope is roughly the equivalent of running an eight-minute mile. Jumping rope for 15–20 minutes is enough to burn off the calories from a candy bar.
