If your going to workout hard with the jump rope you will need to take care of your jump rope to keep it in working condition. Here are a few jump rope care tips.
- Dont jump outside on asphalt or concrete – this will chew up your rope.
- Put a thin yoga mat down on the concrete if you chose to jump outside – this will prolong the length of your rope.
-
Use more than one rope so you dont pull all of your use on one rope.

4. Put a thin piece of tape on the middle of your rope so that it will take the abrasion of jumping on concrete.
- Hang your jump rope up at the end of the day. Jump ropes are often broken when they are left on the floor of the gym and someone drops a weight on them.
