Rope Length Guidelines

- Intermediate: Height + 24 inches (2 feet) - Balanced length for developing skills and speed
- Advanced: Height + 9 inches - Minimal clearance for maximum speed and trick performance
How to Measure Rope Length
When you receive your jump rope, you can verify the length by:
- Stand on the center of the rope with both feet together
- Pull the handles straight up alongside your body
- For beginners, handles should reach your armpits
- For intermediate, handles should reach mid-chest
- For advanced, handles should reach between waist and chest
Most jump ropes are adjustable, so you can trim them to your calculated ideal length. Always test the rope before making permanent cuts, and adjust based on your personal comfort and jumping style.
