Product Information
Full details
The Nike Fundamental Weighted Rope is an ideal training tool for athletes and fitness enthusiasts looking to elevate their cardio endurance and upper body strength. By integrating weighted foam handles, this rope forces your muscles to work harder, significantly increasing calorie burn during standard skipping sessions. While its heavy-duty construction provides excellent durability for various fitness levels, users should note that the added weight makes it best suited for strength-focused intervals rather than high-speed competitive speed jumping.

FAQs
Can I use this for double-unders?
While possible, the added weight of the handles makes this rope better suited for strength and endurance training rather than competitive speed skipping.
How do I adjust the length?
The rope features an adjustment mechanism at the base of the handle. Simply slide the stopper to the desired length and trim the excess cable.
Is this rope suitable for beginners?
Yes, but beginners should start with shorter intervals to allow their shoulders and forearms to adapt to the 8.1-ounce weight.
How should I clean the foam handles?
Wipe the handles down with a lightly dampened cloth. Avoid soaking them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners.
Does this rope work on concrete?
The high-density construction is durable, but using it on smooth gym floors or rubber mats will significantly increase the lifespan of the rope compared to rough concrete.
Troubleshooting
Rope feels stiff during rotation
Ensure the aluminum socket is free of debris and check that the cable is not kinked at the connection point.
Rope is hitting the floor at an awkward angle
Adjust the length of the rope using the internal adjustment mechanism until it hits the ground consistently at the midpoint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your rope, start by standing on the center of the rope with one foot. Pull the handles upward toward your chest; the tops of the handles should reach your armpits. If the rope is too long, use the adjustable mechanism to trim the excess.
For maintenance, ensure the aluminum socket remains clean of dust and debris to keep the steel ball rotating smoothly. Wipe the foam handles with a damp cloth after each workout to remove sweat, and store the rope in a cool, dry place to prevent the handle material from degrading over time.
