This high-tech jump rope syncs to an app on your phone to collect jumps, calories burned, and workout times.

A denser midsole provides just enough cushion and the brand's midsole tech is designed to capitalize on your energy generation rather than absorbing it. A soft woven upper keeps feet feeling locked in.

Tighter-fitting gear like this streamlined tank ensures your rope won’t get caught on your wardrobe.


Grip can become an issue during long, sweat-drenched jump rope sessions; these gloves are made from lightweight neoprene to keep hands dry.

Those with long hair will quickly learn that a ponytail simply doesn’t work when a jump rope is involved. These no-mark hair ties made especially for working out make sweeping hair up into a quick bun a cinch.
