A jump rope has a rope rotatably attached to handles. One or both handles has a grip, and a cap on a shaft supported by one or more bearings, to allow the cap to rotate with the shaft relative to the grip. The rope extends through an adjustment hole in the cap. The shaft is moveable relative to the cap to place the handle into a locked configuration where the rope is clamped in place and prevented from moving through the cap, and into an unlocked configuration where the rope is moveable through the cap to adjust the length of the rope. |

A jump rope includes a first handle and a second handle. A rope connects the first handle and the second handle. The first handle defines a cavity. A generation module is disposed in the cavity and is fixed relative to the handle. The generation module includes a bearing, an electric generator, and a battery. A rotor of the electric generator is mechanically coupled to the bearing and an end of the rope is also coupled to the bearing. The electric generator is electrically coupled to the battery. Rotation of the rope relative to the handle causes at least a portion of the bearing to rotate relative to the handle. The rotation of the bearing rotates the generator which generates electric energy, at least a portion of which is stored in the battery. |

An exercise gaming device in which the user stands in front of a housing having a plurality of rows of lights extending from the front of the housing to the rear of the housing. The rows of lights are sequentially illuminated to give the illusion that the lights are an illuminated light rope over which the user must jump. There is a sensor in the jump area that is electrically connected to the illuminated lights to determine if the user jumps at the correct time when the lights at the bottom of the housing are illuminated. The device continues to rotate the light rope as long as the user continues jumping at the appropriate time, or until the game ends. |

Conventional skipping ropes have a generally elongate handle swivellably mounted on each end of the rope which is held by the user between the fingers and palms. In accordance with the invention, the handle is shaped like a “T” with the vertical stroke of the T being, at one end, swivellably connected to the rope, and also being, at the other end, connected to the crosspiece, a.k.a. transverse portion, of the T. The handle may be held with the crosspiece of the T situated between fingers and palm and with the vertical “stroke”, a.k.a. elongate portion, extending between two fingers. The crosspiece a.k.a. transverse portion of the handle is asymmetric, and thereby adapted to fit to a hand which is holding the handle with the vertical a.k.a. elongate portion passing between two fingers other than the second (index) and third (middle) fingers. This gives a more comfortable and effective skipping position, which allows the transverse portion of the handle to be in contact with all the fingers and/or the full width of the palm. |

A jump rope having a rope section having two ends, and a connector attached to one end of the rope section, the connector having a hook section, a middle section connected at one end to the hook section, and a flange section integral with the other end of the middle section. An end cap is attached to another end of the rope section. The first handle has two open ends and a conical shape, one of the open ends having a smaller size fixedly connected to the end cap. The second handle has two open ends and a conical shape, one of the open ends having a smaller size configured to slide over the flange section of the connector and abut against the middle section of the connector allowing the connector to spin freely in the handle when the jump rope is in use and the connector is not connected to another jump rope. When the jump rope is connected to another jump rope, the second handle can be locked to the first handle so as not to be sliding around on the jump rope when the jump rope is in use. |

This invention is a skipping rope comprising a flexible cord and a pair of handles secured on the cord and defining there between an effective cord length wherein at least one of the said handles on the cord is an interference fit in the opening of the handle so the effective cord length is adjusted by moving the handle assembly along the cord member and is maintained by the interference fit between the cord and the opening in the handle. Movement of the handle is performed simply by applying tension between the cord and the handle so the user, by moving the handle in one direction or the other, may find an effective working cord length that most suits them. |

Preferably, the invention is concerned with a unique “w” shaped exercise bar, a short elongated central shaft that easily comes apart, a pair of hand grip portions disposed on either side of the central shaft, and a pair of removable jump rope handles with adjustable color coded-retractable ropes hidden inside the handles. When together, the bar is ergonomically designed to fit the smaller frames of the age demographic it is intended for (children ages 8 and up), allowing them to perform many exercises in the field of musculoskeletal strengthening, musculoskeletal flexibility, and cardiovascular conditioning. When the bar is taken apart and transformed, the individual pieces complete a pair of light weight dumbbells and an adjustable jump rope designed to fit any child's size from 3 ft to 7 ft tall. |

A jump rope simulator for aerobic and anaerobic exercise having a hand-held unit comprising a handle, a base length connected to the handle, and one or more concatenated extension lengths attached to the base length. To exercise, the user grasps one or two units, imitates the motions of swinging a conventional jump rope, and jumps up and down, but there is no risk to the user of tripping over a rope as with a conventional jump rope. If the user desires, two units may also be linked together with an easily attachable connector to form a device similar to a conventional jump rope. A user can quickly convert between the two configurations of the jump rope simulator. |
