I need to exercise. any suggestions on where to get a jump rope ideally one that is portable for travel. around either chunghe, shi-da or sogo’s?
regarding the swim gear shops, does any one have a recommendation for one around either chunghe, Shi-Da, or sogo’s?
I need to get some swim trunk rather than the baggy ones for the beach.
[quote=“Dragonbones”]What IS a jump rope? It’s a goddamn piece of rope. Jeepers! How is that not travellable? Get a damn piece of rope. Stuff it in yer damn luggage. Jeez.
Sorry. [/quote]
My jump rope has weighted handles and if I was backpacking I would not want the extra weight and would instead chose a lighter model.
With weighted handles…aren’t you working out your wrists?
If you want the rope to be “fast action” the technology is in the rope itself, not the handles. That’s why jump ropes with rubber tubing or those sectional plastic tubing jump ropes “swing” faster than regular ropes.
So pretty much, chichow, you just need a regular jump rope. If you want a faster swinging one, then get one with rubber tubing/sectional plastic tubing. As long as it has sturdy handles is fine. Weighted handles? Nah.
The sports shop on Shida Road has those funky stick-to-you swim trunks. It’s located at about the middle of Shida Road. The Shida University swimming pool also has swimming gear and they often have good discounts.
I have had great success with using an imaginary jump rope.
Length and speed never seem to be a problem.
And its very portable.
Weight?..never give it a thought…until I use it.
