Skippy! 10/05/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages fun toy
Disadvantages none, good quality item

This was my first skipping rope when I was a young girl and I still have it now, although it lives at my mum's house. It is a really good quality, classic jump rope. As a young girl we used to play with it all the time, singing little jumping rhymes and having fun. Athletes use skipping ropes to train with and especially boxers use them. It is a great cardio work out that that can burn up to 1000 calories and also tones and builds up strength at the same time. It is a great way for kids to get active and I used play with it a lot when I was little. Description The rope is 270 cm long and is ... more

A skipping rope just like I had when I was little! 02/08/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages gets children active, fun
Disadvantages wood becomes damaged easily

I remember when I was younger that there was much fun to be had with a skipping rope and so last year I invested in a mookie skipping rope for my son which was much the same design as the one I had many years ago. The skipping rope itself is a white rope with a blue and red pattern going all the way along it. The rope has pale coloured wooden handles which are varnished to give them a shiny look. The skipping rope cost me around four pounds from a local independent toy store but having looked online I can advise that you can pick them up from amazon for just short of five pounds. There are ... more

Skipping with Mookie! 08/05/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Affordable, sturdy design, multiple uses, a good fitness tool
Disadvantages Not the prettiest rope to look at, quite a long rope for children

Whilst walking through a shopping store last summer I spotted a wooden skipping rope, not quite what I would usually buy but nonetheless I decided to buy it to fit into my new found exercise plan. The skipping rope cost around £4 in price and this I considered a bargain given the hours of exercise it could potentially give me. The Product This skipping rope is in my opinion quite traditional in construction with wooden handles and a long rope which is white in colour with flecks of black and red. This skipping rope is not the prettiest in design, compared to some of its more colourful ... more

You get what you pay for 22/08/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Maintains its shape; initially very good
Disadvantages Frays and wears over a short time; you get what you pay for

I've been doing a lot of exercise recently, whether it be off my own back or as a client for a friend's personal trainer course. One of the things he's had me doing as part of a warm up is skipping, and although at first it was frustrating, it's something that you can pick up and get used to quite quickly. Choosing the right skipping rope isn't something I had considered as being important, but having used a few different ones now, I've realised that it does indeed make a difference. Quite a few sports related skipping ropes these days are all plastic, the 'rope' as well as the handles ... more

Mookie Skipping Rope 22/05/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Cheap, ok as a childrens toy
Disadvantages Not designed for adults!

I like to keep fit but don’t have time to do many activities away from home such as attending a gym or swimming due to work and childcare issues so I do what I can from home. I have always been a fan of skipping and owned a skipping rope a while back but got out of the habit of doing it when my skipping rope broke and I didn’t replace it. I decided to give it another go recently after talking with friends at work as I am determined to get that ‘bikini bod’ for my holiday in September. As my last skipping rope broke, I decided to just purchase a normal skipping rope rather than a specific ... more

Keep on Skipping 01/05/2012

User recommends the product

Advantages Strong, great fun, exercise
Disadvantages Too Long

My eldest daughter was bought these skips last year a as a present when we had our youngests christening which i thought was rather sweet. I always remember playing with skips when I was little and remember having lots of fun with them and playing games with friends at school with them although they are not allowed to take things to school now. The skips have wooden handles which are shaped to make them comfortable to hold and the top of the handle unscrews from the bottom of the handle which I think is good as if the knot comes out inside and the rope happens to come loose from the handle you ... more

Don't get hung up over this rope. 01/05/2012

Advantages Pocket money price, cheap and cheerful kids toy.
Disadvantages Poor design and cheap materials, easily broken.

This wooden skipping rope from Mookie is something my sister used to own and play with on a regular basis. I guess girls are more 'into' skipping than boys - I were more interested in ball games and cars! If you were looking for a more modern and better designed skipping rope then you would be looking at paying upwards of £5. As you can buy the Mookie wooden skipping rope for around the £2-3 mark I can see why some people do buy them, although they don't seem anywhere near as popular now. The problem with this wooden skipping rope is that although it is intended for children, it can (and does) ... more
