Abstract: A jump rope comprising cable and handle assemblies. The handle assembly comprises grip and bearing sections, the bearing section threadably connected to the grip section and comprising a housing and a heim joint, the heim joint comprising a metal ball that swivels within the heim joint housing. The grip section comprises female threads tor receiving a male threaded end of the bearing section. The cable assembly comprises a cable and cable stop. The cable is attached to the heim joint by slidably inserting a cable end through the aperture in the ball. A distal end of the heim joint comprises internal female threads that engage with a male threaded proximal end of a rotatable shaft located within the bearing housing. The rotatable shaft is supported by first and second ball bearings located on either end of the shaft so that the rotatable shaft may rotate freely within the bearing housing.
