  • Patent number: 5690592
    Abstract: An exercising system is provided to enable a user to obtain twice the exercise per unit time offered by a conventional jump rope. At the same time, the system of the invention provides the user with a construction as near to that of the conventional jump rope as possible. To this end, a pair of opposed mutually independent elongated tubular handles are mounted to a pair of hoop members over which the user jumps between their ends. The system is adjustable so as to accommodate a range of sizes of users and graduated indicia are provided on the hoop members to enable a user to achieve a desired size. Also, as with a conventional jump rope, the exercising system is width adjustable to the extent desired by the user.
