Skipping Rope

[ponder]

it might be my technique, but I suspect the length of the rope is the reason why my feet keep catching it.

You're supposed to lift your feet up

I'm looking for a skipping rope so that I can start skipping as exercise (gym isn't working for me)

The problem is that it seems all the skipping ropes on sale in south africa (that I could find in my online search) is 2.5m. I am 1.93m tall and according to some online publications, I would need a skipping rope at least 3m long. Can anyone confirm this?

Where can I find a skipping rope which is 3+m long?

a jump rope is just a rope man, you have to make the jump thing happen

Skipping has taken the back seat to women and work troubles at the moment, will probably get to it soon. The weather isn't helping either.

My rooms aren't large enough to do this indoors... Are yours?
