I managed to resist the urge to post about this outdoor treadmill when it first got posted on QT3, but the ropeless jumping rope has pushed me over the edge. Basically it seems to be a matched set of two weighted jumping rope handles with fancy electronics embedded to count your jumps and calculate how long you’ve been jumping. Except that it doesn’t have an actual rope connecting the two handles, so you won’t need to worry about tripping, or getting your rhythm wrong, or maintaining proper form. Because, hey, actually jumping with a rope is too hard and simply jumping in place without any equipment is just stupid.
