Long before while I was Rope-jumping over the footpath,the rope snapped in the middle but I did not notice the same until I fished my set of 100 jumps.Having no option I continued jumping with a snapped rope.I found this very helpful as with no rope (1) No problem of entangling with rope(2) Can jump over a lawn(3) While jumping I could turn around,took steps in all the four directions making the bystanders wonder about my funny looking exercise(4) At home could jump below the moving ceiling fan while watching TV.Now I improvised the jump-rope by clamping the ends of snapped rope in form of loops. WoW my homemade JumpSnap was ready ! Now I watch TV and the wallclock to see that I jump for 15 seconds,take rest for 15 seconds and the cycle continues for total 20 minutes while enjoying TV.

I love JumpSnap.I am now 65 and use Jumprope only for 15 seconds at a time.After rest of 15 seconds I jump again for another 15 seconds.This enjoyable exercise can be done while watching TV and Wallclock just to know when to stop/Start
