Man invents ropeless jump rope

Last time I checked, doesn't it take a significant amount of effort to maintain the exact pace and positioning required when actually jump roping? With this you just clumsily bounce around. Seriously, just go running or something, then do a few min of weight training.

possibly but doing jumping jacks with weights is nothing like jump roping other than the fact that your jumping. when i jump rope i don't move my arms to my side and then raise them up over my head as I jump. you basically keep your arms out to your side and make circular motions as you jump.

Hold a weight and make the motions if you are that hardcore.

What about the coordination? What about the sound of the rope slapping the floor, keeping a rythym? Does this thing come with a metronome?

Makes me think of the DDR scene from Grandma's Boy.

"High score? What's that mean? Did I break it?"

Seriously one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time.
