While it's impossible to say who initially took a length of rope and jumped over it for exercise, it's safe to state that jumping rope, or skipping as it is often known, has actually been around for a very long time. It's not hard to picture the gladiators of ancient Rome or the early Greek Olympians making use of a jump rope made from thin leather in an effort to boost their fitness. Fast forward to modern-day times and jump rope designs have actually improved enormously.
