Strength resistance training jump rope

A resistance jump rope for strength and cardiovascular conditioning, comprising:

• a first handle including a terminal first end and a terminal second end and a second handle including a first end and a second end;
• a first elongated, flexible cord size and shaped to move in a circular arc about an individual as the cord passes by the legs of the individual having a first end and a second end, the first end of the cord being coupled to the first end of the first handle and the second end of the cord being coupled to the first end of the second handle, wherein the first handle includes an end housing at the first end of the first handle, and the first end of the first cord is secured to the end housing;
• and the second handle includes an end housing at the first end of the second handle, and the second end of the first cord is secured to the end housing;
• and
• a second resilient cord, substantially shorter than the first cord, the second cord including a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the second cord is secured to the first handle and the second end of the second cord is secured to the second handle such that the second resilient cord extends between the second end of the first handle and the second end of the second handle;
• wherein
• an individual using the jump rope may rotate the handles such that the first cord moves in a circular arc over which the individual may jump as it passes by the legs of the individual and the individual may move the first and second handles away from each other to create resistance in the second cord to isometrically exercise the upper body of the individual.
