Smart Rope is an app developed by Tangram Factory. You can improve and manage your workout stats in real time by connecting to the Smart Rope LED/PURE/ROOKIE. Smart Rope is a new app that has been improved from the original Smart Gym app. Smart Rope and Smart Gym are not compatible, so a resubscribing is required to use SmartRope app. Jumping rope is a full body workout, it strengthens your upper and lower body, and burns a lot of calories in a short time. Therefore, many trainers and experts recommend jumping rope as the best fat-burning exercise; better than running or cycling. So set up a daily target for yourself and try to reach it. This application is for 'Smart Rope'. Compatible with LED/PURE/ROOKIE products. Smart Rope App Features: -Basic Count Supports 4 basic modes: Jump count/Calories burned/Time elapsed/Daily target(%). This will help you to reach your daily exercise goals more effectively. -Interval Training Select training sessions with recommended workout and rest intervals, based on your skill level and fitness goals. This way you can boost your stamina in a short period of time. -Leaderboard See how you stack up against the competition, rank yourself against Smart Rope users around the world.
