The rope always hits me in the back of the head.

It kept hitting my shins, at which point the trainer told me to jump higher, and once I did that he told me to jump lower.

Exercise is willful self-abuse.

I was thinkin' about getting a jumprope - although it's been more like two decades since I've used one.

Any recommendations for a brand/style?

It's a fucking jump rope man. Just make sure it's long enough and avoid those little thin rubber ones. Those sting like a motherfucker if you hit yourself.

Jump rope is all about rhythym. Synchronise your jumps with your arms to jump at the moment the rope closes in on your feet. It's not that hard, you played many videogames, think of counter timing. Don't tuck your legs when you jump because you'll lose your tempo and get tired quickly, and for fucks sakes unless you can do 2-3 minutes without stops DON'T try the thin ones and espeacially the iron ones.
