The JumpSnap comes in Blue and Pink, the latter of which proceeds will go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. The Individual Package ranges from $50-$60 USD.

Jumping Goes Ropeless

Input your height and weight and turn on the talking mode, and the device will let you know of your progress by audible snaps.

Guaranteed for life, it comes with a workout DVD for $59.95.
