An apparatus for attaching a jump rope to a pair of handweights which has a C-shaped adapter which accommodates the full range of detachable weights normally used with aerobic handweights such as the “Heavy Hands”handweights of AMF Industries. The C-shaped adapter slips over the threaded extension on one end of each handweight and is held in place by the detachable weight after it is screwed down over the threaded extension. The C-shaped adapter has an upper portion in which a pressed fit bearing accommodates and retains one extreme end of the jump rope and has a lower portion having a circular opening for slidably attaching each C-shaped adapter to one of the respective handweights. A middle portion of the C-shaped adapter holds the upper and lower portions of the C-shaped adapter in a parallel relationship to one another and the dimensions of the C-shaped adapter are such that its three portions clear the depth and diameter of each of the range of detachable weights. Retainer clips on either end of the jump rope hold it within the C-shaped adapter and a resilient washer, permanently affixed to the inside of the lower portion of the C-shaped adapter, assure a tight fit for the detachable weight.
