Battle Ropes!!!!!!

Battle Rope training is a staple in unconventional gyms across the country.  There are numerous reasons why they are one of the most functional pieces of equipment for high intensity training and hardcore conditioning.






BENEFITS OF BATTLE ROPE TRAINING:- 

  •  Cardiovascular and resistance exercise done simultaneously.
  •  Time saved with shorter workouts.
  • All muscle groups are worked on in one session.
  • Low impact.
  • Maximum calorie burn achieved.


You can purchase your own battle rope for home use as they are relatively inexpensive....start light for example a 10 or 15 pound rope and increase as you get stronger.

I've included a video below where Celebrity Fitness Trainer Nicole Chaplin explains stance, grip and form with respect to the use of battle ropes.  She also shares some routines.





Good luck guys.......It would be great to hear about your experiences with this exercise, feel free to post comments....
