Battle Rope Workout

Battle Rope Conditioning Workout - Strengthen your core.

There comes a point in every guy’s life when it’s time for a change. Your fitness regimen is no exception.

Aside from the boredom factor, there’s also the plateau effect. Adding an unconventional training technique to your fitness regimen will not only restore life to your workouts, it’ll shock different muscles into action.

Originally developed for specific combat sports such as football and Mixed Martial Arts, heavy rope training (or rope battling) is making it mainstream. If you’re looking for highly effective, back-to-basics type of conditioning that brings a new twist to your fitness routine, this is it.

Along with increasing your strength, power and endurance, the constant motion of rope battling will floor you with a muscle-toning, metabolic workout unlike any other. You’ll be shocked at how fast a few quick whips can get you to your maximum heart rate.

All You Need

Unlike those flimsy infomercial contraptions or expensive home workout machines, heavy rope training requires just one sturdy, low-cost piece of equipment--rope. Don’t have one? No problem. Head to your local hardware store and get yourself about 50 feet of manila rope (1.5 to 2 inches in thickness). Manila is best because it’s sturdy and will stand up to the weekly pounding you put it through.
