These Battling ropes exercises are a great way to get a full body workout. In This video learn 22 different battling rope moves and 5 battling ropes workouts for full body conditioning. Battling Ropes are a versatile training tool that you can use to work your entire body and improve your cardiovascular conditioning.
You can use the ropes to build an aerobic base, improve your lactic threshold or even increase your power.
At the same time that you can improve your cardiovascular conditioning, you can also develop functional full body strength.
There are two basic movements we do in our Battling Ropes Training – Waves and Pulls, which are drawn from John Brookfield’s Battling Ropes Training System. In this video we are focusing on the waves movements. (Pulls video coming soon!)
