Hello everyone! With it being Tuesday I've got another Tuesday Training Tip and today is about the versatile Battling Ropes. I took this pic last week at the end of my shoulder routine, which I throw battling ropes in at the end to get that final burn. In this picture I'm doing the standard battling ropes wave, but there are numerous exercises you can do with them. Such as power slams, snakes, claps, figure eight circles, outside circles...like I said, numerous exercises.
The thing I like about battle rope training is it's great for functional fitness. Training with battle ropes involves the entire body, training the neuromuscular system to apply force that begins at the core and extends through the arms and legs. Another great benefit is the high intensity, rapid nature of battle rope training, which means that you will develop an increased amount of muscular and cardiovascular endurance...not to mention burning a lot of fat in the process, and who doesn't love that?! :)
So if your gym is equipped with the battling ropes, give them a shot! Have a great rest of your Tuesday everyone, hope you enjoyed today's training tip, and for more fitness related material, be sure to check out my Facebook page.
