If you could only use one training tool to cause the biggest metabolic impact, it would be battle ropes…hands down! Battle ropes are one of the best ways to increase overall work capacity that provides an intense muscle shredding workout that can be incorporated into any workout program.
The Benefits of Using Battle Ropes
1.) Low to no impact on the joints which is important for logevity.
2.) Burns as many calories and elevates heart rate just as much as sprinting and running.
3.) Allows for continuous power output where other tools have a clear stop and go or easy and hard part during the movement.
4.) Involves the entire body.
5.) Works the core muscles in ways that few other training tools can by both utilizing your shoulders, hips, and abs and also forcing you to brace your core and stabilize your spine during explosive movement.
