Battling Ropes* (sometimes referred to as battle ropes or power rope) is an exercise system that builds remarkable strength and stamina.
Battling Ropes is highly effective for athletes who need to increase strength and speed that needs to be sustained for a long duration of time.
It uses the principle of sustained velocity (the combination of strength and speed) to keep muscles under continuous load during both the adduction and abduction phases of exercise.
The idea for Battling Ropes was inspired by the constant energy carried in ocean waves. Hydraulic force is continuously transferred as ocean waves oscillate. Similarly, Battling Ropes require you to constantly exert muscle power to create and counteract waves of continuous force.
Battling Ropes are appropriate for people at all levels of physical fitness. You choose the intensity level of your workout.
Although it should be no surprise that Battling Ropes will strengthen your shoulders, arms, chest, and back . . . you may be surprised at how much it strengthens your core. Battling Ropes require you to maintain core stabilization throughout the exercise.
Battling Ropes used to be the “secret weapon” of the Olympic Training Center and of professional sports teams, but now the secret is out. Their popularity has been exploding since they started being seen on the TV program “The Biggest Loser”.
