5 Great Things About Battle Ropes

If ropes terrified you in your childhood gym class, well, it’s probably because you were asked to climb them. But now that your days of climbing are over, you can look at ropes in a whole new light. Battle ropes — also called battling ropes — are a piece of equipment that once again prove you don’t need heavy weights to get a good workout.

More than just tools to burn out your arms, battle ropes can be used to build strength and power throughout your entire body. Because of their ability to provide a serious, heart-pumping aerobic workout, they also make great additions to any high-intensity interval training program.
