Battle Ropes - 9m

Our Battle Ropes are the ultimate fat-burning tool, designed to withstand any HIIT and CrossFit session!

Not only are they fun to use, but they allow you to work muscles that would usually be looked over during your regular workout routine. Through whips, waves, slams and more, you can manoeuvre the ropes up, down, left, right and in circles, to target a range of different muscle groups.

Switching up your grip can also work specific muscles, underhand will punish the biceps while the overhand is ideal for targeting the triceps and back muscles.

Workout Ideas

Exercise 1 - Alternating Waves:
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold one end of each rope in each hand. Move your arms up and down in an alternating pattern, creating waves in the ropes. Do this for 30 seconds, then rest for 30 seconds. Repeat for 3-5 sets.

Exercise 2 - Slams:

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold one end of each rope in each hand. Raise your arms above your head, then slam the ropes down to the ground as hard as you can. Do this for 30 seconds, then rest for 30 seconds. Repeat for 3-5 sets.

Exercise 3 - Jumping Jacks:

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold one end of each rope in each hand. Jump your feet out to the sides while raising your arms up and out to the sides, creating waves in the ropes.

Jump your feet back together while lowering your arms. Do this for 30 seconds, then rest for 30 seconds. Repeat for 3-5 sets.

How To Setup

HOW TO ANCHOR A BATTLE ROPE?
Before you can do any of the exercises below, you need to know how to anchor the rope. If you are using battle ropes at the gym, then you likely don’t need to worry about this as they will already be anchored and ready for use, but if you have just bought battle ropes, here’s a few methods of anchoring them.

Circular Wall Anchor:

This is an anchor that you buy and secure to a wall with bolts. Then you can simply loop the battle rope through its designed hoop(s).
Strap Anchor: A strap anchor consists of two straps. You secure one to the battle rope and the other to a sturdy object like a fence, post, or tree and then the straps are connected together by a carabiner.

Chain Anchor:

This is just a strong metal chain that you can loop the battle ropes through and then wrap around any sturdy object and clip it in.
Ground Spike Anchor: This one doesn’t involve anything but the ground. All you have to do is fix the spike into the ground and then loop the battle rope through the designated area.
