Battle Rope: Step-by-Step Guide
- Step 1: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and hold one rope end in each hand. Bend your knees slightly and keep your back straight. Tighten your core to stay balanced.
- Step 2: Start with alternating waves. Lift one arm and whip the rope down hard, creating a wave in the rope. Switch to the other arm as the first wave travels.
- Step 3: Keep alternating arms, moving in a steady rhythm. Whip the ropes from shoulder height down to your hips. Focus on quick, controlled movements.
- Step 4: Breathe steadily as you move. Inhale when your arms rise, and exhale as you slam the rope down. Keep your core tight and your shoulders relaxed.
- Step 5: Continue for your set time or reps. Stay consistent, maintain good posture, and don’t stop until you hit your goal. You’re doing awesome!
