Recently I hooked our gym up with a pair of 50 foot 2-inch thick ropes to mix up my training… it has been awesome!

Ropes allow for a great total body workout that is very low impact on the joints. Furthermore, I have been able to get my heart rate up as high with the ropes as I do with running sprints… no joke!

Plus, you can further crank up the intensity by wearing a weight vest.

Take a look at a couple 4-minute tabata interval training workouts using undulation rope exercises:

In the second video, I experimented with some rope exercises on unstable surfaces and it was killer:

Just thought I’d share what’s been working for me… time to get ripped with ropes

Crank it!
