Battling Ropes have been steadily becoming more popular over the last few years. People are finally starting to realise the massive improvement adding these ropes to your fitness regime can make!

Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews has been at it again. Commenting on using the ropes he said,

‘By the way the thing with the rope, known as battle-ropes, is harder than it looks – the rope is pretty heavy at 10kgs each hand, I always feel knackered after doing three sets of 30 seconds.’

Spencer’s attempts to get back into shape have clearly worked though as can be seen in his cover page for Mens Health shown below.

The high intensity training technique has been scientifically proven to have huge fat burning potential with fast results. 

The short bursts of exercise, done using the ropes leaves people feeling toned and with stronger arms and core.

2)   You can use them anywhere – battling ropes can be used indoors and outdoors, you only require a post, anchor point or tree! Whilst the manila ropes offer a more intense workout the polypropyleneropes are fully waterproof and can get wet and muddy and require very little care. Choosing longer lengths and larger thicknesses allows the same level of intensity as manila.

3)   Many Exercises – Battling ropes are far more dynamic that free weights and other traditional workouts; there are many workouts you can do with the ropes; a quick look at YouTube and you will find many variations. You can even make up your own routines that work for you.
