I made a wish jumping rope, I caught a fish jumping rope Popular rope-skipping songs like this one may bring back old memories. It might even inspire you to grab your old jump rope and incorporate it into your new exercise regimen. But there's a whole new rope routine that may jump start your metabolism and kick it up to a whole new level. If you're ready to do serious battle with those unwanted pounds, then you need a set of battle ropes. Grab hold and get ready for one of the most high-intensity workouts you've ever had.
They were originally designed for training in football or mixed martial arts. Then body-building titan and strength world record-holder John Brookfield transformed their use and made them popular in homes and fitness centers around the world. Also called muscle ropes, conditioning ropes, and fitness ropes - by any name you choose, they're powerful enough to whip you into shape.
Typically they're 50 feet long, one-and-a-half inches in diameter, and weigh a whopping 25 pounds; the ones that are a couple of inches in diameter can weigh as much as 50 pounds.
Despite their combative name, battle ropes don't wage war against your joints; instead, they're killer on your core, tone and strengthen your muscles, and help your body burn calories like a furnace.

High-Intensity Interval Training
Sandwiched between a five-minute warm up and a five-minute cool down, experts suggest a series of 10 to 30-second power surges, performing basic battle rope exercises - waves, throws, spirals, slams, or whips - followed by a minute of rest between each surge. They're affordable and portable. They don't require a gym membership or special skills. All you need is the will to do the work and an anchor - no not a ship anchor. Use a tree, a pole, or other stationary beam and you can pull, wave, or even climb your way to the fittest physique of your life. Watch video.
